My profit margin on push mowers run between $50 to $150 each. About $200 on the ridings. And about $40 for the generators, saws, stringers, etc.

A lot of my customers are the transient type, so yes, plenty of repeat. Also a lot of referal type business. Believe it or not, most people change their furniture every 5-7 years. (these are also the people that buy a new car every 4 years, so dont be surprised if you dont understand)
The business that you have in my opinion, is ideal: You have little/ no overhead, and you can do it in your spare time, or when you feel like it.
Me, I have lights, gas, ins, fuel, labor etc etc.
