A similar way to make money that's good is the Craigslist "Free" section.

I once worked at a shop and everything they found was from the Craigslist Free section.

Everyday you may find something unique, and most importantly its FREE!

Plus, you will never know what you may find!

If you live in a big city, your chances are greater in finding something.

Example. I'm on the New York City Free Section, and I found:

An entire store that is "FREE"



If I lived there I would take as much as I could. Resell it on eBay, and because it's free. It would be 100% REVENUE!

GardenGnomes, very true with online selling. Back when I was a little guy my Dad and I collected older beer stuff (signs etc...). When he died I was young and ended up with all the packed away boxes and didn't really have an interest in collecting again until 3-4 years ago.

I got back into it a few years ago and began going to flea markets in the Summer to find stuff for my own collection. I have a huge collection of old Beer Signs (hamms motion ones from the 60's etc..../quite the display in my basement). I also started going to auctions. Along the way I thought "Why not buy things to list on Ebay"? Hmmmmm. I had never sold anything on Ebay til that time (3-4 years ago). As of tonight I have feedbacks on Ebay of 3582 and there are many that do not leave feedback so with that said I have sold over 4000 items in the past 4 years there and do very well. I usually have 20-30 items listed at any given time. It's actually pretty easy and once you know what type of stuff to pick up one can make a decent amount of money selling online on Ebay like you mentioned.

Just my little story :)
