Niche businesses

Mark Dionne has found a niche business that rivals TrackCap.com, a business that sells those little TrackPoint nubbins for Thinkpads (aka The Most Over-Packed Item in History). A family member's cellphone got run through the washing machine, so Mark googled "cell phone washing machine" and got this Google ad:

Soggy Cell Phone?
Dropped your phone in the toilet?
Took a spin in the washing machine?
FastCellPhoneRepair.com

For $40 they'll service your cellphone. (Mark notes that he fixed the phone himself, so we don't know how good these folks are.)
