I sell paintball stuff. I Have someone fulltime to manage listings and inventory. Its a volume equation, as long as we make something, even if its $5 we are happy.

I have considered selling industrial equipment. I flipped a bottle labler I picked up at a bankruptcy auction on ebay and pocketed 6k.

Ive looked at wholesale lots of pocketbikes direct from japan. You can get 200 for 100 a pop and sell for 400.

Also, many people make $ on shipping. With a volume fedex account you can ship a 10lb package express saver (2-3 days) for about 6 bucks and charge $14.95 for shipping.

Whats even more mind boggling is ebay sellers with like 60k in positve feedback. So in that scenario, even if making $10 an item over 2 years thats still 300k a year.

Anyhow, We just started with the paintball stuff and its profitable.
