But I think everyone in this thread is right, its the end user market that will ultimately keep a seller alive. Just in the last 2 days, I've learned enough in this forum to warrant a huge turnaround in my approach to this whole market. I've been at it about a year &1/2. My pitfalls were costly, but valuable. I got to the point that it pays for itself, but doesn't pay the bills.
My regular gig is in the tank too, I own a small landscaping company and that's hurting right now. I'm downsizing, selling equipment and restructuring that biz also. The markets are all brutal right now. I think if people would just turn of the f*ckin TV, things might turn around quicker.
