Reply to "Think I Could Charge People For This?"

I found weathering to a be a specific liking according to peoples taste. Now if someone sends you an engine lets say for you to weather in which you charge a service for and they don't end up liking the job what happens now? For sure you are not going to be paid for the service and second do you now have to replace the unit? I never encountered that but always thought about it. So what I do is just buy engines, dummies , rolling stock etc specifically for weathering and list them on ebay with a ton of pictures and if someone likes them they'll buy it. I can tell you that 95% of the times the items do get sold but you do you need to take some steps to protect the weathering from handling and give a instruction of handling sheet included in the box.

You have a very good point and I agree on what you're saying.  Usually when I weather something for a friend I ask them dozens of questions of what they're looking for in their engine.  I make it a point to NEVER just jump in on something that's not mine without asking the owner first.  What I usually do when I do it for people is have them come in or I send pics every now and then to ask what they think, that way they are involved in every step of the process.
