Auction, Buying to Sell

Options
Hello All
I am based in Berkshire and would like to make some extra income. Does anyone know the best place to buy stuff to sell on ie auction or wholesalers. I just need to make a bit extra. I already work a 50 / 60 hour week and still seem to have more week than wages:mad:

    Unless you have lots of time then auctions might not be possible as it is very time consuming and many tend to be weekdays and not weekends.

    I can spend 7 hours or so on an average short auction, I have to drive there, park, view items and make notes, 4 hours to buy, a couple of hours moving stuff four and home again.

    Longer auctions can take a couple of days as I go the day before to view.

    Hi Lee, It's really hard to work more than 45 hours week. I am also doing work 40 hours/week/ You want to buy staff and sell and want to earn money. It's a good idea but you have to buy the stuff in minimum price and have sell with some benefit. USA people usually do this business in online store like craiglist and ebay. But my suggestion is, you can do affiliation. It's a open field to earn money. I am also doing this. Best of luck..
