Has anyone ever had luck flipping shit online? Like finding a deal or an ending auction and sold it back for more? Is it good to just stay in s relative market you know or compulsively buy shit you see cheap?

I find beat up quality furniture in junk stores and flea markets. I learned from Youtube videos how to repair them if possible. I resell it on Craigslist for 80 to 200 dollars more. I sell 3 or 4 pieces a month. All cash.
Use FatFingers to find these type of listings on eBay.
Go to yard sales. I always see old people who's husband/father has passed away and is selling tools and other expensive man things for real cheap because they don't know the worth.

What kind of furniture do you do this with?
Tables, chairs and like seem like they are too big for people to want to buy it from some guy on craigslist.
There are tons of free furniture on craigslist, why not just take their free stuff and flip it for >100% profit?

Has anyone packed up their bags and just moved overseas? American here. I'm thinking about doing that. Maybe moving to Switzerland. I'm an CPA (accountant). How hard would it be to find a job there or elsewhere in Europe or Asia.

>Has anyone packed up their bags and just moved overseas?
You need to get a job offer and for a company to sponsor you in order to move overseas. Otherwise you can only stay for a length of a visa which is usually only a month or two for almost every country.
>Maybe moving to Switzerland
You can't just "pack up your bags" and arrive at Zurich airport. Switzerland is very strict on granting citizenship and you will likely...

Does that mean I can go to Switzerland for a month, then Denmark a month, Spain a month, etc.? Or is it one month in all of EU?
How do I go about getting a job offer from some place in Europe? Just apply?

>Does that mean I can go to Switzerland for a month, then Denmark a month, Spain a month, etc.? Or is it one month in all of EU?
I'm guessing for all countries, since if you have citizenship in any EU country you can freely go to any of them.

Be top-tier professional that they companies are willing to sponsor and are nterested in. It's pretty hard, but...

Is Community College a meme?
I'm planning to study either marketing, business administration or network engineering.
Poorfag from Germany here therefore I cannot afford a bachelor at proper University.
>>986592
Yes it's a meme.
People who go there are borderline retarded and the professors are unqualified. I thought University in Germany was free? Why do Germans always brag about Muh socialism?
A German friend says that universities are free over there? And that you are able to go directly into a trade (banking, construction, programming) without and general education classes.

I desperately want to escape the Merkelland and study in United States.
Picrel are the degrees available in one of the best ranked Community Colleges in US. Which of these would be the best to choose?
The economy is going to burst soon. Nothing the feds will do is going to prevent it. So what are your stock strategies for making some money when it does happen?
>>986558
Cut my monthly additions in half, keeping the other half in the bank for a meager 0.6% interest until the crash or the outlook looks clearer.

I'm hoping to make some money from it, but I guess we'll see.

Does playing economic based video games mean I'm doomed to be unsuccessful?
Pic related its my favorite game.
>>986523
Playing ANY videogaymes in your freetime instead of using it to improve yourself or earn money more or less dooms you to being unsuccessful, and average at best.
>>986527
But if I am experimenting with an economic simulation am I not improving myself?
>>986532
No you're just lying to yourself.
Start reading books and studying finance, videogaymes are not a good simulation.
Who was a better businessman, Jobs or Gates?
>if you answer Jobs, please leave /biz/
>>986506
goddamn jobs should have been fucking bitches left and right (did he?)
>no homo. probably.
>>986509
He did, jobs was a notorious fucking prick and weird-level alpha about it. He'd invite interns in while he's wearing workout shorts and lift his legs on the table as if he were reclining, only so they could see down his pantlegs to his throbbing erection.
I'm not kidding, google the guy's sexual harassments.
Ur mom LMAOOOO
So I am 27 and since I am an autistic virgin loser with no friends so I live with my mom and help financially support her since she is disabled and can't work. Well I think we are going to lose the house this year any ways, so I was looking at buying a trailer. I would basically be able to put down 50%-80% of the full cost of the trailer and pay it off within one to two years. I talked to people about this plan and they all laugh and made fun of my idea to buy a trailer. They said it is trashy and shitty and nobody would ever want to come over and I will never get a girlfriend...

Lot rent is normally high, I believe typically higher than the mortgage of the trailer monthly. Reselling is supposedly a bitch because no one wants to live in a trailer.
A large part of it is that trailers are so cheap because they are built using the absolute cheapest materials and they are not keen on being repaired, changed, etc.
Buy a cheap RV and live in that
>>986414
Trailers depreciate
Also, reminder that if you want to replace an existing mobile home, you'll have to get the old one demolished and hauled away at a not insignificant cost. A trailer parked for more than a few years won't be roadworthy enough to move.

Call me a cu ck or a lazy NEET or a retard or whatever hot memes you /biz/ fellows like to call people, but this board is easily the most depressing place on 4chan. How do you not feel empty inside, saving all your money and focusing the majority of your time on ways to make more? On posting/following overly generalized advice and desperately clinging on to the hope that you'll be one, the one out of hundreds and hundreds and thousands of people who've read the same exact shit you've read that becomes rich. What the fuck do you plan on doing with a hundred thousand...

I build stuff and sell it. If I stopped making more money, I'd pretty much not be making more stuff, and that would make me sad.
I don't know everyone else's story.
>>986194
Have my own place and some spending money..
weirdly enough, some people actually enjoy finance, you know, how like you enjoy whatever hobbies you have?
i know its odd to think that people find this kind of stuff interesting but ya know, your opinion is the only one that matters so...

Why do so many 4channers say this? Are they poor or what?
Not business related
LA and New York are actually awful

The cost of living in the midwest is pretty low. It might not necessarily be about being poor. Things are cheaper in general in these places, even people who make a lot of money might not necessarily like overpaying for shit.
I live in Texas, and honestly it's pretty great.

What's a job where you can save a lot of money?
I'm thinking something where food and accommodations are paid for, so you can minimize your expenses, something with lots of hours, and a decently high pay rate.
thoughts?

You can eliminate food/grocery costs by sucking dick

What are some CodeAcademy/Khan Academy tier websites I should know of? Looking for a website like these but for learning new languages, specifically Arab and Spanish.
Duolingo lets you learn Spanish for free. Plus, you help translate the web for south murrikans.

Khan academy and MIT courseware are the only good ones.
