    You go to pick up the CD from your friend’s place.

    “Hey the CD is not in it’s case”

    Your friend looks around their room, finds it on the carpeted floor next to their bed.

    “Oh here it is” … it’s got sauce on it and he cleans it off by wiping it on their jeans … “here, thanks man”

      he cleans it off by wiping it on their jeans

      In a circular motion even though you explained the center out is the better option.

          I had no idea something like this existed but it is something that I would have been into.

            They were great for light scratches and buffing out blemishes, it came with this solution spray and the wheel was basically just a buffer pad that wiped center out while rotating the disc. But anything beyond a light scratch was pretty much DOA.

              How much were you charging? How did you advertise? Word of mouth?

              I’m just curious. I sold warheads in elementary school. For a quarter a piece at first then down to nickels and dimes as people ran out of quarters. I think I just wanted to see how much I could sell by making different deals. As an adult I hate haggling though.

                $4-5/each, and yeah word of mouth. I pretty much did it for weed money, so I wasn’t really too crazy about getting that much business.

                  That’s a good profit margin. By the time I was trying to get extra weed money, I was “extracting shareholder value” when I was working at Wendy’s. There was more opportunity working the drive thru.
