Started my own Engineering side business. It led me to around $15k last year.

Lately I’ve been getting rid of my personal belongings I no longer use on eBay.
My dad used to fund 2 week family vacations from buying antique books at flea markets and yard sales, and reselling them on ebay (think Hardy Boys books - original prints). I didn't realize that ebay was still a strong marketplace for personal items like you mentioned. I have a ton of shite that needs to be offloaded and it sounds like ebay might still be the place to take care of this.

How did you get started in this? The equipment is pretty costly, right?

I've been getting spam e-mails from 'AdvisoryCloud' for the past couple of years. Just curious if anyone has used this for their consulting stuff.

Never heard of it. I work directly with one Investment Research group. Otherwise, I get sourced through either GLG or Guidepoint.

If you clean up nicely and are a presentable person, call a temp agency and tell them you want to bartend catered events. You work here and there and mostly pour wine and open beers with a smile on your face and a tuxedo. You can hustle plenty of side money.
While doing this, You can also build good relationships with various catering companies that pull from temp services and eventually get your own booze biz going so they come to you and bypass the temp agency. You know it's time when the caterers are asking for you by name at the agency.
Its not something to quit most day jobs over, but you can side hustle a good bit of money.

I’ve considered GLG but I don’t think my current employer wants me sharing that expertise externally.

This is one I've thought about recently. There are so many wedding reception and corporate type events around here and the job doesn't look that difficult. I bed the cash is pretty good at all of the mardi gras balls and such as well.
Plus the women with low cut dresses would make for a good distraction while working.

How do you do real estate and make money without it taking up a lot of time? Serious question here, my wife has her license but the time involved was killing her.
What was she doing that was eating up so much time? The paper work is very easy, I can do all the contracts on my phone in about 20 minutes or 10 minutes on my computer. I typically do the paperwork at night once I put the kids to bed. Most of the time if I show a house it’s on the weekend or after work.
The majority of the deals I have done have been through friends or friends of friends. We list houses at a discounted rate so it kinda sells itself. Only thing we don’t do is open houses (which is really just used as a tool for agents to pick up additional clients) so I don’t have to waste a lot of time.

One thing to keep in mind, at alot of catered events, you aren't supposed to accept tips. The host, at the end of the event, will tip the total bill, and the manager divies that up as he/she sees fit.
But sometimes you do see tip jars set up, but those are usually much less formal events and the bartender probably isn't being paid for anything but the alcohol cost and a small flat rate.
Just know that if you get into it, there will be different types of events with different norms on the cash side of it.

Vandy, did you buy any rage against the machine tix that went on sale last week?

I suppose it had to do with the "team" she joined. They had daily call requirements, etc. It sounds like the trick is finding a broker who is ok with casual work and isn't going to charge a ton of money.

Hard at first. You will be low in search listings until you start having steady sales... which is hard because you are so low in the listings. You have to start with the fastest moving items you can find.
Buy stuff from yourself to get your street cred up

I didn't. I haven't bought a presale or an onsale in years. That one business model change has resulted in a huge increase in profitability.

Yea mine doesn’t care how much or how little you work. They know I’m very part time. They take 15% of every deal which isn’t horrible IMO.

I’ve thought about doing this when I see clearance items at stores. I was just wondering were do you find your items that you wind up selling.
Anywhere that items are on clearance. Wal-mart clearance aisle is a goldmine. Five Below, Ross, TJ Max, Home Goods, Marshalls, Burlington, Target, Lowes and Home Depot have all produced money makers.
My most recent big money maker was from Lowes. I found three packs of shipping tape which I got for 1.98 after tax. My net after all Amazon fees and shipping to Amazon was $10.13. I was able to get 60 of them.
