So something I did on the weekly basis was buy and resell shoes. I have always really like fashion and specifically shoes. So I looked at is as a opportunity to make money. I would buy shoes that sold out in minutes, like Yeezy&#8217;s, Jordan&#8217;s, and Human Races. I found this very fun and the only risk involved is buying shoes that nobody would want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve had some bad selling experiences. This winter break I was selling a golf iron on eBay and what happened could have went very badly. So, I listed the item for $65 and later that day someone texted me saying that they would buy it for $350 and would have someone pick it up from my house. I Googled the area code and it was from Orlando, FL so I figured maybe it was a person with some cash that money just wasn&#8217;t a problem for them. So, the next step was to receive a check in the mail, and I did \u2026 for $1,250. When I opened the envelope I was stunned and not gonna lie excited. But being the Grover I am I message the seller saying he very much over payed me for the club. He said the addition $900 was a &#8220;moving fee&#8221;. I realized at this moment that this transaction was extremely sketch. I went to my bank and asked them what they thought, they said to rip it up and not do business with that man. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I don&#8217;t use eBay anymore nut I have found apps like Mercari, and Poshmark that lets me sell things and make this broke college student a little less broke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In high school I always tried to work smart and not hard when earning money.
