Hello my fellow black World community.

Here is an Idea I was thinking about and I believe it could be way to make some beer money. (*Disclaimer, don't think it will make you rich.. just some fun money or start up cash)

Are you familiar with nextdoor (dot) com ?

If not you should check it out. Pretty much it is a community network of buyers and sellers and local businesses in one geographical area. HugeTrust.

On next door they have a buy and sell page. This is your gateway to buyers and sellers.

The vision is to use the buy and sell page for numerous different sales strategies.

The idea thinking about for this is to list products I find on Amazon that offer free next-day shipping. Let's say the product sales on Amazon for $100. I would listed as $150. When a client then says they are interested I would tell them I can meet them in 2 days. I would then order the product on Amazon with next day shipping. When I receive it go meet the client and exchange it for cash, if the client never shows up you could send it back to Amazon in 30 days for a full refund. Like wise, if you just dont feel like meeting them, you can say it was sold and send them a link to Amazon (with your affiliate ID) and say they can pick it up cheaper on that site.

I have tried this before with Items that I got on Woot (dot) com (*Bought in advance and then listed) and off that silly Wish app (Photo backdrops were a good mark up, like $10 on wish, sell them for $50 +).

Dont see a good way to scale this, so again, good for beer money or start up cash if need be.

Hope this helps someone.

Cheers and to your Success!

P.S
Bonus Idea to play off this.

If you have a credit card that offers you points or miles, buy your Amazon products with this, so when they sell you get the extra miles or points along with the cash.
