A few people here have posted things. Finding things at garage sales or whatever and selling them online. I'll be a regular at the Goodwill store while I get settled in the new place and they have some stuff you can resell.

I'll start with a Louis Armstrong complete history 15 cd collection unwrapped that should net me about $30.

It's going to be awesome.
 
Lots of goodies to be found at garage sales, thrift stores, craigslist, etc. My advice is to take lots of shots, some will be losers and some will be winners but when you get a loser take the loss and move forward. Also, use tools to list/relist items the more time you take the more it costs (time = money).
 
Amazon has pro selling accounts $40/month

it's different than doing the ebay/garage sales thing, it's designed more for corporate/volume sales

anyone can sign up with a ss but it's better if you're under a corp using ein

the key of the game is to find a source of already popular/established items, if you can undercut the the competition and take control of the 'buy box' what amazon calls the default seller of the 'Add to Cart' button you can make lots of money fast, and it's fairly easy but you have to have balls to pull a purchase in quantities/volume, you research which asin/upc numbers perform well and try to get an edge with the manufacturer/distributor price wise, you do the math and if you can squeeze enough value to make it worthwhile you go for it

there are many variables that will determine if you can/should sell an item, some categories are restricted, apparels and food items are but they can be the best sellers, food moves fast, apparels you can source really cheaply leaving you a big margin, you don't want to compete with items that amazon themselves are already selling most of the time, some times it can be a gold mine when amazon sale out an item from their inventory you take over meanwhile they reup, a day or hours can mean huge sales

they also have amazon fba fulfilled by amazon, it's a killer and a godsend, where you send your inventory to be stored, packed and shipped by amazon from their warehouse, there are storage fees packing fees etc that can eat your margins but it's good if you're like me who don't spend much time in the usa anymore or don't want to leave high value items entrusted to someone/somewhere, lots of benefits also like being prime eligible and winning the default seller slot, at the end it becomes just prepare a shipment and watch money come in if you make the right bets

eg i've had success with these little coffee things that are popular with the millennials, 5k invoiced from a regional kraft foods distributor (go pats) delivered to so fla reshipped saia freight to kentucky for around 33% roi all for cumulative only a few hours of work on every reup, many different ways to squeeze in to the amazon machine, it's fun akin to gambling in a way

What even in the fuck? I'm still trying to learn how to play with the edge in jacks or better video poker to maximize these fucking slot plays, than you though.
Anyone want a Louis Armstrong 15 disc collectors set? Free for Gamelive users. Posters Pucky or Plommer get a free Wii to go with it as well as face to face delivery, and a case of their favorite beer!

Awesome stuff Rogie will be looking more into this on the rizzle.

I'm doing a trial run with leather gloves. Found a supplier in Sialkot, Pakistan (where nearly all soccer balls and tons of leather sporting goods are made) who does nothing but gloves, seems decent. Waiting on a couple samples from him. If the samples are good enough, I'll ask them to do my own design, which I'm working on with my designer buddy (Nelson). We'll see how it goes. If it turns out like shit I'll dump everything on eBay at cost and act like nothing ever happened.

It'll be geared towards the cruiser/standard/retro crowd. A bit like what Biltwell does but not as retro. Going for a more universal appeal.
