Should be fine as long as you do it to people in your neighborhood or whatever. if you start providing hundreads of computers a month then i think you will have to get a license.
but remember people can get really mad if you screw stuff up and sue you so...
Good for you. Go for it!
I would even suggest you take some courses about entrepreneurship and business.
You may even find support programs to start your business. Ask at school.
my school is too poor
lol
it is me and a bunch of friends who do this
there are now 7 of us here in stockton california(where i live)
i am the group "leader" syk0bunnie
the money made is our "insurance" of sorts
we buy cheap as in inexpensive but good and new quality computer parts
the only thing we suck at choosing is a monitor, we usually use thrift monitors tho becaue they are so heavy and dont wanna receive them in the mail.
a business hmm.... good idea
computers are the future
this is messed up but here is a "contract" i made
keep in mind english is not my subject and it is not worded right

could i charge sales tax? in cali here i thinkits 7.75%
You can charge sales tax but it would be illegal for you to keep that money lol.
your document needs a lot of rewording too. take out that the parts are ordered online and ither stuff that may make the customer think you're just a bunch of stupid kids.
ok thanks for the tips
any more???
im trying to make it perfect
OMG!!! u make 200$ each computer????
i built 2 computers this summer and only made $75CDN Each computer :o :(
anyways good luck...btw where do u get ur parts from? are they wholesale prices?
To charge tax, you must have a license to charge tax. You do not keep this money, it is handed over to your local tax office.
1 other thing, I did a little bit of sales as a career for 2 years, and as a law there is a 3 day cancellation period on any "sales contract". I live in Michigan and that is the law here; I don't know what the laws may be in California.
I would just look into the finer details of that contract with someone whos in the know, and tune it up at that point.
Only a suggestion, but like the others are saying: just cover your a$$.
Sounds like you have a good deal going on there, Keep it up man.
One other thought, to make then think twice about canceling you can add things like restocking fees, cancellation fees, yada yada.
Where in Michigan do u live? I live in Michigan too. :)Quote:
