Heres an idea I learned from a friend. He calls it "treasure hunting" I call it dumpster diving...

Go out on trash night with a few buddies and a truck. Just drive up and down the streets eyeballing the stuff on the curb. Vacuum cleaners are a good bet, people toss those and they still work. Same with other stuff. My buddy did this for a few weeks, cleaned and fixed some stuff, then made $1100 with one 1 day garage sale. He did it again a few weeks later and made 800 bucks. Free money, I need to go out with him when he does this again.

Another trick, buy the broken rental tools from the various places that rent. My buddy bought 8 chainsaws for 40 bucks, gave them to me and I got 5 of them working. He gave me 2 and sold the rest, 200 bucks a pop. Turned 40 bucks in a grand (600 on his end).

Just keep ypur eyes open, there is plenty of stuff you can do.
