Since I've been back in Jacksonville (wow over a year now), I kinda started out trying to buy and sell stuff. My first purchase was an all-in-one media card reader/floppy drive for a computer that I put together. The first item I ever sold was a wireless gaming router for a console game system. Since then, I've become somewhat of an expert at it now. I've sold a few cameras, a laptop with a broken LCD screen, a couple of cellphones, computer parts (computer case, CD read/writer, bluetooth keyboard and mouse, RAM sticks), my old Playstation 2, a used Xbox 360, and even a brand new Playstation 3 when it first came out last November.
I'm into photography and one of the hard to get lens (Nikon 18-200mm VR lens) have been selling for a premium since the beginning of 2006. Well, last August, I decided to see if I could could make a profit selling these lenses. Actually I just wanted to make enough profit to help pay for one of those lenses to keep for myself. I'd order a few of these lenses at $750 each, wait about two months or so for them to arrive, and then sell them for much higher price on Ebay....I was hooked. I pretty much made it a side business, so long as there's demand. I've sold roughly 130 of these babies. My "Buy-It-Now" price was as high as $949 around Christmas time, but the demand is dropping and they are currently listed at $849.
Feel free to check out my profile vladtech on Ebay.
Now I'm on the lookout for the next hot item to sell...

I don't believe it...you are claiming this on your income taxes right? I'll turn you in. ;-)
My brother does the same thing with designer jeans. Of course he always gets a pair for himself but he pays them off with his e-bay purchase. Weird Al knows his e-bay.
I'm surprised it took so long for you to get into EBay. Nice job on the lenses.
