the type of guy that goes to these things? Or Rummage sales?

If you over a certain income level? Intelligence level? or Busyness level? Why in the world would a man do these things?

I have a friend who makes a shitload of money as a reseller. He goes to garage sales and finds items that cost him $5 that he flips for $250 on online. His wife quit her full-time job to work the shipping and sales side of it because they were making so much money.

I enjoy stopping at yard sales from time to time, looking for vinyl. If you're lucky, you can snag someone's entire collection for pennies on the dollar.

I have a buddy that is a notorious flipper of small engine stuff. He's really good at it. Will buy scooters, mopeds, lawn mowers that don't run from people for pennies on the dollar. He'll get it running and flip it in a hurry. Fucker bought a scooter that didn't run for $100 bucks...all it needed was a new battery...sold it for $1200....

Yep. A lot of money to be made. You just have to know what you're looking for and have the inclination to spend your weekends going to garage and estate sales. My buddy also hits Goodwill and the like literally every day on his lunch break. He loves doing it.

Not into garage sales anymore, but I moved onto Amazon returns auctions. Most items are 65-80% off retail and still new.

Regardless of income level there is satisfaction in saving money and getting crap for cheap.

Where do you find these at?

Now that you all mention it I may have a garage sale so I can get people to come get the shit I don't want anymore...
