Buy from garage sales and thrift stores, sell on Craigslist and/or Ebay. Used to be pretty easy, but Craigslist has more and more users. People will price items high at their garage sales and say that if the stuff doesn't sell that they'll just run ads on Craigslist.

I've had the best luck with bicycles and stereo equipment, but you just never know. An old man was sitting in a very cool 1940s barber chair in his garage when I pulled up to a garage sale. As I was leaving I jokingly asked if the chair was for sale. "Yep... can't take less than $50 though," was his answer. I sold it for $450 later that afternoon.
