Here's what I know about it....When Troy and I made the decision to start selling our things so that we could purchase the RV and travel, we started posting our items on Craig's List and Ebay. Within a day, I had numerous replies for the few things we had posted. As people came over to claim their purchases, they discovered that everything in our home was for sale. They always left with more than they had originally intended and before we knew it we were "bankin".
Before we left our home, we also had several "estate-sales" which earned us plenty of cash. Grooves of people showed up from all different walks of life. We had the pleasure of meeting many of them who purchased "used" items in order to fix them up and resell or remake and resell. From a retired couple living in an RV, to a flea market couple to artists and Ebay Store owners, we had them all. It was so interesting to hear each person's story as they shopped our sale. What we discovered is that many folks do this as a supplement to another income. However, we did meet several people who relied solely on this type of income. They were the ones who worked really hard at it.
If this is one of your passions and you are interested in making this type of career change, I would do as much research online as possible as well as talking with the people who do this full-time. Starting slowly is key, as we sometimes discover in the midst of a career change that the new path is not for us or we haven't quite figured out how to make it work for us just yet.
For those readers who have experience under their belt with this passion, we'd all love to see your comments so we can learn!!
Thank you all for reading and until meet again....
