This is for the Hustlers tryna make a dollar out of fifteen cent.
I had a spare Western Digital 500GB hard drive laying around a couple weeks ago. I was going to run a contest here but you know with this economic crunch and all, times are hard! I decided I didn’t want to pay eBay their fees so I’d go through Craigslist AKA Cold Hard Cash.
Put up the listing and within a day got a phone call from someone willing to buy it for full price. Met up with the guy – wham, bam, thank you man – I was $85 richer. So now I got that out of the way I hadn’t forgotten that my listing was still up. I didn’t bother to edit it and say it’s sold because I’m lazy and have things to do.
The next day I must have gotten two calls and a text asking about the hard drive. Told them I didn’t have it. Got a couple more calls the next day. And I’ve been getting a call at least once every 2 or 3 days asking for this external hard drive.
So how does this help you?
Forget supply and demand. How about demand and supply? You got a product that you can get cheap but not sure people will buy? List it on Craigslist, see how many responses you get, then decide if it’s worthwhile.
Places where you can get some cheap goods:
- Alibaba.com
- GlobalSources.com
- Liquidation.com
- Local Liquidations (lots more now because of the recession)
- Craiglist and Ebay (People don’t know the value of their own goods)
Make sure you’re buying from Verified Suppliers on Global Sources and Alibaba. Just putting y’all up on something that I’ll be doing in my spare time. It’s all about having multiple income streams. I’ll let you all know how it goes once I get everything going.

Pretty cool idea, I may have to look into that.
It’ll work. Instead of investing and having something worthless..find out what they want – it’s free.
