Bought multiple AR-15 parts kits for a total of $380 because Black Friday sales and being a shifty fuck. Assemble, resold to boomers around Christmas for like $500. Made a good chunk of change from that. That I immediately used to buy other guns "to expand my collection".

Bought beeswax by the #50 pound brick. Broke it into 1 ounce pads, sold for $1 each.

Met a guy who sold clean 55 gallon drums for $15, and 225 gallon water tanks for $25. Had a whole massive lot of them. Drove them over a state, resold for $40 and $150 respectively.

Buy government lots of old police laptops. $40 for a pallet, sold them for $20 each. Defective batteries means they must always be plugged in, but a laptop is a laptop, and they were ruggedized to the point you could take a hammer to them. Gave them away to the homeless guys around town a bit.

Go to your local park. Cut and gather some forked branches. Go to Goodwill, if you're lucky like I was, they will have exercise rubber bands for $3 a package. Buy a ton. Go to "The Slingshot Channel" YouTube with the massive German guy. Plop down and make a shit ton of slingshots. A bucketful. Go to a high income - low homeless area. Sit by the road, sell slingshots for $10 a pop. Or more. People will tip too. Rediculous money, low self respect.

Buying legal weed and selling in illegal states is how a lot of the higher class dirt poor like me make side cash these days. Never dipped my toes into it, don't wanna risk the future for short term gain.

Wildfire work will always be king of you've got a good body and a summer to spare. Gotta have pretty big balls if you're in a hot action area.

Will edit when I remember more of my misadventures.

Edit: Bones. Any way you can get them. Suburbia fucks go crazy for bones, I have no idea why. Go down to your local small farms and whatnot, offer em cash for pig bones, cow bones, especially skulls. Bathe them in hydrogen peroxide, which you can get in gallons from vetrenary supply places. Toss them on Craigslist, city people will pay $30 for a goat femur I traded the equivalent of $2 for. Rediculous.

found a profession people hate doing, charge an arm and a leg as I don't mind doing it and I make it sound uber complicated with tech jargon.
Profit.

In college, I'd surreptitiously collect half smoked cigarettes, buy a pack of 100 rolling papers for a dollar, spend an hour that night or so shredding the cigarettes to get the tobacco and reroll them. Next day I'd sell the cigs to students that were jonesing for fifty cents each. Sell out within an hour. Make $50 a day for minimal work. Nobody ever questioned why I seemingly had a never-ending cigarette supply.
