baru beberapa hari yang lalu saya bertemu dengan saudara jauh saya yang berdagang mebel. Keluarganya memang terkenal sebagai pedagang mebel seperti meja kursi almari dan sejenisnya. tak hanya dirinya, kakaknya, bu denya, pak denya juga ikut ikutan jual mebel karena untung yang menggiurkan.
Namun baru bertemu kemarinlah saya baru tahu bahwa beliau ingiin ganti bisnis . Saya juga heran kenapa kok ganti bisnis. bukankah untung menjual mebel cukup besar. menurut beliau setiap bisnis ada masa jayanya. dulu memang dengan menjual berkakas rumah tangga keluarganya bisa hidup makmur namun sekarang tidak seperti dulu,.. benurut beliau bahwa masa jaya bisnisnya telah lewat dan sekarang kejayaan tersebut beralih ke perdagangan milik budenya yang juga jualan mebel.
Mungkin juga ada benarnya, karena rejeki setiap orang memang berbeda beda dan setiap saat juga berbeda beda. dulu kaya sekarang belum tentu masih kaya, yang dulu miskin bisa saja sekarang atau besok jadi kaya raya . liat aja si tukul yang dulu kerja serabutan dan sering ngutang untuk makan. sekarang malah gajinya lebih besar dari manager bank.
dari sinilah kita perlu selalu berinovasi, mengembangkan bisnis dan siap siap menabung untuk hari depan dikala bisnis kita yang sekarang sudah gak laku lagi. Dari pengalaman jadi orang kaya, saya merasakan bahwa semakin kita banyak uang semakin kita merasa bahwa uang bisa cepat hilang maka wajarlah kalau banyak orangyang sudah kaya semakin ingin tambah uang karena takut jika uangnya nanti habis. sudah punya pabrik satu pingin nambah dua, tuga. sudah punya cabang bisnis pingin menguasai seluruh indonesia. sudah punya bisnis di berbagai bidang pingin jadi orang paling kaya. kalau diturut terus meneus gak ada habisnya kecuali sudah masuk liang lahat.
maka orang yang paling bahagia dari harta adalah bukan orang yang banyak harta tapi orangyang merasa cukup dan mesyukuri hartanya.

Explanation: In these times of corporate down-sizing and union strikes, many people are opting for a good Used Car, instead of buying a new one. – Other people have decided to sell their second or third cars and bank the money.
The Sellers and Buyers first contact the customary Used Car Dealers. – These operators, like yourself, are in their business to make a profit. So, they must buy at a fair wholesale price, and sell at a higher retail price
in order to make their profit. Even though this is nothing more than good business, many sellers refuse
to sell their cars for what they consider to be “less than value” – considering value, of course, at retail. On the other hand, many buyers feel that the retail prices asked by Used Car Dealers are excessive. For these reasons, many sellers decide to sell their cars themselves, to make more money. And, many buyers decided to buy directly from an individual owner to save money. This ready-made market is yours for the tapping. If you handle it the right way, you could make a fortune and render a much needed service in your community.
- HOW TO -
In most states, you must have a license to sell Automobiles. Since getting this license can cost you a good deal of time and money, I suggest that you DO NOT sell automobiles. – That sounds like I have put you out of business before you started, but, actually, this license fact can make you rich. If you got a Dealer’s License, you would be just another Used Car Dealer. The sellers wouldn’t want to deal with you, and the buyers would think you were cheating them, too. – Judging you like all other Used Car Dealers.
What Do You Sell, if you don’t sell cars? – Simple! – You sell a form of Advertising space that brings the prospective buyers into contact with the individual owner/seller.
First, you will need to find a vacant lot where you can display the Used Cars. These lots can usually be rented from the owner for a small amount; because they are just sitting idle, producing no income, and costing taxes. Once you have located a lot, and made arrangements to use it, set up a sign on the street, reading: “USED CARS – For Sale By Owners” (make the sign readable from both directions).
You make your MONEY by letting owners/sellers set their cars on this lot. You charge them a fee of $20 per month for each car they leave on display. (This price is much lower than what it would cost to run a classified ad in the Newspaper for one month.)
NOTE: The $20 per month fee was the fee I charged over 30 years ago. Today, check with your local newspaper to see how much it costs to run a classified ad offering a car for sale. Figure how much it would be to run the ad for 1 month; then, set your price at from one-third to one-half of that price.
