    The other option is to open a laundromat..... Fix and sell from there.

    You'd be the first call with tourists and new arrivals and people who's washing MC/drier just broke down.
    Even if they cannot afford to buy one yet, you can make a provisional sale and still get paid for the wash/dry service as they need it all done NOW!
    You get to test your machines with a 'real life' useage, they can see that they run and more of your time is productive.

    Just a idea, laundromats make good ca$h money, but you spend a bit of time fixing machines.. So get paid twice for the same job.

    Should he decide to set up a laundromat it would be a good idea to have a few machines set aside for horse and dog blankets.

    Years ago speed queen used to be the preferred washing machine, the agitator was recessed into the tub, coins going under were not easily retrieved.
