side jobs are good too but it's not really the same thing. the word hustle is to imply a degree of casual greasiness not as distinguished as the more formal "job". selling drugs or shilling shitcoins or dropshipping these are side hustles. yes the term derives from african americans and yes side hustles are generally for poorfags, but its a legitimate term with a unique meaning and we're stuck with it until you come up with some new term that didnt come from black people but honestly why bother.

you're doing it wrong.

I've been doing it for 10 years now, I started off making a few thousand a year and now I make a couple thousand a month.

it's not how you do it so much as what coins you choose to resell. And figuring that out takes experience.

that's where experience comes in.

nobody fakes these because they're too rare, and every example is usually photographed and documented.

I know a real saloon token in my field when I see it. And I know how many there are and what they usually sell for.

There are 2 examples of that token in existence, both have been in private collections since the turn of the century, and I now own both of them. I paid $500 for my first one. I paid $38 for the second one.

even most antique tokens aren't worth that much. I collect and flip antique saloon tokens from ghost towns and mining camps. Those are often worth hundreds of dollars. But even then you have to know which ones are rare.

>> No.53702188

so, there are two and you've convinced some dumb anon to pay $800, market value would seem to be $265.

The further away we get from 'the old west' the less value this boomershit will have.

>> No.53702209

>>53702188
>market value would seem to be $265.
It varies from as low as $38 to as high as a thousand for that token.

I agree it should get less valuable as boomers die off, but over the last 3 years we had almost half of the major collectors die and their collections go up for sale on ebay. At first they auctioned really cheap, and I spent almost $50k snapping up inventory at a fraction of the list price.

then after a while the auctions started to heat up, more collectors jumped in, and prices shot way up. That's why I'm still doing this side gig. People are happily paying 2-10x what I paid for this crap and I'm just using it to pay for my own collection.

>> No.53702243

>>53702188
specifically, that same token sold for over a thousand dollars on ebay 15 years ago, so that was its value.
then I bought one on ebay for $500 and that was its value
then the guy that paid a grand for his died of covid and I bought his token for $38 so right now that's the fair market value
in a week I'll sell it for $800 and that will be the fair market value.

fair market value is just whatever it sold for last. Currently that's either $38, or if we want to be generous, the average of $38 and $500

but in reality it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. It may be a great deal at $800 or maybe not. I don't know. Time will tell. It'll probably go up in value though. For a while anyways.

>> No.53702347

>>53702188
The other interesting thing about that is the guy I bought it from probably paid less than $10 for it himself. If he took the time to research the token he could've easily made almost a thousand on that one coin alone. But he's a bulk reseller, he doesn't research his coins. He's getting rich buying a few thousand coins a month at $10 and selling at $38 or whatever they happen to auction for.

Then flippers like me that actually know what the coins are worth buy his junk and resell it. And there's even more layers after that, I have customers that buy my junk and then flip it again for even more money than I charged. It's just a matter of how much time and effort a seller wants to put into it and how big a profit they need. In my case I'm fine with doubling my money or better as long as I can do it consistently several times a month. I don't need max profit, I need quick and consistent sales. Anything above a 100% profit margin is fine by me.

Were do you flip them, not on ebay i presume

>> No.53702402

>>53702386
I mostly flip them on ebay, but over the years I've gotten to be friends with most of my customers. There's not a lot of buyers for that sort of thing. So I'll usually offer a great coin to my regular customers via email before I'll list it on ebay.

but yeah, about 80% of my business is just flipping back to ebay. People don't check to see what stuff sold for, and I've seen individual coins flipped several times in a single month on ebay.

>> No.53702454

>>53702402
Interesting

Why do your ebay buyers not see/find the previous auction and buy it cheaper? They obviously look for the coin otherwise they wouldnt have found your auction no? Or do they only check your shop

>> No.53702470

>>53702454
they don't check ebay every day like I do. So it can take months or even years to sell something I list. I get around this by listing a few hundred coins at a time, and emailing my regulars to tell them I have new coins up. Then they all swoop in and buy what they want before someone else can get it.

>> No.53702482

>>53702454
>otherwise they wouldnt have found your auction no?
also important point there... I don't auction them. I list as BIN.

if I auction them I get hit with the same problem as the guys I buy from... nobody sees the auction and they usually sell for less than I paid.

>> No.53702513

>>53702454
I do sometimes end up bidding against my regular customers though. And that's fine. I bid half what I can sell the coin for to them, so if they see the auction and bid against me they hopefully get a good deal and I lose the auction. Sometimes they bid against each other and the prices can go pretty high. But that's part of the fun.

I did freelance work on the side for a while but don't anymore, as it's not really scalable.

Recently I built a Chrome extension that has a free and paid version. Free is limited usage, paid is $30/year and is unlimited. I launched it last week and have 11 downloads but no sales yet. I'm hopeful that over time it can produce a few hundred or thousand dollars per year.

My longer-term goal is to build up passive software services like this and just scale up the membership subscriptions. $30/year with 2500 subscribers would be $75K. It's not replacing what I make at work, but I could for sure live on that if I needed to, and it would add a tremendous sense of comfort and a backstop.

Ideally I'd like having 2-3 passive services like this so that even if one falls off, the others should retain their usage. "MicroSaaS" as opposed to a full on SaaS company.
