Local Computer Business

I am sure at least a dozen people that read this board night and day have had or currently own a computer repair business-

Of course it sounds silly to me, but I just talked to a guy on the phone that " did $500k in sales last year " and " turned away 2/3 of clients because there are so many "

Thoughts?

My thoughts:

Open such a biz - sell computers, repairs, and upgrades- and continue my internet work in the office while some kids do the dirty work, and I oversee it-

I am sure there is much more involved - but storefront on 'main street' from a friend = about $400 a month, and I do believe it is 2100 sq ft.

This town is growing like hell, [fastest growing county in the US] so perhaps its really worthwhile. I turned the idea down two years ago when my parents suggested it, that is exactly how long this guy has been in business, and I told him " oh, damn, guess I missed the boat? " him: " Nah, there will always be room- computers are just getting more common, and thus more are breaking down ".
