As we approach the end of this semester I would like to take the time to tell you guys that this hobby of mine is very easy to get into and once you know what you need to look for and what is a good deal and what isn’t, you can make very very good money. I choose to do this as a side job and more of a hobby than even that but someone can easily make a career out of this if you devoted the time and effort to this hobby.  Everyone has their own type of hobby and stuff that they consider valuable and you will be knowledgeable on that particular item.  All you have to do is find the items that you think may be a good deal and purchase it, then put it for sale on a bigger market. So if you find a rare item a a garage sale that you think is worth money and the owner just doesn’t know what the real value of that item is, pick it up and then list it for sale where more people that are specifically lokking for that item or a similar one.

I always research the value before making the purchase, that way you a rough idea what the market value is for that particular item and also find out if you are buying the item at a price where you can turn around and sell it to make a buck or two.  One rule to try to always follow is to never get attached to anything that you buy to sell, I strictly like to do this to make money and constantly have new things, so always remember that you bought the item to make money on and not to keep it for yourself. If you do keep it you may loose out on making money and then the market may not be as high as it first was
