I came across an older Dynojet dyno for sale... Thinking about picking it up and trying to make a little money with it.
How much do people usually pay for dyno time?
Think people would pay to use it as a tuning tool? (Porsche and non-Porsche people.)
It's an inertia style, and goes up to 600 HP.

I hope it is really cheap. We had a Mustang dyno and did not make us money. It was used as a tuning tool for us, but definitely not a wise investment from a making $$ standpoint, granted it was a very expensive dyno as well. We use to charge $100 for 2-3 runs with AFR, and were the only 4wd dyno in the KC metro area. The other places that had 2wd dynojets were charging 45 for 2-3 pulls, so it was really hard to compete with. Make sure you have a hude disclaimer form for people to sign as well.
BTW if you a 4wd mustang dyno with less than 150hours wheel time, I know where there is one for sale, lol.

It's all about how you advertise it and how much demand there is for it! I know there are 4 or 5 in Albuquerque, NM and they all make a decent amount of money off it. Events and etc. help a lot too...

keep in mind - some consumers will want the age and last time your dyno was calibrated/serviced.
Also consider if there is a breakdown can you afford to repair the dyno - to make $$ you will likely spend a fair bit of effort getting customers, that will all be for not if you can't afford to fix your dyno. May want to calculate a single failure into your operating costs if you actually plan to make money over the long haul.
