Default Gauging Interest, feedback requested!

Would anyone be interested in having their taillight center section polished for Firebird/Trans Ams? I always hated the way mine looked. It was dull and the Firebird emblem had long faded out. Polishing it made it look new and really cleaned up the rear of the car. What would you pay for something like this? Would you rather send your center section to me, or pay a core charge for one to be shipped the same day? I'm just trying to figure out if offering this service would be worthwhile, any feedback is appreciated!

It's been done, ..., Many times over, ..., Check my feedback, ...
Not to say you couldn't do it, ..., But it's getting so popular now, that a lot of people have already done it.
There's just no market in it anymore. Or very little.
I used to buy & sell the center sections all the time. Couldn't hardly keep them in stock. I had done it for a couple years now.
These days, it's hard to sell one a month anymore, so I quit doing it.
Good luck, ...

Thanks for the advice! I'm not looking to break the bank, or quit my job. Just a fun side project to pass the time.
