Has anyone seen the businesses offered on ebay whereby you can make
your living by offering a service where you simply drill two holes?

Whilst I don't believe it for a minute, I'm curious as to what sort of
service is on offer.

My thoughts are either smoke alarms or gas detectors..has anyone any
idea?

No - can you post an ebay ref number (or two?)

Here's an expired one: 5665387743 but there have been loads on ebay
over the past year or so offered by various different people.

Just curious to find out what it's about but I'm too tight to waste
four quid!

Ok, I've just bought one.

What you get is an .exe. I haven't run it yet - I need to fire up the
non-networked crappy old test machine to run it on.

Will post back shortly.

Ok, all done. The exe seems fairly safe - a proprietary e-book format.
(I still wouldn't let it near one of the networked machines!)

The business? Supply and installation of carbon monoxide detectors.

It's a con! My CO detector is held up by THREE screws, not two!

Maybe that is the secret - 1 less screw per CO detector and you'll save
a fortune in fixings over the competition

Well, yes, of course - but what's wrong with that? I've bought a ton of
useless crap on ebay, this is quite literally a drop in the ocean...

Did you leave feedback saying 'I'll be drilling two holes and installing
carbon monoxide detectors in no time!' ;-)

That's Duplanning, is it not? 1/3 less people offer that. There must be
a fantastic market waiting to be cracked.

Not many.

People want trepanners like they want a hole in the head.
