Those are the ones you dump. I changed a CRT in a Toshiba Rear Projection this week (45") made $165 on it. Could have gone Ice Fishing, but that $165 will come in handy at the end of the month. I would rather work "cheap" then not work at all. When you are self-employed, you do not have the option to collect Unemployment Insurance. As I said...I wouldn't take on ASC's today, but I kept the one that treats me respectfully and is willing to pay a fair price for my effort. -Ed- Ed Gaidies Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada Servicing the Consumer Electronic Industry since 1963 teltek3@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Electric Medic Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2004 1:00 PM To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Hitachi DVD/VCR Being a ASC fills in for the slow times. How? It would be like taking in a job knowing you are going to lose money. It doesn't fill in for slow times, it is like doing free work in my opinion. Time you factor in parts ordering, learning curve, claims processing, rejections, service lit. subscriptions, no training, and 1/4 COD rates, you are losing money. You might as well work on nothing.
