With these hard economic times upon us, I was wondering what people do on the side (or up front, for those without a 9-5) to make money. What do you do? How much time does it take? What do you make from it? How's business been lately?Its always interesting to see what people are up to.And if you're doing something super-top-secret, feel free to be as generic as you need to be.

    My friend walks around the city and picks up discarded treasure on trash nights. He's gotten:
    Gold and Platinum RIAA record awards
    Records
    Autographs
    Gold and silver coins
    Antique coins
    Signed art
    Antique furniture
    Cds
    DVDS
    VHS
    and never has to buy a pen or a piece of paper in his lifetime.

    I had a nice ebay hustle selling Drank...but I guess their distribution has improved as the market has kinda dried up on ebay...I was selling about $700 worth of the stuff a month. The best hustle was selling it by the case, I would sell it for buy it now, $110. As soon as I got the paypal payment, I would just click my way over to the drank website where you could have a case sent anywhere in the US for $55. Easy money.

    People wised up and I just started selling 3 packs for $12, that went well for a few months, but I havent sold any in a month or so...

    so, Im back to record slangin'

    I hope so, its awesome.

    It's like a real life "work from home, hold no inventory, get rich quick" scheme. Very impressive.