To get your first Used Cars to display on your lot, pick up a copy of your local Newspaper and phone the people who are advertising their cars for sale. Explain your service to them and ask them to meet you at the lot – sign them up. (See details further on.)
In order to get more and more cars for display, run a Classified Ad, something like this:
“SELLING YOUR CAR? Sell it faster on display. Phone: ….”
Have the people who call in response to the ad bring their car and meet you at the lot. When they arrive at the lot, tell them something like this:
“In order to sell your car, you need to advertise it For Sale. Newspaper Advertising is fine, but people can’t see your car in the Ad. Here on the lot, they can look at it, think about it, and call you if they are at all
interested. Using Newspaper ads, you have to show your car to a lot of people who really aren’t interested. It costs you money for the ad and then more money to show it to people who respond. Here on the lot, the people see the car. They only call you if they are really interested. – PLUS – We run ads constantly to bring prospective buyers to the lot to look at the cars on display.”
If the owner/seller wants to leave his car on display, get him to sign an Advertising Agreement and pay one month, in advance. Your advertising agreement can read something like this:
“I, the undersigned, hereby authorize….(your name)….to display my car
“For Sale” on his lot, located
at ….(lot address).
“For this service, I agree to pay $XX (amount depending upon the economy in your community), in advance, per month for display space. I understand that….(your name)…will not endeavor to sell my car for me, but will advertise the lot and its location in order to bring prospective buyers to see my car and others on display.
“If the prospective buyer wishes to test drive or inspect my car further, it will be my responsibility
to make such arrangements with the prospective buyer. I will pay NO sales commission or fees beyond my
display space rental.
“I further understand that ….(your name)…assumes no liability for loss, damage, or injury incurred by having my car on display on his lot.”
Date:
Signature
NOTE: Be sure to include seller’s Name, Address, and Telephone Number on the
Agreement.
After the owner has signed the Agreement (two copies) and paid the first month’s rent, put a sign in the window of the car, showing: Price, Owner’s Name, Telephone Number, and Times to call. (Get a set of bright-colored Magic Markers.)
In order to bring prospective buyers to see the cars on display, run a classified ad, something like this:
“USED CARS For Sale By Owners. See them on display at …(lot address)..” Once you get a few cars on the lot, you will have people stopping to look at the cars all the time. Put up a sign at the back of the lot, telling the people to:
LOOK AROUND – Call the owners to test-drive the cars you like. – Buy direct from the Owner. – NO Sales Agents or Commissions to pay. – Phone…(your phone number)…if you want to display your car For Sale on this lot. It won’t be too long before your lot will be full of cars and people looking at them. – After just a short time, it will become the place to go looking for a good Used Car, in your area. Fifty (50) Cars, at only $20 per month, will bring-in $1,000 per month. Your costs of Advertising and lot rent will probably be around $250 per month, so you can make an easy 75% profit; with NO WORK!
- HINTS -
1) After you get going, it would be a good idea to have the telephone company put four or five pay-phones on the side of your lot; so the buyers can call the sellers, then and there. – You’ll also be able to pick-up a
few bucks from the telephone company each month, for the calls they make from your pay phones.
2) In order to get your lot, you might offer the property owner a percentage of your gross instead of a flat monthly rental, until the lot proves profitable.
NOTE: A friend of mine rents unused space on the parking lots at shopping
centers;
on the weekends. He uses bright colored flags and tape – with signs on each corner – to mark his space. Charges the sellers $20 for the weekend. Advertises “CARS For Sale By Owners – Saturday & Sunday only – 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. – (name & location of the shopping center)” He even has a Finance Company agent on hand to offer ‘financing’ for the cars – for which he gets a ‘commission’ on each car they finance.
3) ADDITIONAL REVENUE: You can offer the seller/owner a clean-up service for his car. Charge him or her about half the going rate in your area (check with the “car detailers” in your area) to wax & shine the car,
vacuum it out, and generally clean it up for display. – Hire high-school kids to do the actual work for 50% – or – let the Boy Scouts, or some other group, do it as a fund raising project.
4) You can reduce your Advertising cost by setting up a contract with the Newspapers to run both of your classified ads every day for a set amount per month.
5) In the beginning, you can let Used Car Dealers set some of their cars on your lot – if they pay your price – using their name and home phone number (not their business number) in the window of the car.
6) WARNING – DO NOT, repeat DO NOT, get involved in the sales of the cars. If you do, you might have to get a Dealer’s License.
