Anybody have a good side hustle?

[bearded1]

I've seen lots of discussion threads on a huge amount of topics on this board so I thought to myself, why not? Lets see what everybody does.

I'm wondering if any of you guys out there have any good "side hustles," or home-based businesses, etc. Just looking for secondary source of cash, not your primary job. I'm looking to make a little more cash to fund my obsessive car hobby and belly, just wanna see some posts on what you guys do (there's surely somebody out there)!

And just to clarify, the word "hustle" is used loosely here, you need neither swagger nor to be pimpin' to apply


SO what is it you do? Ebay? Shadetree mechanic? Lawncare? Shoe shine? Somebody out there is bound to have something interesting to share, so everybody participate and lets get some ideas flowing!

I hide drugs in the cars I ship across the country.

That's how I can afford 4 of these cars...

Local estate sales/auctions & eBay seem to mix well for me...Guess it doesn't hurt when I make all of my money back & then some + keep the better things for my own collection or to sell at a later date to cover those last-minute impulse (or required) buys for the car.

My best sale to date was a $40 box of vintage toys that I ended up flipping on eBay for $160 & I kept two or three of the better, higher-priced items for myself (~$100 more).

I also do okay with buying damaged hobbyist-grade R/Cs on eBay, fixing them up, & reselling them again on eBay...

This. A friend of mine is an estate sale hound, she goes to every one around here, and she tells me when there are electronics for sale. Last time I went, I bought a Pioneer Elite receiver (forgot what model number, for $100 when it was $550 new. Sold it on CL for $300. Found a Velodyne sub at another sale, it was like $1200 new, got it for $200, but I kept that and sold my old sub.

I also do home theater installs on rare occasions, but I don't really enjoy that, no matter how much I'm getting paid. Working in an attic in TX is too damn hot most of the year.

I do a little mechanic work on the side cars/motorcycles. Recently, got a tire changer and balancer so going to start doing that too. Usually at the end of the year I have a few hundred in scrap metal from a years worth of work, so makes a nice Christmas bonus.

I am thinking of next year starting up doing a automobile a/c recharge side job, just buy my equipment and offer recharges at around $60 per car. Since I am federaly licensed I just have to keep the income under a certain amount and hopefully will be able to make a decent amount of side money. Also might look into on weekends getting a job with a local a/c company.

Headlights, throttle bodies, and polishing... that funds my obsessions.
