Invested a large sum?

Have any of you ever invested a large sum of money into an e-commerce business?

I haven't done so yet but I do have some ideas that I'd like to implement that might cost me a good amount of money. However, at the same time I also have some projects that I could probably start up with less than a $1,000 as I can do all the technical work myself and just need to pay for hosting amongst other things.

Also, if you have done so, was it worthwhile?

I'm still working out how much I'll need to spend to get my new ecommerce business up and running properly. Still researching and finding ways to make it all work for me with what I have.

I began my ecommerce business using all the free tools I could find. I used templates to get started and sold affiliate products to create revenue. As profits increased I expanded hosting, bought new web design templates and created my own products to add to my ranges.

Well, according to me the best option is to start off with less investment and then expand your E-commerce business when it's working for you and you are earning a good amount of money from it.
