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.

If you have any knowledge about small gas engines (or are
willing to learn) you could turn that interest into extra
income. Schnatter started at age twenty and now invests the
profits from his "hobby" in real estate. His secret is simple -
find small gas engines, buy them cheap, and resell them at a
profit.

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.

They go for about fifty bucks here in the spring, when they look good and
start on the first pull.

Jon-

The price of mowers (push or riders) depends a great deal on the name.
Honda and John Deere seems to be two of the biggest and bring the most
in re-sale. Getting $200 out of a push mower isn't that far fetched if
it is a Honda with all the goodies and in great shape.

Some people only buy Honda's or John Deere's. It is just my opinion,
but I think all the engines out there today are just as good as the
Honda's and Kawasaki's (used by Deere and others).

I ocaasionally buy Riders and other mowers, trimmers, blowers and etc.
if i think I can make a few bucks.

If I go to that site, do you promise it's not merely a come-on for a course
in how to buy forclosed houses for $10 and sell them for $200,000?

But, come to think of it, I have never ever known any rich repairmen. Some
went on to own dealerships, and all the headaches and heartaches that
entails, but I have never known just a repairman who was rich.

But, yeah, a decent mechanic (or welder) can always make a buck, especially
in this market where people are repairing things instead of tossing or
getting a new one.

used mowers sell in the 50 buck to 75 buck range.

I repair office machines for a living.

Always busy but never got rich

Been doing this since 1975 ........ 1984 bought out what was left of
my old employeer.

you dont get rich.........

What idiot pays $175 for a 3 HP walk behind mower? When I
used to fix mowers for a second hand shop, they brought in
between $30 and $50 for 3 HP walk behinds. With no power
drive. New ones about $100 at Walmart.

I acquired an old Simplicity rider. The engine was out of it and had a
broken rod. Thinking someone could use it for parts, I put it on eBay
with a starting bid of $.99 with a "must pick up" listing. Some guy
drove 6hours from upper Michigan to come and get it after he won the
bid with a $150. I would have never guessed that would happen. I had
to ask him what he was going to do with it and he said he would stick
another motor in it and enter it in a lawn tractor demolison derby. He
said it is hard to find old riders that have the frame that one had. I
guess they are bored up there.

So, weird things do happen.

That's my kind of success story. I've got assortment of
failure stories. My Dad's Coleman 5,000 watt generator
wouldn't start, during one power cut. A "helpful" snerk
neighbor screwed the spark plug out and give it a big squirt
of ether. Washed the oil off the piston walls, and locked up
the motor. Managed to get the piston freed, and then it ran
for a half second, and threw a rod. I sold the generator,
which cost $500 new, on Ebay, and got $75. If he'd sprayed
ether on the air filter, it woulda likely started the
engine right up, and ran fine. Dad would still be using it,
today.

I've never made any useful money on Ebay. Spent a lot, of
course.
