Consider this Income Option

 Consider this Income Option

In the video below, you'll meet a woman who loves training horses—a passion that requires a lot of time but doesn't generate much income.

To cover her bills, she visits a Goodwill Thrift Store. There might be similar stores in your area.

With experience, she knows what kinds of items sell well on eBay and other online platforms like Craigslist, Facebook, etc. 

Before making a purchase, she checks the current selling price of items using her smartphone.

From the 4-minute to the 18-minute mark in the video, you can walk the aisles with her and observe her decision-making process.

At checkout, her total came to around $100. Based on her research, she estimates she could sell these items for about $1,000.

This is not $900. of pure profit because there are costs of time, gasoline, shipping supplies, shipping costs, and taxes. Besides just listing items on the sites hosted by others a person can create their own website to showcase what is for sale and use methods to bring customers there to shop and buy. 

Here are a few website hosts for initial consideration.

If a person specializes in a product line like children's clothes, collectibles, or women’s accessories then others might want to subscribe to a weekly or monthly update email newsletter. 

This approach uses the proven principle of buy low and sell high.

You can apply the same buying method to yard sales, garage sales, flea markets, estate sales, auctions, going-out-of-business sales, and clearance aisles. 

There are always people who want to quickly get rid of their extra stuff for a little money. 

There are always people who want to save money by purchasing used items.

Every thrift store receives new stock throughout the week.

Be aware that others are also using this strategy to earn money.

With experience, you and/or those you know can quickly learn to spot items with the best resale value. 

For big-ticket items acquired at a yard sale or auction, those might be sold at a local consignment store.

Surely there are many YouTube videos and blog posts offering general guidelines and specific suggestions. Just use the search term THRIFTING.

A person cannot use all the alternatives mentioned in this message but with prayer and experimentation, a person can gradually find their niche.

This introduction provides a potential way for you or others you know to add a new income stream.

One advantage of this process is the flexible hours. Buying and selling can fit into a busy lifestyle.

This option is ideal for those between jobs. While networking, sending out resumes, and attending interviews, they can also be earning short-term money.

This can be a win-win-win situation. The 3 winners are the seller, the buyers, and the person who connects these people for a profit.
