Making a little money

[dcp]

My brother makes so much money from selling things on ebay. He deserves it though as he doesn't make a lot of money at all he really struggles. So I was just talking about this with someone and they said well instead of moaning about it do something.

As some of you may well know I'm moving out my parents house and I need to save up a bit of money. I was thinking of baking some easy horse treats and selling them is this against the law or anything :confused:

Any other suggestions I could do with the summer nights? Something not too difficult I don't have a sewing machine or anything. I have a few horsey books I'll try sell on ebay I've never looked at them. Any ideas at all?

I clean out stalls at our barn. I get paid $2 per stall per day. With 5 stalls (6 if you count mine, but I dont get paid for it) this means $70 per week which comes to about an extra $280 per month!

this is a bit of a gamble lol I just thought of it might do it myself sometime - buy stuff really cheap in charity shops and fairs and the like, then sell it on ebay...

I've sold a few things on ebay, its good if you've got aomething you want to sell, but making big money on it isn't as easy as everyone makes out.
For example, people always talk about buying tickets for things then selling them on for big bucks. I had one (genuinely bought with good inentions) and thought i'd give it a shot and only got back waht i'd paid for it, despite the gig being sold out!!!
I'm not sure, but I'd check the rules about anything perishable (eg horse treats), don't know what laws/standards there might be.

Good luck though

Yup, you could make and sell horse treats at your barn. I've known people who have done that.

Yes I sell alot on ebay, Trawl round the charity shops, pick out designer makes and whack them on ebay. Great profit margins! hehe :D

I have a suggestion!!!! Along with the treats, why don't you bake horsey Birthday cakes???????????? If people have a Horsey Birthday coming up, you could offer a variety of cakes or cup cakes for the Birthday celebration. I have done this for friends and then everyone was asking me to do it!!!! It's also fun to do! I put the horses name on the cake!:p
You could work up some fliers and distribute them at local barns and tack shops!!!!:D

Also - visit pound shops, and sell things on. Games, toys and books are great little earners. I make about £40 a week on Ebay - not a lot, but nice bit of cash for going out at the weekend.

i've got about £300 worth of stuff going on this weekend, after clearing out my room, which is going towards a bew saddle.
