erbilabuc Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 just polishing? I think will put you in the hole because the parts you see on ebay are actual parts. The service is not being offered. Now if you were to also do powdercoating and anadyzing that would get you some more business. My suggestion is buy a lot of simple parts froma Banshee; PC or polish them and then sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldnt understand it, oh and the guy set the buy it now for 90$ because he was just starting out on ebay and wanted to get the word out.

evil Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 you could make a killing off of polishing, if you have all the means and the tools to do it you could come up. try getting a few things and do it up, post pics on here, mabey with some prices. that would at least be a start as to where you stand.

BansheeBrian Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Even some silencers could use a good polished job.They are first brushed aluminum. It took me 1.5 hours to get my PC sparkys to a decent shine. I hope it works out for you.Good idea from erbilabuc,buy stock parts give em' a good shine and sell.
