New Opportunity

[QUOTE][First, you or an employee are going to have to be present at the store, even if no one is walking through the door. This is going to take away time from other activities. Another issue is the overhead. The rent, utilities and insurance still have to be paid, regardless of your sales volume.

When you have someone "manning the store" then when there is no customers you can be repairing units. You should have plenty to work on. Offer a $10.00 off discount for trading in their old unit towards a newer unit. Looks to me like a win-win..

More details to follow as soon as more details are worked out.

bullion I’ve been rooting for you, any updates or progress on that used appliance business.

Bullion- I would suggest posting an ad on facebook garage sale sites in your area. Every time I see someone post a washer/dryer/stove/etc for a reasonable price, it's sold within a day or so and its completely free advertising. Best of luck and keep us up to date.
