1) I needed a part replaced for my beater car. Auto shops wanted anywhere from $250 to $500. I had a certified mechanic do it for $40 and $20 in parts. Bonus: He came to me and worked in my driveway, saving me hours of waiting and drop off/pick up time.
2) on multiple occasions I needed something moved locally. Cheapest DIY truck rental would've been around $50, not to mention hauling the stuff up and down stairs and into/off the truck. I paid $25 without lifting a finger.
3) furniture store wanted $80 for delivery of a mattress, to be delivered a few days later, on their schedule while I waited at home. I paid half that and had it delivered the same night, exactly when I wanted it.
My secret?
Craigslist, specifically gig posts. These cost $5, but everytime I've used it, I get text messages from many qualified people ready and willing to do the work at my quoted rates and terms. Plus, I ow have a rolodex to draw from for future work.
In business, I've been on both ends of the deal, like paying almost $2000 for a few hours worth of work, to finding others to do it for less than half, all depending on urgency.
Any enterprising individual can start a gig related service and be a middleman for folks, whether biz or consumer related.
