Well said. I'd also like to add always carry business cards with you. Fed-Ex does them for a good price. I also buy adhesive card magnets so they (hopefully) get put on a refrigerator and not thrown in a drawer and forgotten about. Hand them out to everyone you meet and keep an eye out for appliances and whatnot next to peoples house and put a card on their door as well. It's well worth the effort and price of cards. Also you can make money on televisions whether or not you bother taking them apart. A lot of towns wont take them in the trash so I made up flyers at different price points (depending on distance and size of tv tube, projection etc offering curbside television removal. Whenever I see one at the curb I put a flyer on their door. Prices range from 20 - 40 dollars. This of course is only viable if you're near a best buy (up to 32" tv
) or your local public works department takes them as a drop off service. Fortunately I have access to both. I'm never disappointed making 25 dollars for less than an hour work picking up and dropping of a tube tv at BB.
