    A Hustler's Guide To Buying And Selling Anything (Part 1)

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    For anyone wondering... When I bought the van I wasn't sure I could do much more with it than scrapping/pulling a few parts for resale. I based this off things the seller was telling me, like "transmission is about to go out. Compressor is shot so it doesn't blow cold", and several other...

    I second what oddball says. I price stuff a bit higher, just knowing that people will lowball/haggle over price. I come down, they feel they got a deal/I made a profit and we're both happy. Last flip was a '99 Dodge Caravan. Bought it for $350, put $250 into it. Listed it for $2,995. Had offer...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Read the book. Twice. Great book. No sugar coating nonsense here. A lot of "experts" like to spew regurgitated slop and pass it off as the road to wealth. MJ lays it out like nothing I have seen before. It all makes sense now. Grab your copy today and get off the sidewalk, quit dawdling in...

    Use unexpected funds to payoff debt or grow business?

    I am by no means an expert on money. But I will tell you what I would do. Pay off the debt(s). When I had debt it was a boat anchor around my neck and I couldn't get any traction until I got rid of them. BTW, I am curious...what is this friends financial situation? I've had a lot of broke...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I don't own a Lambo, much less have driven one. But I am suspicious of his claim he was going "about 40 or 50" on a curve. With that much horsepower on tap isn't it likely he was going faster yet not seem like it? Not sure I could handle 640 horses under my right foot. I get into enough trouble...

    Analysis of Failure: P J Hauling

    I'm a little late to the party. Good read, I liked it. In regards to the article, I wonder what the difference is between collecting trash and delivering a dump trailer to customers? In the end it's all the same. I've also been contemplating a dumpster service. Not exactly sure how to go about...

    Zero Down Hard Money Loan

    That certainly was a compelling argument for a loan. Why isn't any one jumping on it?

    Looking to buy existing Subway shop, help in evaluating the price

    I believe he is saying he would leave that income in the business, not live. I can't but help think you're buying a job. It might be mostly hands off, but the managers still have to report to you and the managers I've known in my time, a few needed to be babysat.

    How I Made $12,000 in 9 Days ... Without a Penny in the Deal

    REAL ESTATE 
    Exactly! Perhaps the 3 worst offenders in my family are my parents and my sister in law when doling out financial advice. Advice I neither asked for, nor want. On top of that my parents are beyond broke and my sister in law and her husband have filed BK.

    Plenty of flakes in the Boise, Idaho area. I imagine flakes are pretty much worldwide. Then I get the idiots that want me to deliver. Sure, if you pay gas, but the reality is I don't have time to go chasing these people down, only to have them say "oh, it's not quite what I am looking for".

    I have bought and sold stuff from CL. Also have bought stuff from local auctions and resold on CL. Or I get stuff from one auction and resell at another auction. Not always a good idea since none of the local auctions allow a reserve. When I first got started 3-4 years ago, one of my first...

    I bought RefreshExpress.com, because at the time that's what I wanted to rename my shave ice business to be a combination stationary/mobile business. But after asking several people what came to mind when I mentioned Refresh Express, none came even close to shave ice, or at least a refreshing...

    My brother has done this on a small scale. If you end up doing financing, be prepared to get into the repo business as well.
