What's a tuning business worth?

[David M. Porritt]

I agree with you Jon.  I was very fortunate when I became full-time at SMU I
had been helping a young man learn our trade.  As he developed his skills
and I stopped doing outside work I gave him my customer list.  Now, my phone
service voice mail system sends me email messages left on the system as .wav
files so I just forward them to him.  I don't have to call people and
recommend him, he just calls them and tells them he's taking care of my
customers.

I see no point to purchasing a db. If the retiring tuner has
any shred of customer service then they will refer their clients
to a qualified tuner. I certainly would be more concerned
that my clients were left in goods hands and not the highest bidder.

The clients will either accept his recommendation or go with
whomever their best friend/relative/co-worker uses.
