Anyone want to earn a hundred bucks or so on the weekend all you have to do is thru out the week on your lunch break visit as many thrift shops as possible buy a few items like tools,kitchen stuff/nick nacs,and any sports stuff you can find go to your local swap meet/flea market and set up shop and charge double what you got items for and what you have left on sunday put on ebay/craigslist till friday what you dont sell take back to market on weekend thanks and good luck

This is a bit risky. But I have done something very similar in times of desperation. What I have done, which is another version of this, is went to a pay-by-the-pound thrift store, pick out the items that are brand named and in good shape, and sold them to a local consignment shop for some quick $$. And a consignment shop is just a used, high-end (usually womens) clothing store. I've probably made about $500 a year doing this. We really don't have many flee markets around here or exchanges now that I think of it..But good idea! Whatever we can do to make some spending money is OK in my book!

My husband has talked about doing something like this. There are many places where you can buy cheap things and there are even places where you can pick up people's old things without paying for them. There are some websites where you can upload pictures of the things that you no longer need and then other people can pick them up. My husband often visits those sites, because he is always looking for free things. He keeps most of the things that he picks up around the country, but I guess it would also be possible to sell some of those things

I have never tried this before... But I though of this idea many times.. You can find many good items cheap online, especially on Actions, and then you will sell them for more

Yes this is a great idea. I have yard sells every weekend. I am making more and more every Saterday. That is mostly because I am telling every one that comes that I am setting up every Saterday.

This is a good idea but you have to buy the right things, as sometimes they may not sell for the extra money.
