$25k!!!!!! Is she on drugs? Don't you think that's a tad bit high?

This does look like a great business opportunity though.....you could really do some damage on weekends in some high summer public places and not have to work during the week!!!!

Also, I wonder how they power the freezers and such? Generators?

Love it.....I think I'd rock this thing in a second if it were $15k (could recover my money in less than a year!) and run the business in my early retirement years.

You should email her an offer of 15K. The worst she could do is say no and call you names .

A couple weeks ago I was at the gas station and got to talking to an old man filling up his icecream truck. I hadn't seen a true icecream in a while, so I asked him what his schedule was like. He said mainly Friday-Sunday and sometimes he'd hit an area with big events going on, and actual serving hours vary. He also said he only works late spring to early fall...so 4-5 months. He says locations he likes hitting are sports complexes during tournament weekends, he likes setting up at the lake(s) parking lots from noon until 8ishpm. So to me it sounded like he works 20-30 hours a week for 4-5 months. Then I told him I didn't want to pry, but was curious what kind of living he could make. He said that after all the up front costs to be legit (fees, taxes, licenses, permits, etc...)he pockets 25k a truck...and he has 3 trucks.

I like the Mr Softy , but they're not around here anymore.

$25,000. That's because her assets have been frozen! Did I hear a groan?

I can truly see the profit potential for a part time gig like this.....only problem is timing. I work too many hours as it is with my practice! Man I want to do this! I might offer her 10k less and store it, but she will surely call me names!!!

Ken , I think you waited to long, you should have jumped on it when you had the chance.

It got so hot today , it MELTED
