Ive done it in scotland as a sorta neighbourhood thing in scotland (im under 16) but now i gotta job wi a larger company (i still got high school for 2 years tehe lol).
I did a lot of servicing stuff and repair on computers b4 though and you'll be surprised how effective word of mouth is esspecially when ur compition prices are so high and with no overhead and get paid in *cough* cash *cough* where you dont need to worry how much money you have to role in ! theres alot money to be made!!

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.

Haha, or not.

At your age m8 theres a lot worse you could be doing, if my kids only fault was nipping the tax man for a few quid that would make me so proud

yea, you sound like you got a pretty good thing going. I considered it, but it seems all i ever get are repairs (like the 6 computers sitting here on my floor). I dont charge them cuz they are all friends and such. I am a mechanic, and i do the same for their cars. although i do get beer out of it sometimes.

[DDRFREAK1030]

i did that for a while but then some of my friends me so i stole from them and mess up some shit on their comps

Repairs are good way of making money too but keep in miond howw much time you put into it so you should have charged them. my friend chrged meeh when i didnt know shit bout computers(last year ^_^) i learned fast but still its the idea. i had to do like 23 repairs on wednesday last week also. i made $230 because it took up my whole day(i didnt even do my homework) \
takes u ptoomuch time

[peat moss]

I think I advised about that problem in an early post .

Good luck ,great idea. Mabye a word of advice, stick to new computer sales.Don't get trapped in to the service and repair end of the business. Unless it's for warranty purposes. You'll end up spending hours trying to figure out why that Computer won't boot .

Edit: Please don't be put off by my comments ! But you have school work and a social life too! You have to juggle it all. What your doing is great, keeps one out of trouble and you make new friends . Young and old!
