Secrets just for you Rick, (and anyone else who reads this). If you guys have some time, here is a mission for you, but first, a link:
https://www.ebay.com/sch/63514/i.htm..._dmd=2&_sop=16 Probably should have shortened that, oh well. It is from today, a link to sold curtains and drapes. And these are not the high end stuff either. But, you'll see many items for several hundred dollars, not a truck needed to transport the heaviest of them. NOW, hop on Google, Bing, Facebook Marketplace too and do some searches for RETAILERS who sell Custom Made Window Treatments, Custom Made Drapes, Custom Made Curtains. Get your notes out. Also, search for ALTERATIONS, some Dry Cleaners offer this service. It was true 50 years ago, will be true in the future...most people do NOT hang sheets and blankets from their windows. Look at your window, and if your neighborhood is full of them that do, time to move friend. One of the first things people who MOVE, who have just bought a house, condo or even rent an apartment is, order their own window coverings and in the upscale areas, almost always CUSTOM MADE DRAPES. These are the areas you want to SHOP or Buy in. Buy over there, sell over here, right? Now if you guys can use a sewing machine and do alterations, you could really do well in this arena, because MOST guys won't do it. Add a good steam cleaner into it, offer alterations, and sell the custom made drapes you picked up over there, to here...and you could generate an income I'm sure would be better than the driving gig. It may take a little time, but if you are willing to research... USE YOUR MARKETING SKILLS... Then I promise, you'll thank me later (and maybe even return your endorsement check uncashed, eh?). Gordon PS. Take a hard look at NURSERY curtains, kids grow fast (something you know)...and in upscale neighborhoods, you can pick these up, flip em fast, and maybe even specialize in them. Kurtains for Kids Rooms. And don't forget businesses too, you will find they invest a lot of money, especially new owners or new management or just new businesses. ALSO, I like the flea market flippers family, my main criticism of them is, the whole storage thing. I know, circulation beats storage 360 days a year. Holding onto stuff, storing it or restoring it, eats away at time which could be used to make faster deals, but other than that, great info over there. Quote:
