    I'm a Polish guy living in Germany, watching a Polish guy living in US talking to other Polish guys about cables and cats in a trading post in Polish. Had to rewind to check if my mind is in the right place

    Hey Pete!!
    Great idea with the Taco truck. I immediately noticed you should get a couple of picnic tables out along that strip of grass for the customers to sit and eat. Make sure to get some safety chain and lock them to the pole or anchor them to the ground somehow.
    Definitely would get even more people if they can sit and enjoy the weather.

    9:40 Gotta love that idea such a generous offer too, it's nice to see humble and hard working people get a chance to expand their small business, just by having you promote it on your videos is a big plus! Over here in Mexico there's a few stacked (spread around car park like area) food trucks and at night we have music groups, mariachi's etc. It's a really nice vibe which attracts even more people, the only difference is that there's a lot of different food stands sharing customers since one's sell sweet stuff, other's sell coffee, some tacos, some hamburgers.

    Its great that you are giving another small buisness an oppotunity to grow. Our little town had a small family run restaurant that suffered a fire that closed the place. Within a year another small store gave them a space to re open. Even though we are in Hawaii and its a Japanese run store, the Mexican restaurant is thriving and the store itself has gained popularity.
    I think you both can benefit by this buisness arrangement.

    Wow! Those Cypress Garden Ski's date back to the late 60's early 70's. They were the 1st set of ski's I purchased as a teenager, at a Jefferson's Dept. Store in Ft. Lauderdale FL. They are perfect for the beginner skier, although due their age the binders may tear when you attempt to get them on/off your feet. Pretty nostalgic...had some great times on those things!

    I had the first food truck registered in my county in Georgia and I had a auto parts store setup the same deal you made with the taco truck. But our county did not realize the potential and made it so difficult and they ran me out of business. This really helps this man and his business so good on you man.

    I think the food truck is a smart idea. Not only do you help the food truck owner, you help your employees and customers. It's an all around good idea. I don't know how big your parking lot is, but you could hold a food truck event here and there. Maybe once a month in the summer. Advertise it on your social media.
    A lot of places around me do that. Always does well for business.

    Depending on the Model of dreamcast, some are way more desirable than others. Reason being that the earlier models can read burned ISOs. Those tend to go for quite a bit more money than the later models. Something to pay attention to when other dreamcasts arrive at your shop.

I learned to ski then learned to Slalom on some just like them. New stuff is definitely easier and less bumpy but most people wakeboard today and will never get the chance to experience wooden skis. I went on to competition skiing and then won a State championship in my 50's wakeboarding. Good times indeed. Good Luck.

    In regards to the offer thing. Do you have the auto offers enabled? You have to do that manually and i would think if you run your own eBay you would already know this. What this does is allows you to have ebay auto send an offer say 5 or 10% off (whatever you set) to people who have the item sitting in their cart. That is the only thing i can think it would be.