7) DO NOT have an office on the lot. Let your signs tell the prospective buyers what to do. Also, notify the Police so they can drive through your lot at night.
Keeping with my philosophy of not doing anything that you can get someone else to do for you: Get someone to answer the phone calls, get the Agreements signed, etc. – pay them 25% of what they take in. You’ll still make a bundle.
9) After you get your first lot operating, why not set up similar lots in all the surrounding towns. – An easy way to compound your earnings.
NOTE: Shortly after this report was originally published, one man used a rather unique twist and is making bundles of MONEY every weekend. – Instead of renting a lot, and displaying cars there, this fellow uses down-town covered parking garages (the ones with 4, 5, or 6 floors) on Sundays; when they aren’t being used.
He charges each owner/seller a small fee to park his car in the garage on Sunday, then advertises the For Sale by Owner showing of cars on TV and in the Newspapers. Then, he charges each buyer $1 to get into the parking garage to look around. And, you might want to add a Finance Company agent; like my friend did on the shopping center parking lots. – This might be just the extra angle you need to make this operation pay-off like a broken slot machine for you.

Explanation: Fantastic as it may seem, this idea had its origination with my mother-in-law. She has a pair of “Green Thumbs” and her house is covered with flowers, vines and the like.
On a weekend visit, I made a comment about her lovely flowers. Her response astounded me. It seems that each year she gives away dozens of her plants to friends, neighbors, relatives and acquaintances just to get the plants out of her house. She said that, if she didn’t, the house would soon be overgrown.
These comments prompted me to investigate the florist business. The discoveries I made indicate that there is a vast fortune to be made in this field without ever growing one plant.
There are literally millions of women, like my mother-in-law, in this country who delight in growing flowers in their homes. These women do it for the enjoyment of having living plants decorating their homes – BUT –
after some time, their homes become overcrowded with plants. Unable, by their nature, to destroy or discard any of their plants, they give them away to anyone who will have them. Florists, at the same time, are selling the very same plants for a fabulous (almost 100%) profit. Because of the nature of the florist business, you can make yourself a small fortune by becoming a “Flower Broker.”
- HOW TO -
First, of course, you must locate some of the ladies in your area who grow flowers and the like. This is not at all difficult. Just ask women you know which one of their friends grow flowers in their homes. You will be
amazed at the number of women who do. (There are some men who do, too – but – mostly women.)
Even before you meet the ladies who grow flowers in their homes, go around to the various florist shops in your area and do some browsing. Check out what kinds of potted plants they sell. – How much they get for the various sizes of each plant. – What kind of pots or planters the plants are sold in, and which plants they seem to have the greatest quantity of and which the least (florists stock more of the plants they sell the most).
It is best to check-out as many florist shops as you can. Be sure to write down all of the information and details you have observed at each shop.
Once you have a pretty fair idea of the prices, etc., at the florist shops, get in touch with the ladies who grow those plants in their homes. The contact with these ladies should be in person. (See Hint #1.)
Here’s how to approach these ladies:
1) TELL her that you heard from a mutual friend or acquaintance that she had a “Green Thumb” and that her flowers and plants were some of the loveliest in the are (a little “soft soap” never hurt anyone).
2) ASK her if she has ever thought of making a few “extra dollars” from her hobby (somewhere deep inside, each of these ladies would like to own their own florist shop or green house).
3) TELL her that you are setting up a deal with ladies like her who grow plants in their homes, so they can make some extra money from their hobby. She has the talent, enjoys doing it, and already has plants growing – why not make a little money at it too?
4) OFFER her this deal: If she is interested, you will supply her with a price list showing how much you will pay for various plants (see Hint #4). She in turn will keep you updated with a list of plants she has available (how many and what kind). You will sell those plants for her, then come by and pay for them when you pick them up.
REMEMBER: These ladies are already growing plants so, you don’t have to
convince them to grow a few more – especially since they can make a few
dollars doing it.
- SELLING THE PLANTS -
There are a number of ways to sell the plants you will be getting from your
“Growers,” such as:
1) Run a classified ad in your local newspaper, and newspapers in the
surrounding area, something like this:
“POTTED PLANTS – Call me before you call a high-priced florist.
Phone:…..”
When someone calls, ask them what the occasion is, then give them a list of the flowers you have available from your “Growers.” Also, tell them what kind of pots and planters you have available. (See Hint #5.)
