nothing beats proof people are buying stuff.

You raise the problem which most people get hung up on...the WHAT to sell, see, even now someone wants to know about LAPTOPS.

One way to move laptops is to load them with cheap or free software and offer them as a "business solution", especially to Internet Marketers.

But, looking for certain things can get harder to do, which is why I use ebay and Amazon to find out what people are paying.

Most people have a wrong take on buying and selling, mostly chasing the bigger scores, like Yeezy Sneakers, selling for over 1000 bux on ebay but with a very limited source.

If you understand that 20% is an outstanding return on your investment, then you can do really well, if your 1000 dollars can net you 1200 in a short period of time, you can grow into larger cash deals.

Try this, search your local craigslist...type in for sale in the "search craigslist" box and then put in 249 as the minimum price and 449 as the maximum. Here is a price range where you can easily find 80-120 dollar profits in a matter of hours.

It will return EVERYTHING in the price range, your job is to search for undervalued stuff. How do you know? ebay and amazon!!!!

Say you see a Sony notebook for sale for 249 and the same thing has been sold on ebay for 349, you see a gross of 100 bux, after shipping and handling if you make 60-80 bux profit, a pretty good hours work (if you don't know what you are doing).

Stand in the gap. Everyday, mundane, Parade of Life Chattel changes hands and puts profits into one's pockets, if you do like certain things, like laptops, by all means search for them and sell them.

But day in and day out, you'll find bargains on one or the other and you flip them on the other, or in craigslist case, I just relist them with a superior ad.

I have a friend in my hometown who goes garage saleing. Big deal, right? Wrong. You should see some of the stuff he finds. Knives, WWII bayonets, guns, jewelry, etc. All stuff he knows he can sell on ebay since he's been doing for years. So, everyday chattel changes hands and puts profits into one's pockets is an accurate statement.

BTW, he's taken on a side kick who finds stuff. He pays the guy double what the guy pays for items. For example, on his last jaunt he found a box of doodads for $30. Jimmy paid him $60 and sold them on ebay for $180. The guy can do this himself but prefers the quick double.

You are right on with your point.

Dien, thanks for starting the post.
