Refurbishing/fixing knackered appliances
Discussion
It occured to me while browsing Facebook and the like at how quickly a cheap second hand washing machine or dyson sells. These are often mega expensive when new and when something simple goes wrong, or they get old, they're just chucked away.
If you could source some broken or old examples, clean them up, sort any problems fairly easily with a couple of cheap parts I think it could be reasonably easy to turn them around quickly.
1 free knackered washing machine with broken seal + new seal @ £7, an hour to fix and clean, sell for £50.
Buy knackered dyson for £20, change filter, clean, replace broken belt, sell for £60.
Just examples but you get the idea, the same could apply to all sorts of simple to fix things, lawnmowers etc.
Done well, do you think this could be a nice little business? Obviously not groundbreaking but as a self employed alternative to the daily grind I think it could be quite nice.
