re: Does anyone here make a living via online ?

i bet he's the one spamming the frick out of espn.com comments section making $78.46/hour. Congrats on the money but can you please leave the comments section alone gfunk?

I buy and sell used cars and I would say about 80% of what I do is online. All advertising is done online. About 50% of purchases are done online through auctions but it could be 100% if I wanted it to. Where I do leave the house is going to pick up the vehicles and bring them back, and going out the day before the auction to inspect the vehicles. But I don't have to go out before, If I wanna be more lazy and risky I can go off pics, experience, and what I see other bidders in the lane doing which I do sometimes. I could do that exclusively but I have a spot I go a couple times per month to do a sealed bid on new car store trade-ins also.

So I guess technically to answer your question, If someone had 100k of capital, and a home property that would hold 25+ vehicles, he could be doing it all from home and making quite a bit. As it is, I scrape by averaging 10 or so hours a week holding 3-7 vehicles. I probably average 1 hour per week of transporting vehicles myself b/c Im close to all places I buy, and I probably average 5 hours per week inspecting cars I may want to bid on, away from home. The remainder of time I watch online auctions and will bid all over the country if something is low enough.

The interesting thing is, there's guys buying certain vehicles all over the country in online auctions that are worth up to 4 times more in third world countries what they are here. So these guys may spend over 100k per week, and ship them to their connection overseas and never leave the house. You can imagine what they make.

But here's the deal. A person wouldn't just jump in and start making money doing what I do. It takes a few years to get good at it, then you still have a lot of patience, common sense and strategy on how you want to recondition, market, and sell certain vehicles.
