The last two "paying" jobs I did, I got:
$50.00 cash for the Singer 327, that covered parts and labor. That one didn't need much at all.
$22.00 cash for parts and 4 machines (a Morse 15 clone, Brother 920D serger, Singer 237 and 347) in trade for my labor, for the FW I worked over. That one was abused by someone and needed lots of time to fix.
$50.00 went to the bank, and $20.00 went to parts for the two Singers. The blue 347 will be flipped although it's turning out to be a nice machine. All metal inside. And the 237 is going into a treadle cabinet for an experiment. It too is all metal inside with plastic outside panels.
So I figure I did make a profit even though I'm still cash challenged.
Hmmm, I'm not sure I'm doing it right.
