What business can I do with a high volume mail inserter? Please help?

I'm broke and have no job........I worked in a mailroom for an insurance business. We would basicaly mail "leads" for agents across the nation. Well after enough agents were signed and "underneath" our company my boss just decided to close the mailroom and just make residual income from the agents, leaving me with no job. Odd thing happend, he called me back and said that instead of selling the Pitney Bowes Series 8 inserter machine he would just give it to me and sign the contract over to me. The machine is paid off and still has warranty and mechanic assistance. Is there anything I can do? Maybe open a mailroom for another insurance company? Or do mass mailing for the public? I'm also considering Pitney Bowes training for a couple months to help me better understand the machine for myself. Any suggestions? Anything will help. Thanks

    There are many opportunities for mailing.

    Using the Web and Fedex you can provide service nationwide.

    When I google "Pitney Bowes inserter" I see other companies selling that kind of equipment as sponsored ads.

    Try to find a search phrase which brings up companies selling the inserter service.

    When you sign up with Google for adwords, they help you estimate how much to pay per click-through to get good positioning on the sponsored results column.

    You might have to partner with a company that prints the contents such as collection notices, auto dealer promotions, etc.

    Worse case, sell the stuffer. Isn't it worth at least $20,000?

    Good luck,
