Why would you start a collection of other people's credit cards? Also, most are probably inactive anyway, plus if they can't pay storage unit fees probably don't have much of a credit limit anyways. I think its a bad idea. If you ever got pulled over and had strangers credit cards in your possession your looking at trouble and dont say i found them in a storage unit because why did you hang on to htem unless you were planniing on doing something with them?

as for drugs. ive never found more than like an 1/8th of some crappy dried out weed but i used to know guys who kept those big plastic tote bins and fridgerator boxes full of good weed in storage units. if anyone ever went to jail and dindt tell their gf or someone about it there would probably be a very hapy buyer

to make money, as a hobby, love the mystery of what i will find, find cheap things to give my gf lol.

i used to buy more to make money, now days its more just a hobby, finding cheap thinsg for my home or for diy projects, my gf likes picking through my scraps and taking things for herself

I'm going to keep my eye on this thread. I love steam cleaners, the problem however is unless your willing to spend big money on one they are generally crap. I think of them like paint sprayers, awesome investment, time saving, does a better job than rollers or brushes but if you go buy the $100 one its gonna clog all day. You get a more expensive one they are great.

Same with steam cleaners, most ofthe cheap ones dont get hot enough, dont work well, or only hold enough steam to clean for like a few minutes and then need to recharge.

I've used these places to get phones "rooted" "jailbroken" or "unlocked" but thats about it. They will normally do that for about $40 which is pretty decent

Sorry accidentally hit post beore I was finished. Anyhow, I started off using a blogger blogspot website for my selling. It's really simple, point and click, it's free as long as you dont mind having a .blogspot as oppsed to a .com plus it's only $10 a year to make it a .com. You can easily create paypal buttons, write up a blog post about an item your selling, put a paypal button in the post and sit back and wait for someone to buy. is

This actually worked out surprisingly well for me for quite some time. Then I had a colleage mention to me I would do a lot more business if I had a more professional site which inspired more customer confidence since the area of business I'm dealing in requires a more professional presentation than if your just selling a cocuh for example.

I then got a godaddy template website. Under $300 a year, alot of customization you can do, pretty easy to link up to paypal and or a merchant processor, they also give you free name is slipping my mind but security token to accept credit cards. This was better than a blogger site, a little better for seo as well, comes with free credits for adsense, yahoo ads, bing ads, facebook ads, etc. This worked out well for a while too but then wanted again a more professional presentation and more functional and user friendly site.

I found out that most US web designers dont do the work themselves, they outsource it to india jack up the price about 4x and charge you and act as the middlemen. I got a recommendation for a great web designer, do sites for companies like car companies  and purell. Got a site that would have cost me 15k-30k done for under 4k. Also doing some seo work with them normally $1500 a month in the us, I'm getting it for $450.

There's alot of other options as well, I've played around with wix.com which I was actually kind of impressed with, you can get a really professional presentation of your site and it's all point and click. Not at all template looking like many other site design programs and sites.

Anyhow, just wanted to share some stuff I've tried and what worked and what didnt

Man this story got a lot of traction...

im surprised nobody has offered him his own realtiy show, although heck maybe he already has one if anyone else knows? just seems anyone can get a reality show these days and every reality show winds up with one or two of the characters getting their own spinoff show
