Hello I had an idea of business.... I would like to purchase vintage items in a cheap way from dumb people who doesn't realize the value of an old Playstation or an old mobile phone and then sell them for their real value on E-Bay

The problems:

1) where to find those kind of items ''cheaply'' ?

2) If they are without original package their value will be much lower

What do you think about stocking up now in 2018 vintage items that one day could have a x10 of value? Which vintage item would you advise to me to focuse on?

Imagine stocking up 1000 Playstation One in 2018 and resell them in 2028 at x10 of their actual value... it's better than stock market. What do you think about it
 
just like a pawn shop _ online pawn shop great idea
 
Not exactly better than the stock market for many reasons. I, myself, don't recommend it, but knock yourself out.

not a bad idea i think, but it would take time to get some earnings but sure will be a good investment.

You also have to know how to pick successful products. You'll probably lose a lot of money in the beginning but if you get good you can make it back
 
Dont stock electronics.
Vintage ones you can, I've done it with vintage computers like zx81, spectrum etc. Good money in it actually. Anything nostalgia sells well. For eBay use the fat finger trick

yes I agree with you on that, and you have to think what would be the trending in the future.
