Yes you heard me right! Tell me, have you ever heard of the old saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure?"
Well if you haven't heard of this old saying before, then at least you can say "YOU DID" when you're finished reading this article.
The best way I know to make good money on or off-line is to sell things that you get for FREE.
Ok Richelle, that sounds good so far, so can you tell me where I can get these Free products to sell?
Ok, there are many places to get free stuff, but I'm going to tell you where I get my Free stuff.
*Craigslist is the STAR for getting Free stuff anytime you want, and a lot of times you can get really nice things 100% Free, like furniture, computers, clothes, jewelry,baby stuff, house hold items, and other things.
One way you can do it is place an ad in the "WANTED" section in your city and state, say in your ad what you are looking for and make sure you state that you're looking for a "FREE" product, or whatever you are looking for.
Depending on where you live and how many people actually give away free stuff on craigslist in that particular city and category, you may or may not get a good response.
For instance,if you live in a big city, chances are there are a lot of people that may be giving away free stuff in that area.
*Another great place to get free items is your city trash! You heard me! Call your town to find out what days are specified for what type of trash collection. Some days are for recyclables, others for trash, some days are for items like stoves,dishwashers and washing machines and dryers...
You can get A dryer and a dishwasher in the trunk of your car, you just need to tie them down tight.
Most of the time when you see one of these items in the trash, they are NOT broken.
It may be something small like broken driven belt, something that usually cost a few buck and if you're not a handyman, you can hire someone to fix it. You will still make a profit if you pay around $40 to get it fixed and sell it on craigslist between $70-$75.
For me it's a quick buck. I shared this little fling with some of my relatives but they won't do it because it involves getting out there and doing it. They have a truck or van, but they won't do it, but they're real quick to try to beat me out of a few bucks. Notice I said "TRY."

This year, I've managed to find a 3 foot tall plastic santa for outside, and a 6 foot tall 3-D wire tree that has lights around the edges, but I have to replace the strands. There are 2 that are burnt out, and the other 2 are faded to pale pinks, light blues, aqua, etc, not overly Christmasy. I bought some strands of lights for it last night. Now I just need to bring it inside and do it. ;)
