$1,000 Money Challenge

ppssshhh... I couldn't even come up with the $1K to start, and if I did, it'd go to debts, HAHA! Good luck guys, be interesting to see what you can do!

Start with $10 at garage sales or other small things you can think of. Buy with profit in mind. I have done this for years of thinking of making a few extra bucks, but I have never extended the time to a year. It has always been make a few bucks now to help with current bills. If you are able to make $100-500 out of that initial $10 investment, use it to help with the bills. If you loose, you are only out $10, not $1000. You can base everything off of a percentage instead of amount of cash. If you sell your $10 item for $20, you have made a 100% profit.

Funny story...

When I worked for Comcast years ago I found a brass beetle at a garage sale. A small pendent looked old got it for a quarter, we called it the scarab at work. I put it on ebay with a very cool story I had a co worker write. Since he was an journalism major and didn't do $hit with his degree I gave him the gist of what I wanted. So the story grew to this fable about my great grandfather finding this pendent in an Egyptian tomb and soon after died of mysterious causes. Years later my grandfather found the beetle in a box and soon died. The back story was the pendent was cursed and anyone that owned it soon died. Bidding started at a dollar and ended up going for over $300. My co-workers were freaking in shock about it and we ending up putting more crap for sale, a hunted coke can that had a ghost trying to escape, LOL stupid coke can that was dropped and bulged out. A can of soup with missing label, and so on.

Long story short, people on eBay are stupid and will buy anything.

Collectors.

I sold free Norwest Bank money bag for $40+ on eBay.
I am planning to sell all my Washington Mutual stuff on eBay for premium.

[MrPrena]

uhhhhhhh.... I checked eBay on WAMU products. Still not reaching premium. I probably need to wait for 5 more years till I can sell all the WAMU free items I've received.

Seriously? he placed an item 4 sale with an outrageous story line. The buyer went for it w/out any hesitation. He spun a yarn, don't like it, like the trading post prices, don't buy it.

I have old AK parts that were rumored to be made with steel melted down from the Kremlin's door hinges.
