I bought a old imitation strat in a recycle shop for 20 euro. Then repainted it, restored the electronic, and put new strings on it and tuned it. And as a finishing touch signed it with my autograhp, and sold it for 150 euro. Made something like 50 euro on it. I probally could have gotten more for it, but I had enough fun restoring the guitar.
anyway back to the profiteering... buying bulk pallets is fun. currently bidding on 48 epson printer returns, i have a couple of plans for them.. including giving some away as freebies at the freshers fair
I got given a 42" rear projection TV, cost me a morning and a case of beer to get a mate with a van to help me pick it up. only problem was it was really old and absolutly massive (I'm talking 5 feet high, 3 feet wide and 3feet deep) and you could only see a picture if the room was dark and you sat directly in front of it (which in my litytle flat ment only 2 people could watch it at a time!) so when it cam e to selling the flat I had to get rid of it put it on ebay for 1p collection only sold for £275!! I also recently sold a replacement laptop screen that dell delivered by mistake and never come to pick up (dispite me arranging a time and placae with them on several occasions) made me £100. Sold a few promo CD's and other stuff that I got as give aways for a couple of quid nothing amazing. I did manage to sell a copy of nuts and bolts 98 and make just 3p profit after shipping and ebay charges but hey....
Does seem very strange, I can hardly see it stopping touts though. Im pretty sure its April time. As for ebay profits, I sold a load of Lego sets for £160......CASHBACK!

If you find a legitimate drop shipper that's the way to go. No boxes taking up space. You can start with very little cash. You'll need a business to work with real drop shippers, though.
Because some dope allowed the new bloke to part exchange his old kit for peanuts where I used to work, I bought a camera for £12 and flogged it on ebay for £250 On another note, I severley underestimated the postage costs on a velbon carmagne tripod, i listed it at £10, but when I got to the post office, it was £40 for the legs and head bcause of the size of the parcel
Made quite a bit off ebay, ex-contract phones are always killers - remember those free upgrades you get and don't want? eBay's your place. e.g. Moto U6, free on contract, flogged on eGay for £140, bought myself a new phone for £90 and still had 30 pints left over!
I already made a couple of hundred bucks with vinyl. Buy them cheap on fleamarkets, clean them up and sell them on eBay for much more. best one was a Iron Maiden Picture disk i bought for 2€ and sold for 130€ average is about 20€ plus on a disk.
My dad used to do that before everyone got wise and charged the earth for them, he saw a meat loaf 'bat out of hell' vinyl for £20 in a charity shop the other day, wtf? Everyone has that . . .
ive sold so many computer parts on ebay with most fetching near retail prices, its a joke... its the gaybay fees that sting ya tho ive sold about 3ks worth of stuff in the last year and a half blahhhh to impulse comptuer purchases