When they order the plant, pick it up from the “Grower” and deliver it to the person who ordered it and get the cash.
NOTE: Keep your “Quality” standards high. If you go to pick up a plant and that “Grower” only has some rather frail looking plants available, simply tell her you can’t sell them. (Always have a second source for every kind of plant.) –
By the way, this won’t happen very often; if every, because the ladies who grow plants in their homes love their plants too much to even offer you a frail plant.
2) Place placards in all of the hospitals in your area, something like
this:
“LIVING PLANTS for your loved ones. Call me before you call a high-priced florist. Phone:…..”
3) WHOLESALE. Sell plants in lots to florists (see Hint #6). Go around to some plant nurseries that supply your local florists and find out how much they get for the various plants. Offer your local florists plants at
a little better price.
4) Right before a special occasion, run a classified ad offering the flower
of that occasion; such as carnations for Mother’s Day, something like this:
“MOTHER’S DAY CARNATIONS, alive in planters – can’t wilt. Call me before you call a high-priced florist. Phone:…..” (See Hint #7.)
This kind of business usually snowballs once it gets going. People who order from you once, reorder and tell their friends. In no time at all, you can be making a few thousand dollars per month.
- HINTS -
1) In locating your “Growers,” it is not a good idea to advertise because you don’t want the local florist shops to know your source. Each “Grower” you contact will probably put you in contact with two or three other like herself. Also, check with any “Gardening Clubs” in your area.
2) Unless you plan on growing some plants yourself, it is not necessary to learn about potting procedures, flowering cycles, growth time, etc. – Your “Growers” will know all of those things from experience. If you need to know something, ASK one of them.
3) Keeping with my philosophy of letting other people make the money for you; find someone who can nswer calls for you, pick up and deliver the flowers, and keep your lists of available updated. Give this person 50% of your profits.
– A good choice for this job is a retired woman who has a phone, wants to made a few dollars to supplement her Social Security, and wants to stay active meeting people.
4) PRICING. Your pricing – the amount you pay your “Growers” and the price you sell the plants for – is to be determined by the current price structures of the florist shops in your area. Don’t try to cut their prices by much, but do offer your customers prices about 15% to 25% lower than theirs. Pay your “Growers” about 50% of the price for which you will be selling the plants.
5) PLANTERS. Add to your profits immensely by offering planters of various styles. These planters can be obtained from wholesale houses – or – you can make even more money by offering hand-made planters made by local hand crafters. – Just have your “Grower” change the plant over to the planter when you go to pick it up for delivery.
6) WHOLESALING. After you have found out the going wholesale prices of the plant nurseries for various plants, ask one of your “Growers” how long it would take to start from clippings and have available 100 whatever type) plants.
Go to the florists and offer to supply 100 of those plants by (date) at a price below the nursery price. When the florist places an order, get your “Growers” to make clippings and start the plants ( 5 Growers x 20 plants each = 100 plants). Pay your “Growers” about 50% of what you get from the florists.
7) SPECIAL OCCASION FLOWERS. Each holiday has a flower or plant which is considered most appropriate for giving: such as Carnations for Mother’s Day – and – Poinsettias for Christmas; etc. – ASK your “Growers” how long it takes to get these flowers ready from clippings to be ready on the right holiday.
Have each “Grower” start a number of that particular flower in advance of the holiday so it will be ready for delivery on the holiday.
Always tell your customers that you do not sell “Cut Flowers” because they soon wilt, whereas, potted plants can stay lovely for many years to come.
Do Yourself a Favor – become a “Flower Broker.”

mau bikin usaha dan bisnis apapun pasti butuh modal, kalau sudah masuk dalam urusan modal uang sebanyak apapun bisa terasa sedikit bila sudah digunakan untuk bisnis. makanya tak heran banyak pengusaha yang bila kendala bisnis yang dihadapi adalah modal dan dana. Bagi mereka yang sudah bisa menjalankan bisnis dan tinggal mengembangakan mencari modal lebih mudah karena para investor bisa lebih berani memberikan dananya kepada para pengusaha yang sudah mapan.
