Last August I bought 6 small work platforms/mast lifts at an equipment auction and sold them in FB Marketplace for an extra $1000 each after expenses. Cleaned them up a bit, but that was it! I’m bidding on 5 more this week, should be an easy $5k arbitrage.
Man this brings me back. I did a year at McMurdo in 2004. We got hit with such a bad storm that conex boxes were tossed all over the yards. Snow drifts covered up some doors, but... they opened inward ;)
I sold my last side gig when it got too busy. Land clearing and forestry with heavy equipment- the last year we grossed 250k and 50% profit. Sold the company for 1x annual profit plus assets.
Now I mine Bitcoin. Have iterated through a lot of the challenges mid-size miners face. I’m going to build an online course for others who want to build mining operations at my scale.
