You can make money doing this if your honest and hardworking... If you've got the space and time then go for it. You'll learn heaps about selling and stuff along the way. But you also need to be able to hold out for the right buyer. So instead of selling a car for $2000 you may have to wait another 2 weeks to get an extra $500. I always state my price and stick to it. The latest thing seems to be that people will send you txt messages offering a lower than asking price. I never answer these because if they were serious they would at least look at the car before making and offer.

The thing is there are some dodgy people doing this as well and we refer to them as "back yarders" locally. They get their hands on older cars or accident damaged cars and rebuild and/or repaint them in their garage using two pack paint and no booth. Just heat lamps to set the paint. I almost got caught once when looking at a car to buy. I became suspicious when the passenger seat belt would not fit into the buckle. As it turned out the seat belt had been scavenged from a breaking yard and it was the wrong one for the car. Which lead me to believe the car had been in a serious accident and had been hobbled together.
