TAXMAN Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 I wonder if Eric would be interested in setting up a strickly buy sale trade of tax stuff for this site. But if you are like me use it till its shot and then becomes a boat anchor. Just thinking. Sometimes, at meetings I find all kinds of neat stuff just by talking with ther people. 1 more reason to attend. I would think Eric would be in line for some kind of contribution if he chose to set this up. Notice I didn't say a fee. This brings in all kinds of bugs. Quote
Guest Taxed Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 I don't think I ever purchased a "tax stuff" for my shop second hand. I am still using 10 year old office furniture that I purchased new. My computer and printers were all purchased new and like you I will use it till they die a natural death or become unusable with the software. As far as tax books, research materials etc. they are all dated so I doubt there is a secondary market. Quote
GeneInAlabama Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 I do not believe there is enough reason to start a new forum for buy and sell. Such posts could be posted in the general chat section. If we get too many forums, it could be quite cumbersome. Quote
JohnH Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 I have a few clients I'd like to sell. Let me know if you're interested and I'll tell you how much I'm willing to pay you to take them. Then we can negotiate from there. 2 Quote
Guest Taxed Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 Few years back I took a new client who I later learned was given 100 bucks by the previous tax preparer to leave. I was at a local meeting and this tax pro says I heard you got a new client so and so... Come to find out he could not understand her accent and it was taking him longer to get through the tax appointment. Quote
JohnH Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 That happens here in Charlotte, NC as well, although we may be talking about different types of accents... Quote
Guest Taxed Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 Got an interesting call today from a person claiming to be an agent for a tax preparer in the next county. In preparation for his ultimate retirement in 2015/16 is proposing forming a partnership to merge the practices and establish the terms of the buyout. The other practice is home based about 180 - 200 1040 clients only. Billings and cashflow will only be discussed after meeting and some agreements are signed. The agent will not give me the name of the tax preparer etc. Has anyone else run into a similar situation from a broker or agent? What kind of commission do these brokers ask? Quote
