    The hourly rate has another factor . You pick the time to do it 24/7 full time or side hustle

    yup, cant beat the flexibility.... plus the other part, which is the variability. Some pickups go way better and get way better stuff....

    One pickups was of ~15 desktops, took an hour to go get them. 9/15 had i7 CPUs that sold for $90-120/ea on ebay. Total time for that was like 3hrs if you take into account pickup, taking the CPUs out, photographing, listing, and packing/shipping. That maths out to around $300/hr, which is more than even my day job, with something easy and fun on the side.


    Always money to be made out there, just gotta go out and get it.
