Core charges: You buy an alternator, starter, power steering pump etc there is almost always a $30 core charge. BUT, if you don’t buy one from napa or advance etc, and get one online you then have a bad part that is worth a perspective $30. My idea would be to buy these, and rebuild them, and then sell them. I thought of this last night while changing my power steering pump. Changed it out because it was leaking, which is just from a bad bearing that probably cost 5-10 bucks, so just replace that and sell it for $100. They are proabbly a way better idea that can come from core charges… ---

You can prolly make money if you have very little to no overhead (such as running it out of your garage for rebuilding then selling online), but I don’t think it’d be worth it for a store front most of the time. ---

i don’t think it’d be worth it at all lol. but there is just a lot of people who buy a part used on-line, and then they either toss the bad part in their scrap pile or in the garbage, seems like there should be a way to make a buck off that somehow ---

I can show you a few that I’ve done so far, nothing big, but my next one may be a bit more ambitious, and is automotive related. ---

Went to school for it, never really had a machining job. I miss it sometimes. Jetski racing is a lot of fun and there is a lot of money being thrown around even if it’s from a relatively small market. Would also make motorcycle parts, some miata parts etc. Would be part time. I’m looking at buying a farm to add to the land me and my family already work so if that happened I’d just include the machine costs into the loan I could get through farm services. > **[Log in or sign up to view](https://www.facebook.com/EsisPowersportsDungeon)** > > See posts, photos and more on Facebook. ---
