Im sorry i cant give away my products as they are a very tight niche and took weeks of research to understand the product market.. lol

OP, can I then 'buy' one from you because I have a 'high demand' for it?

ive a coworkers wife who goes on craigslist, gets some free kids furniture and repaints it all up n shit and resells it...its not much for them, but every little bit helps i guess.

im sure if i were to go grab a cheap 50$ piece of wooden furniture from craigslist,i could sand it down, stain it all, make it look brand new..i could probably re sell it for more then i put in to it...

i need to find something to do to kill time during the day and also try to make a few extra bucks on the side

anyone have suggestions? ive looked into penny stocks, but without someone physically/verbally teaching me 1 on 1, i wouldn't be able to learn it.

There lots of different ideas.. you just have to open your eyes.. ideas are EVERYWHERE.
Il give you another example..

My friend started this a couple years ago.. made a killin.. most he made was 8.+k / month a couple years back..
He lived near steveston.. and one day came upon a bunch of used crabbing traps.. he talked to the owner of the place who just wanted to get rid of em as they taje up more and more room.. he ended up buyin it from the guy.. theres always commercial crabbers who give away out crab traps they no longer use for very very cheap... He baught 500 pieces at 5$ a pop..
sold them on craigslist for 60$ individually.. he would pick up almost every month.. the month he made 8+k he ended up sellin all 500 pieces for roughly 25$ each to couple guys who ran charters.

pm me if you need some ideas

This is great and all, but what vehicle did he need to move them, space to store, time to pick up/ deliver, etc.
If I were you I'd concentrate on something that can be a sustainable business, whether small or bigger, which doesn't require your day to day input - something that drops money whether ur working or sleeping

i totally agree with you on creating a sustainable business.
Time is definatly money.. and you have to take into account how many hours you are putting in to make how much money..
However Im just trying to point out that outside of a 9-5 there are some quick cash ventures, I was not concentrating on a economical self sustaining business point of view.
Like i said he lived right by steveston.. he made a agreement with the owner, my friend paid him cash up front @5$ a pc.. and he could keep the nets there for 3 month peroid.. since they were ganan sit there anyways the owner agreed.. so everytime he had a sale he would just meet the buyer down infront of the gates and hand him a trap.. 50$ profit for a walk down the block is not bad.
He did take into account the hours spent/posting/calls,txts/meeting, etc.. but even then the avg per hour is pretty good.. He was only 19 at the time.

sometimes you gotta do the hard work, save up a big chunk of change, so you can invest in things that are more passive.
