well, I made $37 while I was sleeping last night, selling crappy old books on Amazon.
I know I said just Ebay, but I think Amazon is better for books.
At a yardsale, you can buy hardcover books for less than $1 each, you can buy a baby carseat for $3, a bread machine for $5, clothing for $1 per item, etc...
My strategy is to find the exact item and sell it for the lowest price (even if it's only 2 cents cheaper).
With this in mind, are things really as dim as you say?

I make way more than $300 a week waitressing- but I CAN live off of that.
Space isn't too much of an issue, and I honestly woudn't mind spending 35 hours a week of my time for $300 if I don't have to work for someone else!
