In the money...
Well, a little bit of it anyways. Today I went to the local resale store and saw a whole shelf full of brand new law and business text books. Some still shrinkwrapped and all 2006 or 2007 editions. So, I picked up 8 of them and thought, "I just paid out the wazoo for MY textbooks so maybe someone will buy these from me." I paid .25 each for them. I came home and listed them on half.com and within 45 minutes, I sold 4 of them for a total of $299. Yep... sweet. So, I went back and bought 8 more. Not a bad deal huh?

That is too sweet!!! How come I never think of stuff like that?
You should do that kind of stuff if you have time. You get to shop and you make extra moolah.
I'm up to $429 for 6 of them now. If I sell them all it will be just under $1000 and I paid $4 for all of them. Keeping my fingers crossed!
I LOVE that stuff! I adore finding it too. I bought a vintage Barbie portable record player for a quarter and sold it for $12, but I can't touch you!
We sold an old satellite box, back in the day where pirates could program them to get all the codes free. We bought it for $99, used it for two years and sold it for $344.
Finally, I won a giant Sulley and Mike from Monsters Inc and Toys R Us. Sulley didn't hold up so well. He was 7 feet tall and counterbalanced by a tail nearly that long. His knees broke down and now his head is mounted on a friend's wall. But Mike was about 3 feet tall and I sold him for $437 and the guy paid an additional $250 for shipping and packing.
