    "Good sites" are all over. You just have to find the sites that suit your vein of interest. "Easy" is already being worked by other people. One of the veins I used to work was silver and gold coins on e-bay, and it still can work pretty well. Find what you are looking for and do a search for undiscovered items. You can either search on your own to refine your search parameters and bid on what you find. I have also used a search tool called FatFingers - eBay typos, misspelling & spelling mistakes. You put in what you are searching for and it will do a search for fat finger spelling errs. I will also look for items that either have a low bid or no bids and have been up for a few days. That tells me that there is something in the ad that is a bit off and people are not finding it. Then I use a site called AuctionStealer: Free Online eBay Auction Sniper to place snipe bids at the end of auctions. In the end, you need to find the vein that suits you.

    I boost ads on facebook. A lot of times the cost of a boost is worth it as long as you boost your ad in the area you want to haul
