I just want to say that i have read on here so many times about people barely making ends meet, not having food, SAHM's struggling, single parents struggling. i'm here to tell you how to MAKE SOME MONEY :D
right now i have about 10 auctions on ebay. it is all stuff i got at yard sales for cheap, BUT it is good stuff and people are willing to pay big bucks on ebay if you have the right stuff and present it nicely.
i bought a dooney and bourke purse at a yard sale for 5.00, it is currently up to 38.00 with 5 days to go. got a set of bath and body works lotion and gel for 3.00 for the set, currently at 14.50 on ebay. got a bratz doll at yard sale for 3.00 and it's up to 6.45, they all have 5 days left and there's more but you get the point. i've been doing this for years and it is so fun to see something you paid 3.00 for sale on ebay for 40.00. Once i got a little girls rothschild coat for 5.00 and got 50.00 for it on ebay, the list goes on and on IF you know what to buy and present it properly.
Friday night get the paper, find yard sales close to you, prepare a route and hit the road around 6:30 sat morning. look for nothing but name brand stuff like tommy, ralph lauren, brighton, gymboree, bath & body works, nike, skechers, stuff that you can group into lots according to size but it has to be high quality stuff. wash it if necessary, iron it, make a set or a lot if you can, start your auction off at 1.00 and whallllaaaaaaaa, you will make a profit. it does require effort with the yardsaling and packaging and running to the post office, but when your paypal acct has 800.00 in it for stuff that actually cost you 75.00, it's worth it, atleast to me it is ;)
