IDK much about the market in aus compared to america, have spent 2 months in Vic mostly Melb but even then idk how popular Nike is.. you aussies have different shit to resell. Auspost is ass tho so I wouldn't reccomend like drop shipping, try importing vidya in bulk and reselling maybe?

As far as shoes... Here you generally have to either download an app and hope you win a lottery to buy the shoe or click in time OR show up in person and try to but it there < theyve moved to apps because of 100s of cases of people being shot in line, even so people still get robbed at gunpoint with the app orders)

I hear it's very difficult to compete without the use if a bot to jump the line. I looked into this but just didnt have the attention span to determine drop dates and rates, and also trying luck as I dont like the whole bot thing. But good on you for making it work, stockX clearly shows there's a ton of money to be made on Lim Eds

im not into the shoe scene myself knew a guy who i worked with who was. one of the most famous resellers was like 15 when he started and he hooked up celebrities and shit in florida. its totally doable if you put in the work just be wary of the kinda sketchy people shoe culture attracts

I'm thinking when I make it to invest in purses, they never really depreciate in value and definitely go up if chanel/etc. Obviously property isn't a bad idea either but it's hard as a burger.

I buy LP vinyl records. I would not describe it as an investment method because I don't take it that seriously, but if you are familiar with the scene you get a feeling for records that will increase in value. If the artist then also dies the price shoots up. See MF Doom for example.

My brother and his friends are buying popular old cars, take them to their garage, get some work done and wait until they get declared as an "oldtimer" by our laws. when a car is 30 years old it is declared an oldtimer in my country and a few things change, for example the insurance and tax costs. So they are looking for cars that are on the brink of crossing that age.

I have a few friends who are in this fashion market, buying and selling sneakers and luxury brands, but it is not worth it in my opinion. Too much stress, you are dealing constantly with frauds and there is too much competition.

You can make nice profits through vinyl records.

Two ways to do it. The first is to buy newly released "limited editions" (buy them brand new, sealed) and then sit on them for a few years and then sell them when they're gone out of stock. For example there was a special Thirteenth Floor Elevators collection released several years ago that only cost £99 but now it sells for prices like this: https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/3133767?condition=Mint+%28M%29

The second way is to buy old used rare records when you find them at good prices, like for example early or first pressings of albums by famous bands, then sell them for much higher.

For example if you find an early Zeppelin pressing in nice condition cheaply, you can sometimes make serious profits. Check out this for example: https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/1218217?condition=Near+Mint+%28NM+or+M-%29

That's an extreme example ofc. You're unlikely to find that particular version of that record in good condition cheaply.

BUT this method requires knowing how to clean and grade records properly, reading the codes in the deadwax etc to properly identify when the record was made and where and when (what "pressing" it is), and you need to test play them so you need a turntable and must have it configured properly (properly aligned stylus, VTA, anti-skate, tracking force, etc), and a good sounding turntable setup isn't cheap, so you need to spend money on that first. If you use some cheap plasticy 1980s junk or a modern cheap record player, then it will sound like shit and you won't be able to properly judge the quality of the record.

The cheapest way to get good quality gear is to buy a 1970s turntable (even entry-level turntables in the mid 1970s were much better quality than the average turntable 1980s and later ones), used high end speakers and a used amplifier and preamp (make sure it matches well with the cartridge), and a cheap but good cartridge like an Audio Technica VM95 with a Shibata stylus.
