Data I have a friend who did a little bit of that. He said he actually would see Darryl and the other guy Dave at the auctions he would go to all the time.
He said that if you do not have a good way to resell the product you get then you will get screwed. Thus having a second hand store is pretty essential. He tried to sell stuff on craigslist and it didn’t go well for him.
What he did have more success at was going to the auto auctions. Yards will auction off cars alot and if you are savy with autos then you can do well. He did okay with it but was also a car guru.

On a serious note if I wanted to start a biz I would simply look at the factors that others look at. For instance, what is something in demand right now? What do we have alot of?
Well how about senior citizens? We have plenty of them. Lots of them need support. What can you think of to help them and earn some money in doing so?
What else is out there? I liked FLUs idea. How about you write an app that can show where registered sex offenders are at?
If you really think about it, there are alot of opportunities out there but they take time, energy and money to pursue.
