My mother in law bought a kitchen table on amazon...she went out of her way to get a non-Chinese one. It was made in Malaysia. Box arrived, open it up, damaged in 2 places. Extensive. The first part was the slide for the leaf, screws were too short and pulled right out of the particle board top. The leaf itself was broken like someone used kung fu. It was pretty lame. TLDR, sent back for refund.

Had a friend do this and cash in big on fidget spinners. He ordered like 5,000 of them from AliExpress for like 10 cents each, then listed them on Amazon with prime shipping and a healthy markup. People do it all the time. There is risk though. You know what cut your resale outlet takes? And what shipping will cost? You'd have to sell 1/2 to 3/4 of your stock before you break even and if you don't, what are you doing with all those extra shelves? If you've got the time, space and energy though, go for it!

There's money to be made there

i love portillos

have you tried beefshack yet? its def fire. they bake the sandwhiches then dip upon request.

they also make their bread 'garlic' style. its incredible

you will feel your heartbeat slow to a sluggish chug at the end of your meal.

Never heard of it, where's it at?

I used to buy people's part outs at a discount for taking all of it then flip the parts individually, I track everything on spreadsheets because I'm a former data analyst - lifetime profit since 2015 when I started doing it is about $15k. Not bad for doing very little work.

One cool thing since I moved to the suburbs that they don't have in Chicago is garage sales, lots of crap but sometimes there's some good stuff. Last weekend I stopped by one in my neighborhood and grabbed 5 older galaxy s10 phones for $75. Listed them on marketplace for 150 each and by Tuesday they were all sold, 4 for asking price and one they haggled me down to 120. $645 profit for doing basically nothing.

Yes but neither of the platforms I would try selling on are worth the trouble.

Portillos is good, there's better beefs though like Al's

Rumor has it if you say Portillos 3x in front of a mirror, Bo0sted shows up behind you.

This reminds me of one of my fraternity brothers. He was able to pay cash for a brand new RSX from selling RC helicopter parts on eBay. He realized no one sold replacement parts, so he would buy ones people had broken for like $10, disassemble them and index the parts, list them for sale, and make like $500. He made like $30k in two years doing it in his spare time.
