Hey, I am just trying to spark up a conversation here. I am wondering if you have a side hustle? I turned my main side hustle into my main hustle by incorporating the "handyman hustle." I used to frame houses for large builders full time and then I would take on the small deck job or fence on the weekends. Now I attempt to do that hustle full time.
I do have another side hustle as well. I buy and sell hockey cards on ebay. I know the market pretty well and when I see a deal I grab it and flip it for a profit. It doesn't always work... you definitely need to be prepared to lose at any given time, but the market is pretty dependable and for the most part, it works. In fact, the market has likely held up better than every other market in the last year. Nothing really went down in value significantly to the dollar.
All in all, there is money to be made on cards, but it is a slow grind. If you study the market on ebay for a few months, you should notice the trends and find a few cards that you think you could make some money on. You definitely need to do your homework before you get into it. That being said, I did homework and decided to give it a go. My first few months were break even or a slight loss, with great lessons. Now, I am confident. That doesn't guarantee me money, but I am giving it a go.
I invested $1600 into hockey cards in the last month. I will let you know how that all turns over in the next month or so once I have turned them all back into cash.
Let me know what you do on the side, and if it is easy... and if it works.
