Another point. You need to consider the balance between supply and demand. If you can quickly sell anything you can get your hands on, and it is easy for you to get your hands on things (you are resourceful), you can keep your prices lower than the other sellers. If your prices are noticeably lower than everybody else's, and your stuff is just as good, your stuff will move while their stuff sits. You have to keep your product costs down to maintain your profit margin, but can do well with volume. You will also do well to keep product quality up, since you may wind up bumping into your customers again. Referrals are always better than rebukes. For maximum profit, you should try to "cherry pick" your merchandise. For maximum fun and satisfaction, that curbside treasure may be just what the doctor ordered. Overall, need to keep business and hobby side in balance.
