When LED's first became popular... I got a guy from China to ship em over here.
I sold a few trunk loads to random cornerstores and dollar stores around teh city and made a bit of cash.

It was kinda funny b/c i realized how popular they were b/c of RFD.

I started this thread cuz I'm interested in how some of us with more regular joe jobs can make a good profit outside of the "hourly rate".

As we know, big money comes from big business, but few make it to the top.

I've been lucky in real estate - not as a deliberate investment - but the homes I've purchased and lived in have appreciated nicely, and upon their sale, I've made a good bit of income in order to increase the equity in my next home.

More than $10K every time.

First house was $60K in 18 months.
Second house increased about $45K in about 10 years.
Third house increased about $70K in 3 years.

Fourth house, I'm enjoying right now

I bought a Coffee Shop in 2002. Doubled the sales and sold it in 3 months and made $145,000.

That was my best money making experience, making $145,000 in three months.

In case you wonder about the capital gain...I still have tons of capital lost from the tech bubble.

Well, I got a job and worked part-time...
