It sounds like a good idea at first, but now I think that nearly everyone can DIY a kegerator and wouldn't want to pay labor. Shipping would be a giant hassle with the draft tower assembled and everything too.
Then I thought about Craigslist, but you don't really want strangers just walking into your house do you? At first I thought that assembled kegerators (at Lowe's) were $800+, but now I have found cheap ones for $350 online (sure they're pieces of crap, but that would be your competition).
I calculated $450 for basic parts, +$90 for flow control Perlick faucets, +$110 for 5# CO2 tank with gas lines, +$140 for 2 Corny kegs (total nearly $1000!). Then you have to add labor or it's not even worth doing.
Anyone sold a kegerator and successfully made a profit?
