Net or Gross...

I've done 8K Gross in a month on the Bay before with no problem.

Joe has it right buying the contents of Storage Rentals. But don't stop there...Yard Sales, Estate Sales, Thrift Stores, Consignment shops, local auctions, even Antique Stores. U can even buy stuff on the Bay and resell it...but that is for something 3 million pair of enquiring eyes have missed.

Let me clue U, Missouri is a good place to look for stuff. I found a Carlos Gove -Denver City- Plains Rifle in a little auction down in So Missouri, turned out I was the only bidder..bought it for $500 and sold it through a Large Auction house and cleared $1500 on it. For a profit of $1000, and it was a piece of junk. How hard was that.

This last weekend I picked up 3 items for $3700 with a value of between $6000 and $7500. This coming weekend I have 4 more items to go after.

The area where absolutely the most money is left laying around is Art...it only takes one piece to make U well for a long time. I have been able to buy pieces for $500 that are worth 10K no problem. Now what is really easy are the $200 or $300 pieces you can turn for $1500, thats all over the place.

All U have to do is look on the free web site www.findartinfo.com to check if the artist is listed, is the paintings style roughly the same as whats pictured on the site and what his values are. Jeff Moran of Morans in Pasadena showed me a little painting that was bought for $10 at a yard sale, it was so dirty you could hardly make out what it was, turned out it sold for $9800. What do U have to know..have a brain, be willing to look things up and think well does this thing look interesting, does it seem to have life to it..

You can literally make money on Cast Iron Pots and Pans...or how about Womens Designer Purses, Belts and Shoes...I was standing in lie at Fed-ex one day and a gal told me that she MADE $500 a week selling Designer Womens stuff on the bay.

So its there if you wana look.

BTW: When I was living in LA and going down to Abels off Garfield every week... if U think only people with limited means do this your a retard... there were people with 8 and 9 figure net worths going through there every week looking for a bargain. None of these guys ever pays retail for anything.
