That being said, no, I don't think it's the quick fix for poverty. It took my parents a long time before they figured out how to turn it into a steady income, and that required a decent amount of time and money investment.


Spot on, man. I've dabbled in this a few times myself, most seriously around mid 2000's where you could sell used cable modems to small internet providers. These things were dirt at the thrift stores, but sold online for at least $20.

But, unless you devote all of your time into buying and selling, you're not going to make much of a living.
