I Love the show, "Market Warriors," on PBS. I understand this is counterintuitive, since the experts on the show rarely make money but often get taken to the cleaners. The reason I love the show is that I have been selling other people's stuff for a living for about 2 years, and now I am starting a new career as my own kind of market warrior. For the last two years, I have been selling things (all kinds of things) that belong to my family and friends and taking a commission. I have actually been fairly successful at it, so now I am branching out. I have been buying things at local thrift stores recently and reselling them for a profit.
My strategy is to buy an item at a low price, and resell it on Ebay, starting the auction at the price I paid. This way, even if I don't make any money, I won't lose any either. So here is my first thrift store find, an authentic Coach bag with leather accents. I found it in a thrift store bin and I paid exactly 99 cents for it. It is in great condition, and I took pictures and started my auction. By Sunday, I will be able to report my great success or dismal failure.
