<BR>very
<BR>difficult for me to accept as a buyer. Unless a guarantee comes with it,
<BR>it's
<BR>just too risky, and I could end up working for nothing.</BLOCKQUOTE>

<BR>Don't forgot, over three years, this comes to a little less than $70 per
<BR>week, or one new tuning customer. Maybe the third year you won't be getting
<BR>one new customer a week any more, but that makes up for the 5 - 10 new
<BR>customer per week you would get the first year. And also don't forget, not to
<BR>brag, but I am considered one of the most successful piano tuners in St.
<BR>Louis. A less known and qualified tuner, in a smaller town, probably would
<BR>not get that much for his business.