kalau baru mulai buka gimana ya, caranya dapat modal untuk buka usaha baru? tentu lebih sulit , karena kemampuan kita sebagai pemula belum terbukti bisa menjalankan usaha. Tapi jangan jadikan modal sebagai alasan bagi anda untuk berhenti memulai usaha, modal usaha yang penting justru pada mental anda untuk berani nekat dan kreatif dalam mencari modal uang itu sendiri. sebagai masukan saya berikan bebertapa cara mencari modal usaha dengan cara nekat dan beranai :
- Pertama pinjam, meminjam uang untuk usaha memang kayaknya terasa miris bagi beberapa orang dan mungkin ada yang merasa malu karena gak pernah ngutang. tapi kalau anda perhatikan ternyata semua perusahaan di dunia ini juga punya utang… jadi intinya utang piutang itu memang udah biasa dalam hal bisnis. kenapa anda takut? takut gak bisa melunasi? tips dari saya, kalau anda masih dalam status punya utang jangan pernah menganggap punya modal dalam jumlah besar. sebesar apapun uang yang anda pinjam itu tetap milik orang lain. ketika meminjam, berdoalah kepada Tuhan agar dia melunasi utang anda, dengan adanya kekuatan doa ini secara tidak langsung anda membagun kekuatan dari dalam untuk bisa melunasi uitang ini. Mengatur keuangan dengan ketat. beberapa sumber yang bisa dijadikan rujukan uang berhutang, antara lain saudara, teman, sesama pebisnis dan yang terakhir bank .
- Menjual aset, kalao anda merasa yakin dengan usaha yang anda jalankan kemungkinan akan sukses gak ada salahnya anda menjual aset anda seperti mobil, tanah, rumah, furniture untuk modal usaha. jangan takut untuk sedikit gila dan nekat dalam menjalankan usaha. kenyataannya, para pebisnis sukses berasal dari keberanian meraka mengambil resiko dan berbuat nekat.
- Modal konsumen, kenyataannya beberapa bisnis bisa dijalankan dengan menggunakan uag dari konsumen terlebih dahulu alias DP. misalkan anda menjalankan bisnis makanan untuk acara hajatan. kalau memang baru gak punya uang, coba saja untuk meminta pembayar dimuka bsebesar sekian persen yang penting produksi bisa jalan sisanya yaitu keuntungan anda diminta nanti setelah pesanan selesai. Model bisnis yang seperti ini biasanya adalah bisnis jasa yang membutuhkan waktu cukup lama sehingga uang yang diperoleh bisa dimanfaatkan .
sebetulnya asalkan, kita berani sedikit mengambil tindakan dan kreatif, masalah modal bukanlah halangan . Yang terpenting adalah tekat dan terus berusaha . anda tidak harus terpaku pada tiga cara di atas ada banyak jalan menuju sukses..
salam sukses

Explanation:
In almost every community in this nation, there is an
“Auction House” of some kind. These establishments usually hold regularly scheduled Auctions.
If you have ever gone to one of these Auctions, you have probably noticed that everything from broken furniture to “new” appliances are sold to the highest bidder. And, almost anything can be sold for something.”
AUCTIONS are one of the very few places where you can actually make
“something” from almost “nothing.” As a matter of fact, you can literally turn “nearly nothing” into a solid fortune.
- HOW TO -
Your first step to making a “bunch of bucks” at Auction Sales is to
familiarize yourself with the Auctions in your area. Find out where and
when they are held. Who the Auctioneers are. What kind of items sell
best. To locate the Auction Houses in your area, check the telephone directory yellow pages, under the general heading, “AUCTIONEERS.” Call and ask if they have an Auction House, where it is located, and when the Auctions are held. Also, watch the Classified Ads in your local newspapers for announcements of coming Auctions.
Before attempting to use the Auctions to make money, go to a few Auctions. When you go, take a note-pad and pencil and make notes of “what” is sold and how much it brings. This will give you a pretty good idea of the value of seemingly worthless items.
NOTE: DON’T make the mistake of going to just one Auction and assuming you have a good-enough idea about prices, etc. Do yourself a favor and attend at least 5 or 6 Auctions.
While attending these Auctions, you will slowly, but surely, come to the conclusion that people will actually buy anything (and I do mean literally anything) at an Auction. You will see real “junk” being sold for prices you will not believe.
Once you have attended a few of these Auctions, check with the Auctioneer and find out how much he charges to sell items for you. In most cases, his charges will be in the neighborhood of 20% of the amount the item sells for. Also, find out when you should have your items at the Auction House, so they can be marked and entered for Auction. When you have all of these facts in hand (coupled with your notes on items and prices), you are ready to start making money. All you need now are some items to sell at the Auctions. Take your notes, go down to the Basement, up to the Attic, or out to the Garage – these are the places people most commonly store discarded “stuff.”
