Got Trash? Don’t Fret -You Got Cash!

Earlier, I mentioned how easily you can make $200 a day with $5 cost. But did you know you can actually make $900 a day at almost no capital expenditure?

I discovered the method years ago when a relative gifted me a pair of shoes. Not just any kind, mind you. These were Louis Vuittons. $400 kicks that turns heads…. but in the wrong way.  I tell you, those were butt ugly shoes. Any sensible man wearing them would scream tycoon… but he’d also look very cheesy. Who wanted to go around in a pair of brown kicks that had ugly monograms looking psoriatic? Not me.

The shoes stayed in the closet for months until my mom said I may as well dispose of them. I tried in the newspaper, magz and on bulletin boards but no one bit. Then I tried ebay.

With an asking price of $50, people bid up to $220. Yep, I recall that number till today because I spent it all on a decent sound system. There indeed is money in trash. Well.. branded trash that is.

Momentum picked up. I then started disposing of assorted branded goods I rarely used. Lacoste, Ck, even Hugo Boss. I often got 50% to 80% of what I originally paid for them. That’s when I hit on an idea making cash off second hands: use other people’s trash!

I had friends with branded stuff that just grew mold in the closet. With my camera and their permission, I snapped up shots and posted them on ebay. True enough they sold- with next to no cost from me. I just bought the item from my friends at a low price which was far lower than the winning bid.

I then started visiting second hand branded goods stores. Befriending the owner was the first step. The second step was asking permission to take shots of their goods. Many readily did. The shots ended up on ebay. If the item sold, I came back and bought the item and shipped it out. If  it didn’t (which was rare), I lost 50 cents listing fees.

This method alone can give anyone a comfortable life. There’s no need for initial cash outlay.  Consider it a blend of JIT systems with online marketing. Acting as the middle man, you can squeeze a massive profit from those hunting for bargains.
