Listen to yourself. Don't need our advice really - you should know the answer yourself my friend.

Get into something you know about so that you can identify a bargain to buy and recognise how much it can be sold for thereby recognising a profit making opportunity when it hits you in the old mush!

I am not actively trading now, but over the years I sold many refurbished items. The only products I was not happy with were car electronics, as they often had cut wires and were missing documnets and wiring diagrams. If I had not been buying them from authroized brand-name distributors, I would have thought they were stolen.

I have sold countless refurbed printers and a number of "off lease" computer systems. Never any problems.

I have not sold any consoles and such, but do know that my grandson has had a number of such products, not buying them that way, but as exchange units for warranty claims. Those refurbed replacements have given service as good as the new items they replaced.

I would suggest making sure you are dealing with a competent source, but I can see that as a good way to get started.
