Answer 1

Just something for you to think about, a few years ago a couple of months before christmas the local Walmart had a huge clearance on yu-gi-oh trading cards.  I spent around $500 on them and through ebay made around $2,000 profit.

Answer 2

Try looking at yard sales or flea markets. Most places like that sell stuff for cheap because they just want it gone. If you are willing to put a little into it then something like a old dresser could be sanded down and and stained then sold. You just have to keep an eye out for stuff that can be refurbished.

Some people even buy stuff for cheaper off of ebay then turn around and sell it for more.

Answer 3

The best advice I could give is what I follow myself...yard sales, garage sales, estate sales!  My family goes every Saturday morning and look for items that will sell on eBay for more than we paid for ourselves.  My husband knows electronics and has made a bunch of money in this arena.  I know home furnishings like Home Interiors, Tiffany, etc.  Just for an example, my husband paid 1.00 for a Commodore 64 computer setup and we sold this for 78.00 on eBay, so a 77.00 profit is not bad at all.  I listed some gifts I received for my wedding 8 years ago that have just been in storage (I never used the fondue set) and it sold for 20.00+...so first look around your house and then hit the yard sales.  Plus size and maternity clothing sells really good, as does baby items.  Hope this helps!  (p.s. don't forget to add just a little extra as handling charges so that you won't lose any profit with the fees charged by eBay or PayPal).
