Here's my answer;
1. My aunt. She was an antique dealer, she's not gone, just not really a dealer anymore. Seeing the treasures she found, the depth and breadth of knowledge, and, of course, the profits makes the subject very enticing.
2. About 3 years ago I wanted to buy a car for fun. Track, street, whatever... a fun car. I wanted a miata but was a bit short on the funds to get one I liked. I purged the house of stuff that would have value to others, but less to me. 2 months, and about $2000 later, I realized how fun it was.
...fast forward to about 2 months ago, I got back into it, wanting to get a bit more cash flow, and pay some stuff off. Nothing crazy yet, but the emphasis on making some real money starts today.
It's a bit more of a running start than I would like to do. I had 3 auctions sell on ebay today for $197. So as far as profit goes, I'll count it. Minus whatever shipping will be (I did free shipping), and eBay and paypal fees.
I also have a few bucks in inventory up, out of pocket cost maybe $30. So in a few days I'll settle the books and tell you where I'm at.
So, from admittedly a running go. I hope to profit about $1000 this month, including what I have up now. Then, let's see if I can double it next month with rolling profits back in.
Wish me luck.
