Anyone else enjoy buying and selling stuff, via craigslist and ebay?
 

I love it, I get to use a bunch of cool stuff, and sell it later, and make money.

 

Just today I made 65$ profit on a pair of speakers.

 

I picked them up at a garage sale for 5$, then sold on ebay for 60$ plus 20$ shipping. Shipping cost 10, I walk home with 65$.

 

I also picked up a nice Onkyo receiver today for 15$, but im keeping it, and selling my old Sony receiver

 

Anyone else do this?

I'm more of a buy it and keep it type of guy instead of sell it, I've got quite a bit of stuff lying around. But I really should start selling more.. always just seemed like a hassle.

yeah i kinda sell everything when it is not in use for some time, that usually is not really profitable but I do it anyways ^^

If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself.

I seem to make some profit, and some losses on stuff i didnt intend to sell.

 

Overall i always end up with about the same amount of money, as the profit I make is lost, or spent on things i dont sell.

Did it several times.

 

Even bought some phones from a website (the phone is exclusive only in that website), and sold it in eBay for $30 more dollars.

 

The phones are 3 x Moto G 2013, 2 x Lenovo A6000 Plus.

If you are well diversified you can expect to make 8-12% a year on average.
