Flipping chainsaws as a 15 year old

[Steven P]

I think from reading this that flipping the saws for now is a good idea, a hobby till you finish education, puts a few ££ in the bank,. and some knowledge in your head but with no customers ringing up at 8:30 in the morning demanding their saws back for their urgent job tomorrow. if it is something you like I would put some of the profit away to buy a stock of 'spares' as you see the deals come up - might be a 'sales or repair' that was run over by a truck has a decent carb, blade and chain and some intact plastic bits... which will let you make a better profit on the next job. A bits box is a great thig.

 

Then after education if you want to do this to make money repairing other peoples machines then go for it - sounds like threads on here are a god market for you. You'll have the knowledge and experience to turn a repair around quickly, and with luck with your flipping have a stock of bits that you might struggle to get otherwise.

 

Finally - good luck and nothing to loose by going for it
