Buy low, and sell high! How many times have you heard this before?

In the world of business, it is perhaps the single best advice anyone could receive! Why, you ask? Well, it’s the true path to making a killing (in other words: a ton of cash). And in order to make money, you need to know two important details: the right time to buy and the right time to sell. For instance, if you can buy something for a mere dollar and then turn around and sell it for $5, then you’ve just made some money/profit (cool, huh?).

Ok, she did it – she forced you to sell your stuff (she called it junk). Again!

You’ve played this game before, but somehow only wound up making like $15 for the thousands you spent on the stuff in the first place. This time however, you did it right: you got your ad in the paper early (two weeks early to be exact) and you posted it all over Craigslist. People have been calling you all week about it, because you were smart enough to put your phone number in the ad, which stated, “Call if you have any questions.” Timing and placement of your ads are certainly critical, and you have this all covered. Good for you!

On the date of this big event, you have a lot of good things to sell (despite what she says) and only a little time to do it in. It’s the night before the big event and you’re starting to get nervous now, so let me help you out — I’ve done this lots and lots of times already, and I consider myself somewhat of an expert. If you truly want to make back some of the money that the retailers “stole” from you, and you also want to keep your shoppers honest, please read on …
