Tick? making money is easy but keeping it is the trick......

What you can do.......books... at thrift stores, swap meets, garage sales and so on you can find books that you can buy for a dime and then sell it for $100.00, I saw my X do it......all that you need is an inventory of 2.000 books on line and they will sell themselves.

At the same time and at the same places you can buy old cameras, lamps, rugs, posters and so on that you can sell on E bay for a lot of money... a couiple a weeks ago at a garare sale I found five mechanical metal toys for which I paid ten dollars and one of them alone goes for $250.00.

A couple of years ago I went to another garage sale (early in the morning) and I saw a box with around 250 one oz silver rounds, I asked the old lady how much she wanted for them and she told me that she didn't know because it used to belong to her long gone husband..... I gave her $100.00 and she was very, very, very happy........I then sold them at the coin shop for a very nice price and then went back to the old lady and gave her half of the profit, it really made her day.

I have another invention (really an idea) that one out of five person would buy.....ok , ok, at least one out of twenty five...... would cost 0.17 cents to make and another 0.25 cents for the display, could wholesale for .075 and retail for $1.50 but because I am retired (that's why I made my money) I really don't want anymore adventures and dealings with the government.

By the way friends, as you may have noticed I talk a lot about myself and that's because I feel that you can learn more from my own personal experiences rather than about what someone else did.
