Re: Not a bad idea?!

That post by Tau Commander got my gears going. Especially since I have a site, AND I plan on revamping it by January:

What if I added something like this to Painting Commission Site. Would you guys go for it?
I would still go with Paypal, but I think paying at least half upfront before the customer sends them, and requiring PICTURES of what is being sent for pre-approval. It would go a long way to helping me get rid of the stuff I have no plans for, AND I could snag the ones I want...LOL.
And the bits thing, BWBits was doing GREAT business, but the supply/demand was tedious and time consuming.
I\'d have to build up a huge base of either product or customers or both.
I think I would accept painted, as long as they weren\'t dipped in enamel, I can safely clean most stuff off. No Turpentine or any of the other crazy stuff you weirdos use, [size=-1](and I USED to use...hee hee)[/size].
What do you think? Should I?

There may be a market for it, however, it may not be a large enough one to supplement your income.

In other words, don\'t quit your day job

And if you get your hands on any Doom (from the video game) minis, I got dibs.

 

[JesterzUSMC]

Well, my commissions make-up about 1/3rd of my income, so ANY increase is a good thing...lol.
And if anyone out there wants to make requests, I could probably make a \'wish list\' fuction on my site as well.

Buy me a pony!

How\'s that for \"wishlist\"? lol

 

[lono]

I\'d like a bagel. Bagels are good.

 

[JesterzUSMC]

GAWD!!
I can\'t believe how much I enjoy reading here.
How did I ever function before I found you guys?!
Seriously, I start the morning with a cup of coffee, an egg sammiche, and a recap session to catch up what I missed while sleeping!
You guys are so much fun, that have YET another flood in the basement was almost a good thing!
Thanks for existing.:beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

I tell you what..you keep waiting for \"Your\" big payday and Ill take that million and be off with it..

 

[fieldarchy]

hey one million would be a decent amount to me. Not a ton but I could do enough with it.

 

[JesterzUSMC]

I made 2 million in a year, and it took me less than a year to spend it.
When I have an excess of cash, I get REALLY generous.
I\'ve learned to maintain just enough to pay the bills, and a little extra for when I want stuff. I don\'t think I\'m geared for being wealthy.

 

[wiccanpony]

While I wouldn’t turn down a Million, I really just want enough to pay the bills, make sure I stay in my own home as I get older and need more help . Also keep me in books, hobby stuff and computers.

I remember all those stories my parents told about growing up in the Great Depression.

 

[lono]

So where\'s my bagel? With peppered salami and Dijon mustard would be nice.

 

[fieldarchy]

now how did you make 2 million in one year Jester?

 

[Roger Bunting]

Counterfeiting?

 

[lono]

You know how he acted all innocent about not understanding what \'tricks\' meant? Well he was just a little too naive in his attitude I reckon. Manwhoring can be a very lucrative business if you are a workahollic!

 

[JesterzUSMC]

I started a security firm in Yucca Valley, Brached out to 29 Plams in 3 months and sold the whole thing to a competitor for $850k. Bought 26 houses, spent $145k fixing them up and sold for them for profit and came away with $2,103,574.48. (I had to look it up in my bank statements.)
No manwhoring he-bitch for me.

 

[Roger Bunting]

Did you use the 850k to buy all the houses? That would probably get you one house here in the UK, two if you\'re lucky.

 

[fieldarchy]

@Jester--go do it again and give me half. I\'ll be a consultant for you on remodeling the houses to justify me as an expense. Or you can just be my sugar daddy

@Roger--you\'ll hate to know then that the house I\'m building is only costing $130k, but my homestate of VA is very costly and if I wanted to buy my mom\'s house from her it would be $500k. But I got a deal in the Dallas area fo\' sheezy!
