We are not talking antiques or even Ferraris. We are talking about taking your wife to that reunion or anniversary dinner in a 1966 Ford Mustang (mine was pale blue), or 1956 Bel Air, or 1965 Chevy Impala, or 1967 Chevy Camaro. These are real SHOW-OFF automobiles that are expensive to obtain or maintain, but would be a great business expense for the collector who always wanted to restore these classic cars.
The senior market is the fastest growing market in the USA and with or without a good economy, you can’t help getting old. While most people think you need to be the field of health or insurance to serve elders, there are lots of opportunities. One firm is CARING TRANSITIONS who hires people to help older persons move from a house to an apartment. A realtor can sell a house, but what about downsizing, selling items in auctions, packing items, and helping people who may not have nearby family?

The key is to be located in the right place at the right time; you could operate out of a cart or car next to a park, near a beach entrance, or by a frozen pond, a ski-slope, a track. Think of stuff people would like to try, but might not own: snowboards, boggieboards, six-foot giant beach balls, mileage calculator, water bottle carriers, etc.. Visit logical sales spots and watch what activities people are doing or could do.

How many large business work places or construction sites are in your area that have no or only one luncheon place? Does the nearest food place serve salads or organic food or ethnic dishes (Asian, Mexican)? Does the complex allow delivery (at least in the parking lot)?
This is a business which requires giving people a web site, a great cell-phone, and a brochure showing the nearby restaurants you will serve and the fees for delivering food. Of course, you will work with those food places to get special prices. Some food places may have delivery service, but since you are recruiting new business and have no payroll costs, you will be received with acceptance by a lot of shops
If you sell on eBay, it is a good idea to consider animals as a good category of your eBay store. When I operated a store, I specialized in things tropical and a had dozens of customers who purchased everything with a flamingo on it or everything with an alligator. It seems there are a lot of animal collectors out there and most of them must not have access to wholesale catalogs.
Evaluate how many eBay stores specialize in a particular animal and check on the popularity of dog and cat breeds. If you have a section of your store or online sales with jewelry, T-shirts, and clothing for cocker spaniels – it is easy to locate blogs, web sites, and other spots where you could place Google Ads or get a link or free publicity.
