selling on ebay, buying a house
So, I've started a new scheme, buy pallets at super cheap cost and sell the stuff on ebay. There's this store that sells pallets of overstock for really cheap from Target, Sears etc. So I picked up a pallet yesterday and started listing today. I've done this before and it's pretty awesome way to get some fun cash or cheap items for the home. You can buy a pallet and depending on whats on it depends on the price, mine was $300. I can make the money back plus $500! I cut down my profit and kept an item. I kept a gliding rocker and ottoman set that retails $200, and with the stuff I've sold, I got the ottoman for free, plus made a profit of $300. It's kind of a pain in the butt, you have to pick up pallet, break it down, put it in your truck, then take it home and sell it piece by piece. But the profit is worth it, and you can get some really good deals, see rocker. On another note, I have finally found THE house. The other deal fell through. This new house is better. It's got a pond and kick ass landscaped gardens. It's on 3 lots. It's an old victorian that used to be the orphanage. It's lovely, and it's gonna be mine April 18th. We have it under contract right now, but pending the home inspection it will be ours soon! YAAAAY!