Look over the items you have but no longer have a use for. These can be your first Auction items and can generate some quick cash to get you really started.
Get all of these items out where you can clean them up. Wash the items
that are washable. Use a Vacuum Cleaner to clean off dust and cob-webs. Use a cheap furniture polish on wooden surfaces and try a spray-on Rug Shampoo to clean upholstered items. Make any minor repairs, such as tightening screws, nailing loose pieces, and the like.
NOTE: DO NOT make major repairs or try to refurbish items. Leave that for the buyer to do. Most Auction Buyers buy to save money by fixing things themselves. Just make your items presentable.
When you have these items cleaned-up, deliver them to the Auction House on the proper day, so they can be sold at the next Auction. One of the real beauties of selling by Auction is that you do none of the actual selling. And, the Auctioneer will do his dead-level-best to sell everything at its highest possible price (it means more commission to him).
Before advising you on where and how to get more items to sell at Auctions, let’s get into the Auction process itself. This way, you will know how to help the Auctioneer get top-dollar for your items and make more money for you.
To do this, go to the Auction where your items will be sold. When one of your items comes up, pay close attention to the bidding. If no one makes an opening bid for your item, bid on it yourself.
Should it be necessary to make this first bid yourself, keep it very, very
low – say $1 or less. This will prompt the other bidders to bid it up, because they don’t want you to get the item so cheap. Further along, if the bidding stops, and you really don’t want to sell that item for the last bid offered, make another bid just a little-bit above the last bid. This will usually start the bidding again and increase the price.
If the bidding does not start up again, and you end up buying one of your own items, you only pay about one-half the regular commission to the Auctioneer. And, you still have the item to sell at another Auction. (Be sure to check these percentages with the Auctioneer before you take the items to the Auction.)
NOTE: Buyers at Auctions are a curious breed. They buy, like anyone else, to get the best buy for their money, but they are also intrigued by the action; the battle of bidding-wits. Winning the bid means a victory, so, if they really think they want the item, they will make every effort to “win the bid” (purest competition). This quirk gives you, the seller, the maximum edge; no matter who “wins the bid,” you come out the real victor with cash in your pockets.
Even if you buy your own item, all is not lost. I have seen a number of
instances when, after the Auction, the party you “beat-out” for the bid
will come to you and offer you a “profit” on your purchase, if you will only sell them the item for a few bucks more than you supposedly paid for it. The most important piece of advice I can give you about attending the Auctions is to get to know the Auctioneers. Let them know what items are yours. Then, during the Auction, they will sneak a look in your direction when your items are on the block. This will allow you to signal them whether or not to sell for the last bid; giving you the chance to determine your own profit.
NOTE: Although I have given you a general outline of the procedures to follow at the Auctions, once again I will advise you to go to your local Auctions to learn, first-hand, the procedures and attitudes that prevail.
BECAUSE -
each Auction has its own personality. Once you have sold the discarded items from your own Basement, Attic, or Garage, you should understand the process well enough to start getting other items
to sell for a profit at the Auctions. There are literally so many different places to locate and acquire items to sell at Auctions that a full scale book couldn’t cover them all. This being the case, I will attempt to give you a few general ideas so you can develop the others.
1) Keep your eyes open for people moving from one residence (or apartment) to another. Inevitably there will be some items they are leaving behind.
Drop- by and ASK if there are any items they intend leaving. If there are, ASK if you can have them – or – after you know “what” items they are leaving, offer them $10, or so, for ALL of the items.
2) READ the Classified Ads in the newspapers. After you have attended a good number of Auctions, you will pretty well know what items will sell, and for how much. By studying the Classified Ads, you can come across items that people are selling for less than the same items will bring at the Auctions.
3) Listen to your friends, neighbors, and relatives. If they have bought
new furniture and/or appliances, find out what they did with the old ones. Offer to haul it away for them – or – offer them a few bucks for everything.
4) Keeping in mind the kind of items and how much they bring at the
Auctions, attend all of the Flea Markets, Garage Sales, and Yard Sales you can. If you see any items that bring good prices at the Auctions, buy them. When buying them, DON’T be afraid to “haggle.” Get the best possible price so you can make more at the Auctions.
