Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 1777 Registered: May-07 | Open up an ebay store??? You could always buy stuff on ebay in bulk, then split it up and resell it on ebay. Look in local pawn shops or flea markets for stuff. I few years ago I use to buy broken video game consoles, mainly PS2's. I would fix em and turn to ebay to get rid of them. I know a guy who buys Ipods in bulk from stores (defective or broken returns) and he fixes them and sells them on ebay. |

Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 17275 Registered: Jun-06 | Keep up on local listings like Craigslist. There's a ton of ppl trying to get rid of stuff for pennies on the dollar. I picked up a $300 shelf stereo system for $25 because the woman "thought" it didn't work. All it needed was a $.10 piece of wire for the FM antenna. Just picked up another 300w Sharp shelf unit because a man bought it for his mother who could never figure out how to use it. Brand new for $50. You can find hidden treasures on Craigslist and even in the local paper. Turn them around and sell them on Ebay or take them down to the flea marts during the weekends. Ppl make a living doing this believe me. Have you ever put anything out on the curb and within an hour it's gone? Now you know why. Both the stereos I listed I could make $100 profit each if I didn't have kids who wanted them lol.  Not bad for a $75 investment.   |

You see hot tubs like this also. They just want it gone. Their loss is your gain. http://southjersey.craigslist.org/zip/736709701.html |

Silver Member Username: Gavbo211JL Audio 10w3v2, IL US Post Number: 929 Registered: Jan-05 | it's all about playing to your skills. For example, lots of people on here could do installs or build boxes on the weekend. Other people are good with electronics, so could make some money by fixing and selling broken computers, playstations, etc. And some people are just good at bargain hunting. they get up early and hit up garage sales, take time to go through pawnshops, etc. My mom bought a piece of jewelry at a pawnshop for 10 bucks because it was marked as "costume jewelry". Turned out to be made out of real diamonds and saphires.. appraised at 3 grand. Unfortunately i cant get her to sell it.. lol. |

Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 2635 Registered: Mar-06 | I know someone that sold a bug killer that was gaurenteed to work properly when used correctly and would last a lifetime if cared for properly. it used no batteries and almost anyone could use it with ease. sold for 10 bucks each through newspapers and the local bargain trader... This amazing bug killer was 2 pieces of 2"x4" cut into 2" long pieces with a piece of paper that said "place bug on one piece of wood and smush with the other piece." He made a lot of money really quick but after a few weeks people started hearing about it and quit buying. Just gotta be creative |

Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 1408 Registered: Apr-07 | haul scrap metal. You see a washer/dryer beside the road- pick it up and scrap several at a time. Do installs or builds for people. Mow lawns- always someone too lazy in your neighborhood. They'll pay you to use their mower and gas! Check out storage container auctions. Buy a whole container for next to nothing and ebay/flea market the stuff. I got a whole big trash bag full of car audio stuff and made a fair bit of cash. Cost to me was practically $0. I found graphic eqs, face plates, wiring kits, all of which sold for over $45 a piece. |
