Recently I have just read blog in the internet that junk shop business was really profitable and cost a not so large capital. Here in our place I have heard of people who really earned from junk shop business. At first they just start as small time junk shop and after sometime they now become big time junk shop. They already bought new properties from the earnings they gained from junk shop. At first the only problem when you start is how can you collect as many junk as possible to earn more. And if you are going to be a big time junk shop, you have to consider finding the right location and also settle the permit needed in order to operate.What do you think about it? Is true that junk shop business is really profitable and small capital investment? How could it be profitable in your own opinion?

I have seen cases where they started with a little shop at the street corner, and then gradually grew up to a big store. They certainly had the foresight about doing business, and developed it step by step, managing every step of the way properly. There has to be the right products to sell, and at the right place too. Very impressive indeed.

I don't know of anyone who owns a junk shop, but I do have a friend that makes a living from selling stuff on eBay! He goes to yard sales and thrift shops and such and collects stuff, then goes and puts it up on eBay! He's a single father and he earns enough by doing this to support his 2 kids! Plus he gets to work from home so he gets to spend more time with his kids!
