My boss is honest to a fault. We only charge $49.95 for a service where I work. And that generally includes everything but parts. I generally service my neighbors' machines for free -- we're like family.

The last two "paying" jobs I did, I got:

$50.00 cash for the Singer 327, that covered parts and labor. That one didn't need much at all.
$22.00 cash for parts and 4 machines (a Morse 15 clone, Brother 920D serger, Singer 237 and 347) in trade for my labor, for the FW I worked over. That one was abused by someone and needed lots of time to fix.

$50.00 went to the bank, and $20.00 went to parts for the two Singers. The blue 347 will be flipped although it's turning out to be a nice machine. All metal inside. And the 237 is going into a treadle cabinet for an experiment. It too is all metal inside with plastic outside panels.

So I figure I did make a profit even though I'm still cash challenged.

Hmmm, I'm not sure I'm doing it right.

LOL! I think we are all doomed to be cash challenged! The 50.00 went to buy pizza for the family. Hubby said I should save it for sewing machine stuff, but I had to ask him, "do you think I don't spend "your" money on sewing machine stuff? Never will understand the "your money" "my money" thing. It's our money. *But they are MY sewing machines ahahahahaha!
