Oddly enough the Mrs is against that idea!

I used to repair cameras and phones etc if a screen had broke or part wasn't working, but these sort of electronics have dropped in value and the margin isn't really there when a replacement part can cost £10-£15
I'm handy on a PC, my brother in law occasionally gets me to do work on spread sheets, basic data entry/info gathering stuff for his construction firm, but this is very infrequent work.
I'm good at mechanics but have done it for years and don't have an interest in it any more.

I'm attracted to buying a raw material, processing it and selling it at a higher value.

I've repaired the odd dyson too. As well as GHDs, come to think of it, I think there is a broken pair of the Mrs's lying nf around somewhere. Il dig these out and take a look.

A dyson is too big and bulky for me, don't really have the space to strip then down.
