    PROFIT is made when you BUY/ACQUIRE NOT when you sell

    Scratch off tickets and the markers that smell like fruit...Honestly though, and I'm not trying to come off as pompous, but do some reading in the archives and you can find out what people are making money on.....

    I buy anything I can make money off of. As a general rule, I like to at least double my money, but a smaller percent return is fine if I don't have to handle the product much...

    junk cars,batteries,cats,aluminum cans,scrap metal.
    i also sell remote control helicopter parts and fix/repair remote control helicopters on ebay. also been debating on finding trailers and horse trailer projects fixing them then turn them around and sell at a profit. i got couple different jobs i made myself last year and a half. got laid off last 3 years. tried applying for work but they tell me i'm unemployable. whatever that means!!
    so since sitting at home feeling sorry for myself i decided to do something about it. the scrap metal business which is what i started with originally saved me.
