@ everyone else:
ok, so can you guys tell me how goes this for creativeness? feel free to give me your input, and try it out if you so choose.

As far as I know, nobody's in this market with this kind of business plan. Kind of unique, and stands out, which is good from an advertising standpoint. Its not too cheap to be "too good to be true" but not so expensive so that people will be willing to give it a shot. when it works out for them, they will brag to their friends how they fixed the problem themselves for $3 instead of having someone come out on site to fix it for hundreds of dollars. Then, the next time they think they know what they are doing, but aren't 100% sure, they'd gladly pay a mere $3 to make sure, instead of risking it.

tell me what you think!
Definately worth a try. No start up cost and minimal overhead.

Linc does your friend come to the southshore? We have put out a sleeper couch, a barbecue grill, patio umbrella, iron bench and a TV all of which disappeared before the trash men came.
