I've been selling some analog and digital
test equipment, some synth
and music-related stuff, and some computer stuff. NeXT Dimension
boards, for example...I had about a dozen of them, and most of them
went for around $400/ea.
Were you buying and reselling, or selling old gear you
already owned? It's been
profitable enough to pay my
$1400/mo rent and my $700/mo car payment, as well as other bills...no
"think" to it, if I hadn't been doing this, I'd be bankrupt...or
worse, working a 9-5 schedule, being taken advantage of by suits and
having clueless MCSEs trying to take credit for my work.
Now there's something to flame about. It's not uncommon, though.
