I bought a bunch of computer equipment for $270 that I think I will end up getting $1000-$2000 for. Definitely a good deal.
I also bought the previously mentioned switches for $1500. I will make around $400-$500 on these. Not near the profit margin.But $400 is still nice. :-)
Here is the thing: I was able to turn around the switches much, much quicker than the various computer equipment. I could sell all of them on eBay, one picture and one listing.
Meanwhile the computer equipment will take dozens of pictures, multiple eBay listings, have to meet people for the stuff that is too heavy to place on eBay.
In the end while I thought the computer equipment deal was 10x better than the switch deal, I am starting to rethink this. There is something to be said for a quick turnaround and less work.
Live and learn.