5) Every community has some kind of Sanitary Landfill (Garbage Dump). Find out where it is located in your community. Go out and browse around every week or so. You will be absolutely amazed at the “good stuff” people throw away.
Pick-
up what you can sell at the Auctions. NOTE: It used to be that anyone could just wander around the Garbage Dump and pick-up whatever discards they wanted. Today, in our more officious society, some cities, towns, counties or states require you to pay a fee, or have a license, to scrounge around in the landfill; others don’t. Check out your local requirements.
6) Drive around your community, or through the sub-divisions. Keep your eyes open for good items setting around in the yards, car-ports, or near the Garbage Cans. Stop and ASK if you can haul the items away for them. If not, ASK if there are any items they no longer use that they want to sell. Make a deal to buy everything for one price.
NOTE: If you offer a man $1 for a discarded chair, he will probably laugh at you. BUT, if you offer him $10 for 15 items, he will usually jump-on-it.
Always remember to ASK the person you are dealing with if they will
throw-in this item and that item, or “what about this?” Get all of the
items together, then make the $10 or $20 offer. A ten-dollar bill looks
mighty big, if the person selling realizes that he is getting cash for
something he can’t use anyway.
As you can see from the few examples listed, there are countless ways, and places, you can get items for nothing, or nearly nothing, to take to the Auctions. Always remember, the majority of people either do not know about selling at the Auctions, or they just don’t want to bother with what they consider “too much time and trouble.”
Take the “time and trouble” to follow up on the Auction Sales and you
should be able to enjoy $500 to $1,000 per week in solid income; with very little effort and, almost no investment (other than your time).
- HINTS -
1) If you live in, or near, a City, go outside the City to the various Farm
Auctions. Buy items at these Auctions that city-dwellers might want or need (such as hand tools, bolts & nuts, nails, etc.). Take these items to the City Auctions
- or – vice versa; buying in the City Auctions and selling in the country
Auctions.
2) Watch for Closeouts & Bankruptcies. Buy up the new merchandise
(sometimes as low as 5¢ on the dollar) in bulk and have the Auctioneers sell it for you at the Auctions.
NOTE: This one area alone has made a “great” number of solid fortunes.
USE IT!!
NEVER – repeat – NEVER – tell anyone at the Auction that you are there
selling anything. If they know you are selling something at the Auction, they will not bid on the items on which you are trying to jack-up the prices.
4) One of the best ways to locate and acquire items to sell at the Auctions is to run a Classified Ad in your local newspaper, something like this:
“WANTED – Used Furniture, Appliances, Radios, TVs, Musical Instruments,
Tools, etc. Check your Attic or Basement and telephone: (your number).”
When people respond to the Ad, don’t even try to talk a deal over the
phone. Get their address and drop-by to see them. Look over everything they have to offer and offer them one-price for everything they have.
Don’t be afraid to haggle; keeping your costs as low as possible.
REMEMBER: An offer of $1 for one item may be laughed at – BUT – an offer of $10 for a dozen items may well be accepted.
- INTERNET UPDATE -
If you have ever thought of getting involved in the Internet Auctions (like eBay), go ahead – BUT – you’ll make a lot more money, faster and easier at your local Auctions than you will ever make online. – Plus you don’t have to wait to be paid, you don’t have to do any shipping and handling, and you don’t have to be worried about getting stiffed by one of your “unseen” buyers. – The Auctioneer will handle all of it for you and you’ll get paid just as soon as the auction is over … usually in just a matter of hours (rather than days or weeks).

do you want make more money via your link text ads of infolinks ? make minimum $100 a day from infolink is become easy if you do a little effort such as choose right background color.
last a few minutes, I have see around and go to metrics tab. and awesome there is very usefull info about infolinks test study. infolinks do some little survey to what kind color of best earning publisher site. from study Infolinks analyzed their networks’ top earning websites by dividing them according to background color.
Among the top 100 Infolinks earning websites 55% have a white background, followed by 15% blue and 13% black. Among the top 500 Infolinks websites the results were quite different, only 29% have a white background, 23% have a blue background and 21% have black.
Among the top 500 earning websites the background color division is relatively equal, while among the top 100 earning websites the white background clearly dominates.
The fact that websites with white backgrounds are simply more common could very well be the reason why they are the top earners, but if one looks deeper it could be attributed to our preference to read black on white, or merely because a white background appears to be more professional.
