Buying shit on Cragslist (or Gumtree in the UK) and selling on eBay and vice versa. My better half manages 500-800GBP a month with this quite happily. Persuaded some muppet to sell her a Korg Triton for 80GBP and got 580GBP on ebay for it :) Unfortunately it got converted to clothes and shoes pretty quickly :(

let me translate what you just said: "Persuaded some muppet": she gained her mark's confidence. "to sell her a Korg Triton for 80GBP": she ripped her mark off. "and got 580GBP on ebay for it": and then she profited from the rip-off. in some circles, that is referred to as grifting.

  It was knocked down from 120 from someone who hadn't done their pricing research so it's fair game :) Taking from idiots is an evolutionary step. Look at VC funding!

    Ignorance =/= idiocy.

      No but idiocy is directly proportional to ignorance.
