Not much else you could do and survive. Even if there be 
takers, you're still likely making less per hour fixing the 
problems than the other guy did making them, whether the new 
owner ever knows the difference or not.

Doing good may, as advertised, be it's own reward, but that's 
only because of it's limited income potential.
