From the answers you've given earlier, I would never ask someone to get advice from you. I think you would get along with the loud mouths at my work place, j/k

Welcome back!

Are you the Dell guy from the TV commercials or did you just go around here saying that?

I read your interview, why are you happy with just $25k income from reselling? Has it become more of a side hobby than a main source of income?

In your hay day, what was the best year you had?

Did you file or skip out on uncle Sam?

What are you reselling these days?

I'm just saying that.

$25k is fine for me, I mean I'm not greedy. I said that IF I could make $25, I'd be happy. That dosen't mean I'm actually making $25k or anywhere near it.

I made around $17.5 one year, dealing part time.

I won't comment as to tax liability or what you should do, but I do give uncle sam a cut.

Right now? I hit auto auctions, used equipment auctions, I do some consignments for people, cargo and flatbed trailers, scrap jewelry, guns, etc. Anything liquidatable.

Appreciate you replying but I didn't need your advice with Uncle Sam. I file in full, just curious what you do.

I keep hearing stories of pallets full of Dell systems and LCDs. I thought you did this sort of thing full time. Do you find a larger profit magin in autos/etc than electronics? I am assuming yes since thats what you've moved into.

I've heard of people hitting up storage facility auctions and making some darn good money. Have you ever done that sort of thing?

Lets put it this way - unless you're stealing it from dell, what's the most you're going to make on an $400 LCD? $30-50? With numbers those small, forget it. I'd rather spend $4000 on a car or truck and make $400, $500 or even $1000.

People need cars down here more than they need computers, thats for damn sure.

I've heard it too - I'm not picking through people's trash for money. Seriously, that's just bleh.

281,421,906. That's how many of us Americans there are. That's a lot of us. But that's all of us. It makes you think, doesn't it? So many Americans....and yet I'm still single... it's just not right. Not right at all. Care to change that?
