What do you guys do for extra income?

[thectrlguy]

Don't forget copper rain gutters, or high voltage electrical cables (with the power on of course - google it)...... AC units... like the guys that ripped the pipes from a refrigeration unit at a food bank (total loss of food 500K)...

How about you steal some light poles? Story is 2 years old, but it still unforgettable.... 160 poles stolen and scrapped.

theres nothing that legally states you cant buy and sell books.

I told Barnes and Nobles a relative bought these for me here a few weeks ago, and didn't give me the reciept, but I'd like to return them. I don't think that has any basis for any type of charge either way.

steal/ripoff people on textbooks.

offer friends like $5 for a book you "need". flip the book a week later to the bookstore.

I almost got expelled from school and a felony for that shit. I bought a set of windows 2000 books from my vo-tech school, in the wrappers, for $15. Turned around and "returned" them to Barnes and Nobles for about $390. They gave me a gift card which went on ebay immediately afterwards. More people did it, and one fuckin dipshit wore his vo-tech shirt when doing it. So they called our vo-tech, told them, and next thing ya know I'm in the office, Barnes and Nobles has contacted the authorities, and we are all having a big cluster fuck meeting to decide whats going to happen. They kept threatening I would be getting expelled and will be charged with a felony offense. I got away with no punishment (there's probably not a lot of legal grounding for anything). I just had to return the card. My teachers hated me and wouldn't say a word to me the rest of the year. They also told me I wouldn't be able to walk into Barnes and Nobles ever again. hah, I went in like 3 weeks later to buy some magazines.

I actually bought 2 sets of those windows 2000 books from vo-tech.

The other set, I sold to my college a year later for $200 with their book buying program

I do a few things for some extra cash. Not a whole lot but its easy as hell.

First, I dumpster dive. Its really profitable.... Staples throws away the best shit ever. Some of the best scores I get are: empty ink, they don't recycle it like they should. Its worth a ton on ebay. Each 1/2 full garbage bag of it is worth $300-500. Software, I got two brand new box loads of norton AV, we ended up selling all of it for $600. I also just acquired a ton of peachtree accounting software. I haven't put it on ebay yet, but estimates are I will make another $500 or so.

This summer me and my buddies have gotten maybe $3k worth of shit, and maybe $1500 in resale. A lot of stuff we keep just because its a bitch to sell. Like office chairs, we just got a SUPER nice chair, brand new, $400 at staples with a 10 year warranty. I also got a brand new $300 filing cabinate that was discontinued, it weights like one fucking metric ton, so I just keep it in my room to put shit in.

Game places are good too. I recently got a brand new 360 DDR pad, couple ps2 controllers, memory cards etc. The best joke with this stuff is I go in the next day and sell it back to the store lol. Thats how I ended up paying for my brother bday present from game stop. I took all the crap they threw out a few weeks previously, turned it all back in, then bought him a wii game.

sweeeeeeeet, i love r3v

Stealing catalytic converters and selling them to shady metal recyclers..... Toyota Tundras are best......

(Disclaimer - only because this is R3V: The above noted statement is untrue, I do not partake, encourage, or condone illegal activities - respectfully, the management)

I, for one, would be thrilled to come out in the morning and have a modified, free flowing exhaust. I don't see why this type of activity is illegal.

Seriously though, there was a thing on my local news, I guess ~10 cars got the cats cut off a few nights ago in a city near me. I couldn't help but laugh. Imagine this lady going out to start her new Lexus. She gets in, turns the key, and it sounds like a built 5.0 with a glass pack. That's fucking funny.

I wish I could be part of the "J-CREW"

I'm jealous....

Cylinder Head porting is my thing. I'm starting to get busy now with two tuner shops wanting my work. I might have to do this full time, or at least drop some time at my day job and seriously look at getting garage space!

[blunttech]

I make M10 turbo manifolds for extra $$ plus it gives me an excuse to be
in the garage.

i hate to jump to conclusions before knowing all the facts but id swear that looks like the infamous "RAPID SPOOL" turbo manifold ive heard so much about.

where do you find out about these home auctions?

local newspapers, they should list the ones open to the public, it's an estate sale most of the time too (house, car, and unwanted or all contents of the house.)
