Internet auction sites have proved a godsend for those who like to buy and sell, and many who started out selling a few old clothes have found themselves with a lucrative part time business.
One Auckland based trader who did exactly that eventually gave up her real job to specialise in plus-sized women's clothing. Many of her buyers are women who live in the country, or in towns which don’t have shops for larger women.
As well as selling pre-loved clothing, she buys new items on sale and re-sells them on TradeMe. A $5 item found in the specials bin at Farmers can fetch $10 or $15, and if you buy 10 at once, it’s a significant profit.
And if you’re a fossicker who loves junk shops and the like, you can turn your hobby into a moneymaker buying items with a value much higher than the price tag.
