How can I make money off the internet?

Post by dudex77 » Sat Aug 18, 2007 10:53 am

Well I feal really dumb asking this but a friend wants to make money off the internet and all his ideas consist of affiliate crap which as far as I can tell is a load of crap. Has anyone here found anyway to make money online?

Fixing broken consoles that you can buy on eBay works for me.

Hacking into banks? :twisted:



I'd say fixing broken stuff like Valium does would be pretty good if you know what you're doing, or buying stuff from thrift stores and garage sales for cheap and selling it for 10x more on ebay. Triton does that, but he seems to be the luckiest person ever when it comes to good deals.

Seriously, you can buy PS2's, Gamecubes, Xbox's with disc read errors, for about $5.

Turn one screw, and presto, $70 profit.

I thought about that. But shipping is where you lose the majority of your profit. In Canada, at least, you'd need to buy a gamecube for $20 or less to pull a profit. $10-$15 shipping, sell for $50.

If you're looking at this post and it was made before 2008, just ignore it.

Me and a friend were just discussing that and were wondering if such a guide exists :lol: I figure He can just sell stuff on eBay because in spain all the gypsies at the market sell really valuable retro gaming stuff for like a Euro and he could sell it all for a lot more.

You can do that if you don't mind buying stolen goods.

The gypsies aren't jacking these things from people or if they did they were stolen like 20 years ago. I once bought a masersytem that had burn marks and it was filled with dirt just to say I did :lol: Gypsies can't keep crap clean at all.
