I support this as it's a BIG part of what I do.

With that said, looking for handouts seems kinda cheesy. I buy a TON of broken/damaged consoles to refurbish. You can get something like this started with very little investment capital looking for large lots and such on eBay/Craigslist/etc.

I'm looking forward to seeing some of your FAQs/How-Tos. I do some as well on my blog (though I'm like 2 months late on my promised twice a month FAQ). You can't ever have too much helpful info and tricks for this sort of stuff
