How do you guarentee 2 inquiries per day on paper?? :p

[A+ Lawncare]

he says "Total equip value at 1727.57" where is he pulling these figures out of his arse?

anyways hes asking $4,999 (reserve not met), where is this guys reserve @ i wonder... $5k- $1700= $3,300 for accounts...

"Registered monthly accounts totaling $760 per month positive cash flow." $760/4 weeks= $190 a week...

$3,300/$760= 4.3 months cash flow.... i'de only give some1 6weeks worth of the income.... so that would be about $1,140 for his accounts... at the best this guy will see $2,500-$2,800 for the whole outfit...

he's asking twice the amount that this outfit is worth, and its a joke w/the mini van... i think what this guy needs to do is take the van down to the junk yard... and keep what equipment he will use as a homeowner for his own use.... and get about $700-900 for the van from the junk yard and say good bye to the customers and write it all off as a loss b/c he's a scrub and the amount he's taking in per month is probably from like 20 lawns....

no real LCO will buy this guy out, they'll only laugh @ him. and i appreciate the post of this ad, b/c it was a good quality joke.

Yeah but then again, they gotta pay the fee upfront and so long they pay, ebay gets paid.

Wanna hear another funny?
From time to time, I put my Web site up for sale for around 80 thousand dollars or so. Nobody ever bids, my fee is like 10 bucks but I get like 3000 clicks/month to my site for like 4-6 months :-)
After I did that 2-3 times, ebay.de never stopped sending me traffic so I haven't listed it since.

[LawnBrother]

I betcha some knucklehead will buy it! Wait and see...
And how do you "maintain" a Homelite blower and a couple of ryobi trimmers? Oh, that's right, you buy new ones every 2 months...

[Jon99]

Listed as a Seattle business, has his location listed as Hawaii....

I think a few of us should bid this up for kicks...

[PROCUT1]

[A+ Lawncare]

my bad i wasn't thinking... you guys are rite junk yards don't give much, maybe $50.... i don't know where i was pulling those figures, late @ nite all i have to say.

[mbricker]

Whoa, I think I am having a flash of inspiration!

There are people on here fairly often asking, "Should I buy this lawn service?" Do a search on posts by "Vanessa." And I have seen several instances locally where a small time lawn service was sold to some newby for a few bucks more than I would think it was worth. The usual rule here is "a month's revenue for the accounts and whatever the equipment is worth in its current condition." I know that varies from one part of the country to another. But even here I have heard of people paying 2 or 2 1/2 month's revenue.

So apparently there are people who want to be in the lawn business and who do not want to build it for themself. Well, I have already experienced that. I sold the bulk of my accounts and a Grasshopper early this year, so I could get a job that provides health insurance. So now, as some are aware, I do the lawn-thang part-time, have a whole 7 lawns and spend about 3 hours a week at it. Five are small lawns that could all be done with a 21".

But what if? I build my accounts to maybe 12 little lawns, and advertise "Lucrative part-time business. Half a day weekly grosses you $1500 a month. Established part-time lawn mowing business, all you need is a small pick-up, all necessary equipment included with accounts. Great expansion potential. " We all know a lot of people (who have never been in the business) think a couple of cans of gas a week is the only expense.

Think I would get a lot of calls?

[Texas Mowem]

Think I would get a lot of calls?


Maybe !.......

[MarcSmith]

Anyone else wonder why the location is honolulu HI, but the name of the service is Seattle?????

Its the special Dodge Caravan HD model.....Every single tool available at Home Depot or Lowes....:)

[QualityLawnCare4u]

He says the price includes a "work van". Since when is a Caravan a "work van"??????

This van looks great compared to the caravan I started my biz with the first year. I still cant hardly looks at the first year pics of my rig, makes me hurt!

[MarcSmith]

I wish I had pics of my(wifes) longbed s10(167K miles but no rust), trimmer rack, tool box and my 36" snapper hydro....

It was great starter rig and I ended up using the s10 as a dedicated Spray rig once the chem apps started rolling in...and I got the f150 to pull the trailer...
