Hi Mark, and fellow techs. I just put FREE ESTIMATES back up on my outside sign,...and I don't want anybody to give me any sh*t about it. I've tried it BOTH ways, and I don't want to drive anymore of my customers to Wal-Mart any sooner then I have to. A FREE estimate is just THAT,...if they want a more precise diagnosis,...then they will still have to pay $1 per inch for the size of the screen. $20 for 19", $25 for 25-27", and $35 for 32-40". $50-100 for PTVs. I will also require the remote control to be brought in, to qualify for the FREE estimate. Cause I plan to repair, and sell them as used sets, and nobody wants to buy a used TV with out a remote control. I plan to sell them for 1/2 the price that Wal-Mart charges for a new one. After all, the junk they sell is not any better then a good used TV, that has been reconditioned properly. Of course,...that has to be part of my sales pitch. I will have to convence them of that. In cases where the set is obviously a junker, I won't even accept it to start with. I will give them an unreasonably high estimate, to discourage them from even leaving it at my facility. My plan is to get some of the BEST, repairable sets, before they junk them to buy new. I am certain that there are TOO many 25-35 inch sets, that are being junked, that could be fixed and sold at a profet. I am doing this because I am desperate. If I had many customers like the good ole days,...I would be more picky, but, things are getting scary around here. Dead, dead,...and more dead each day that passes. Hope things are better for you guys in your resective areas. You might say,...that I am making a final stab at it. Beat Wally World at their own game, and undercut them by 50%. HO, ho,.HA, ha, HE, he,..... ;-)
