What do you guys do for extra income?

I I also hit up salvage yards for pricey items. Windows switches are good! I just started doing this and its turned out to be pretty profitable.

That's true. Ever since I learned how to fix the E30 instrument cluster I have been on a mission to find them in the junkyard. The last one I bought, I paid $40 for it, fixed the gear and then sold it on Craigslist for $120. I guess it also helped that the unit had less than 150K on it.

Home auctions, poor turnout in poor weather, you get some steals, you never know what you might find in the bottom or a $1 box. I bought the whole contents of a shed for $8, eBayed two items and made $200, and still had lot of useful odds and ends.

where do you find out about these home auctions?

some guy i used to work with bought one of those how-to gimicks on tv that tell you how to buy property by paying peoples back taxes or whatever. he read it, paid someone's taxes for $3800, and got the house some months later. turned around and sold it for $60k. made like ~$45k profit after real estate agent fees and everything. went out and bought his mom a newer 325xi, and had a 525whp camaro built for himself. fucking asshole.

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.)

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

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!

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 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
