Friend of mine knew someone who worked at best buy. He would buy electronics at cost and then sell them on ebay for a profit. Difference there is that he could only buy so much from best buy a month, so it had to be things with a good profit margin. And, you need to money make money there, gotta lay out the money first before you get anything back.

I always buy stuff that is on rediculous sale at Menards or whatever. Not clearance necessarily, because you cant return them if they dont sell. Last year Menards had snowmobile dolly sets on sale for 20 bucks. I bought 20 sets, put them starting bid at 29.99, Buy it now at 32.99, plus shipping of course. Those usually run at least 49 bucks in stores so everybody wins! I sold all 20 sets and went back for more until the sale was over. I wasnt greedy and the buyer got a good deal too since there are not Menards everywhere. Sometimes Ebay =tehwin!

Go to Walmart and buy a butt load of cheap light bulbs and a couple cans of black spray paint.

Sell black lights for $10 a piece plus shipping.

Haven't you ever heard of a "black light"??? They go for $10 or more from stores like Spencers.

Here's what a typical black light does:

Your won't do that but it's STILL a black light (once you've spray painted it. lol).

Ok... here's an idea that's "legit". Get some tools (you select quality and brand) and coat them with that "rubber in a can" stuff. Then resell them as electrically insulated tools. Small tools... screw drivers, pliers, blah blah blah
