geeksquad blow dick. all they do for you is just give you a quick scan. all these companies want to do is get paid high for the little service possible as defrag, virus scan, minor clean up and done. nobody actually reformats your entire pc to brand new, installs all your necessary components, gives you full updates, disables all unneeded startups.

words can't even describe what my type of "reformat" service is. just give me a try. i promise you, you won't be disappointed. and you get free software office 2003, nero 7, pshop if you need, whatever else you need if i got or can get its free.

actually ill do it for $110. paypal only so the paypal fees i will still have $105 left after fees etc. yes, you pay for shipping costs. to me and back. shipping with usps priority mail here and back with delivery confirmation on both will not cost you more then $30 max. but you will not regret sending your laptop to me. trust me on that one.

[SE3P_to_E90]

shouldn't you target your local customer base first?

i mean, i'd be pretty dumb to just send a complete stranger my laptop...?

You may want to even give the first several customers free service or a better deal. Word of mouth is worth it...


I do agree with you on the Geek Squad thing. I used to be on the Fire Dog team at Circuit City several years back...way before we got the official name. Half of the jobs if not more were so half assed.

[Brunotheboxer]

Just some friendly advice about anti-virus. AVG is free and does as good if not better job than F-Secure.

Also, how do you come by Office/Photshop/etc. I hope that for the sake of your clients you aren't using pirated software

[DasBlitz]

Just stick with ebay dude. No one, well maybe a few there are always those few. Will send you their laptop without a site or knowing some background.

If you need a site for cheap let me know I'll hook you up. Might help you sell things easier.

Also how much do you make off ebay if you dont have to get a job for now?

[noktekniq]

hmm are the programs you installing to others computer legit or bootlegged. u must be rich to give away free progs like that

[hl0m4n]

what is avg? never heard them before. are they new?

[hl0m4n]

i was planning to make a small website for my ebay listings but hell why do that when im doing just fine with a ebay store alone? i tried expanding to yahoo auctions and overstock but as you know yahoo auctions retired and i got nowhere with overstock. just too lazy i guess to make the small site possible.

i do local reformats here i guess if that is what you call it. friends, relatives, teachers, etc.

i am not looking to reformat laptops as a full time thing. just want to help a few members here if they need it. maybe in the future i will start listing ebay auctions for lap top reformats but that will depend on how busy college is.

[hl0m4n]

hm i guess i never thought of the software that way. didn't think much people would car knowing you guys never downloaded anything . i guess i gotta take that off

[hl0m4n]

looking at AVG website looks like you have to pay. are you speaking of their free trial? http://www.grisoft.com/

Again, I was speaking about local owners. That's why I put the "+1"..I know I wouldn't send my $1,500+ laptop to a stranger..that's why I said he should start with local ones...

[Spool]

All this stuff you mention like winrar, nero, pshop..


all of that can be downloaded, Windows XP can be downloaded from bittorent sites...


you might wanna mention that reversing from Vista to XP is hard to do since you have to wipe out all of the data on HD and start over. Since you can't just stick an XP disk in there and boot from disk.

that's ur selling point, i hate Vista, and wanted to run XP but i got lazy and just got used to Vista.

if you were local i'd give ya a try, but i can't trust my Vaio in the mail.

Nope, been around a really long time. We almost replaced Trend with them, but Trend took us out and got us drunk and made us sign another contract.

They have a free and a pay product. Pay is for enterprise management type of stuff and support.
