It is amazing how well a stand alone car wash will do.  They built one in my town a couple of years ago.  All it is is a vaccum and 2 automatic wash stalls.  I am like "man...that is stupid, that will never take off".  Boy was I wrong.  After they opened there were lines of cars waiting...it is still like that at $7-$9 per wash.  There was only 1 full service car wash and 1 DIY car wash in town before this one.

Now the guys that built the stand alone sold it to the full service and there is currently another large car wash being built in our town.

...eveyone loves a clean car

I guarantee the guy invested right at $500,000 in that enterprise NOT COUNTING the land. I am in the car wash equipment industry and I can tell you that there are a LOT of car washes that are going to be coming up for sale / foreclosed on in the next two years. IF you have disposable cash and can wait until the market recovers from the oil thieves you can put yourself in a VERY good position, but it's gonna take about 5 years.
 
Hmm I have about 10 years of marine aquariums... If you are going to do service work, there are a lot of offices that have fresh water and marine tanks that they do not clean themselves... rates are about $45 an hour here in Indiana.

Would have to learn a bit about marine tanks and fresh water tanks but it is pretty neat work... I have thought about doing this myself but it takes a good year or so to build your clientèle as with any new business
 
This is a cool thread. Craigslist under "business" has some great offerings. I was interested in a tanning salon about 1 hr from here thats for sale, so I went and met with the owner. She was very knowledgable and had a 1st rate shop. Problem was the numbers didnt add up for a good deal. After all expenses the profit margin was about $30K per year but that wasnt including her wages, she was there 8-12 hrs per day 7 days a week, thats not even minimum wage! oh well I guess I wasnt ment to watch tan cuties bounce in and out of my salon all day.

Was offered a similar opportunity about 14 years ago (before the huge explosion) and opted out for the same reason. Not enough money for the time invested. Maybe I was just greedy for the wrong thing!

Man, these are some killer ideas! The glass repair thing sounds real good, and Kento's idea is cool! Well, actually all of these are good.
