Cash In A Flash - Gas Engine Repair


The morning chill bit through Drake Schnatter's worn jacket as
he cruised up the aisles of the weekly flea market. Schnatter's
eye scanned the vendor's wares until he found what he was
looking for - a neglected, dirty lawn mower with a three
horsepower engine. He bought the mower for five dollars and
carried it away (the wheels were missing). One week later he
sold the mower with fresh paint, new wheels, and an engine
tune-up for $175. (Normally the price would have been $200, but
Schnatter took $25 off because the customer brought in his old
mower for trade-in.) Now he had an old snapper mower to work on
and $175 in cash. Not bad for a five dollar investment.

In an attempt to spam his web page, the OP overstated the prices. For $200
you can get a decent brand new mower. The repairing of old gas engines
though, has been a hobby and source of income for many for as long as I can
remember. The mowers, though sell for less than $100 in most cases.
