How MyLot helped me make $120.50 in one day Tuesday!

I sent a pair of ADS 710 loudspeakers home with their owner on Tuesday. It took me several weeks to restore them but most of that time was just drying time for my magical solutions for the speakers. The owner was happy and paid me in cash. Today, I will renew my Craigslist "speaker refinishing" ad. I love making loudspeakers from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s look beautiful.

You are so good at it. How nice to have a job that you love so much. No wait, you have three jobs that you enjoy. Lucky you!

Yep, I am lucky never to have to really "work."

@TheHorse I stop doing things when I do not enjoy anymore.

It really is. I hope music keeps being fun. It was getting to be a burden because I had to plan my schedule (including vacations) around gigs. And because of the Divas I'm mentioned in previous posts. But I still enjoy it.

MyLot did not actually help me sell them. It was a restoration for a "customer."

@TheHorse that makes makes a lot of senses. My husbands uncle loves speakers but I think he is in to new ones.

@ShyBear88 I like the older ones in part because they're more likely to have real wood veneer on them.

These "older" speakers sound really good and are under-priced.

I have. In fact, that's one of the things that Horse Jr. and I like doing together. But I "specialize" in old speakers.

You brought the old speakers back to life, so, you saved a lot of money to the owner, he didn't need to buy new speakers. How did mylot help you with that ? Is the owner a mylot member ?

MyLot was responsible for the extra $0000.5000 I made that day. I only charged the owner of the speakers $00120.0000.

And these really do look beautiful. I'm sure the owner is thrilled with his 'new-look' speakers.

He seemed pretty happy when he saw them. I'm hoping to get a receiver cabinet and another pair of speakers in soon.

The speakers are really good. They look nice too. I have five speakers and one woofer.

Sounds good. A dedicated "subwoofer" really helps fill out the music.
