two things, you cant make $$$ where there isnt $$$, i moved to Vegas because the economy was good and wstarted making $$$, it was like I was on vacation getting paid, i dont gamble in casinos.
Second thing I have done in a couple places I lived, I would spend alot of time in the pool room and buy cues for $250 and sell it for say 325-$350 and then wait for another cue to come along, one time I had about 6 or 7 cues which is nothing compaired to the internet cue sales sites, but this was before the net, I had a reputation of selling good cues and not robbing people, they would refer their friends etc the D to C- players were my customers. I would buy a cue back for what they paid me if they traded up, I made reasonable $$$ doing that. After I built a good reputation people would come to me or wait til i had something. it started feeding on itself all 3 times I have done this in different citys,
my friend does great tip work, and makes nice $$$$, i just cant do tip work but if you can get a tackle box, tips, tools, and practice and get good and you'll awalys be busy if your good.
just a couple ideas for you, just trying to help, good luck with what ever you do, honesty is the ONLY policy. Unless your matching up in a one pocket game.
