There was an article in the WSJ about people who do ebay selling full time.
They simply buy things that they think will sell online and then try to
sell them. It's simple supply demand. Mostly they sell curios and knick
knacks. But it is done. I imagine it is harder work than at first glance
it looks like.
I used to know a guy who ran a used merchandise shop. You have to work very
hard to keep the merchandise coming. Then you have to price it low enough
to keep it moving. That means you have to buy it VERY VERY low. So you
have to have the stomach to be able to cheerfully give the seller nothing at
all (almost) for their merchandise.
