This is another great deal I ran across. Its a graphing Texas Instrument calculator. I picked it up for $2 at a yardsale. I sold it for around $30. This calculator new would retail for around $150. College kids are always looking for a cheaply used one. You can always find these at yardsales for cheap just look for the graphing ones. They will have alot of confusing buttons. The more simpler ones are worth that much. Just another good thing to keep an eye out for at yardsales/
These are a little bit harder to find but if you do they're worth their weight in gold. These are pieces of dollhouse furniture. They date back to the 60's or 70's. I picked these up at a yardsale in my neighborhood a couple of months back. Paid $10 for 2 boxes full of it. I sold this lot pictured above for around $30 and that was just half of one box. I dont know why but apparently antique dealers love this dollhouse stuff so they will pay outrageous prices for it. You might get lucky and get the dollhouse with it too. They are pretty expensive too so keep an eye out for these money making products.

This just surprised me. I put this lot of GameCube games on Ebay thinking I was gonna get a dollar or 2 outta them. I looked on my summary and they sold for $35!!!! And the kicker is that they were too scratched for gamestop to take them. This just goes to show that its the things that you least expect will sell extremely well. The thing to look for is Zelda. Apparently this game on GameCube is extremely valuable. So keep your eyes out for these valuable games.

Random happenings
So i just awoke from an afternoon nap and I had a missed call from a guy wanting to sell me a truck. He's got a Chevrolet truck that doesn't run and is looking to get around $200 for it. Well the first thing you should know is that any car or truck is worth at least $300 in scrap metal. So if you pay below $300 theres no way you can loose money. Now being that it is a Chevy truck the parts are very desirable to a lot of people. Here is a price list of general parts and there general used pricing that you can get.
engine as is - $500
transmission - $250
doors-$75 - $100 each
fender panels - $50 each
seats - $75 each
Rims - $ 20 each
pickup bed- $150
Dash - $75
Driveshaft - $50
Axels - $60 each
And all the random pieces that people need you could get around $5 to $10 each. Then when all the parts are gone or just made alot of money you sell it to the scrap yard and still get around $150 So needless to say, there is money to be made of a junk car or truck. And the note to see here is that all the parts are you pull it, so if somebody wants a part they have to pull it themselves. So no extra work on you. Once you get your name out there people will constantly be calling you about stuff they wanna sell. Always keep a lot of cash on hand just in case you never know what you're gonna run across.

I also failed to mention in my earlier post that pretty much any broken electronics are worth something. This camera pictured above it retails for $119 new. They range from $50-$75 used. This one was broken I still got $30 for it as-is. People will pay pretty good money for electronics that are broken because either they fix them and resell them or they use the parts to fix the camera they have that is broken. Broken electronic devices is a very lucrative business. I have probably sold $1000 worth of broken electronics in the last few years. I saw the other day that a broken IPad went for $400 and they retail for like $500. Crazy isnt it?
