a rentacoder?

Kind of like ebay for programming projects... There is some stuff for non-programmers as well. Graphics design and Article writing are the two biggest. I did a project once where I just went to Diagnostic Instrument Manufacturer's websites and downloaded the manuals for the instruments. It was easy as hell but time consuming. I got .50/item and did 100 items. I worked at a helpdesk so did all of it during and between calls.

Go to yard sales/estate sales/garage sales early on Friday/Saturday mornings. Most of the time you see only junk but occassionally you can find some treasures for cheap that will resell for a decent profit on eBay.

My wife and I do it as a hobby since we both work full-time jobs. We make an extra $3K - $4K a month from it. You can easily pull in $100 a week doing it.

Can you give some examples of things that you guys have bought and sold in a >= $3K month from doing this? Include the prices you bought and sold at too, if you can remember them. I never thought people could make that much doing that.

There are some nice estate sales here with palm beach a 5 min drive away...but to consistantly net 3-4k as well as find items that ship well I would say would be hard.

Jewelery and the like may be good hits.
