Is it as easy as some people say selling stuff on Ebay I mean can you go and buy any old crap from a car boot or jumble sale and sell it for more than you paid for it?

Works both ways in reality.
I don't why, but I've witnessed feeding frenzies on eBay the likes of I've never seen at a traditional auction. It's hard to explain why some folk pay more for 2nd hand goods when they could buy the same thing brand new.

There was someone on here a couple of weeks ago who sold a pair of crystal side repeaters to someone in the US for £160!!

yep some of the stuff sells for silly money, gadgets always go for silly money I think or you take the risk and buy them from overseas at a reasonable price but can get clobbered for import duty.
As for buying from car boots and selling on ebay, well depends what you buy, I went to a few car boots and they are just full of complete tat. Things like when the auction ends are very important too IMHO.

Chap here at work is turning over a reasonable sum of money buying stuff locally (PC/HiFi etc from local paper/car boots) and reselling on ebay.
Often a quick cosmetic clean-up and some nice photos can double the value.

Been having a clear out of old junk from the garage and attic etc. Raised over £500 in three weeks from stuff I thought was almost valueless. And there's plenty more to go yet ![Wink](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
