Not my business, but one I just bought from that I thought I would share:
If you go on Craigslist in my city and search for used appliances, almost all you find is one repeated ad for used/refurbished washer& dryer sets and fridges. I go down to this place, buy a nice clean set for dirt cheap, and the owner is on the phone negotiating with someone to BUY the set they have listed on Craigslist. From what I can understand of Spanish here's what he's doing:
This guy removed a huge pain point for the price of some cheap warehouse space and having his wife sit there posting ads all day while her kids go bonkers in the lobby.
Just thought I would share. It's easy to get distracted from focusing on removing simple but real pain points in people's lives. This dude provides a lot of value to a lot of people with a simple idea and relentless execution.

From what I can understand of Spanish here's what he's doing:
- Call everyone that lists their appliances on Craigslist, give them a lowball offer, but offer to pick up and pay same day
- Clean up said appliance and re-list on Craigslist offering 90 day warranty and same day delivery and installation.
