    Car reselling

    People often have mechanical problems with their vehicles and instead of trying to fix it they buy a new car. You can sometimes get them to sell the car for half the value, especially if it’s not running.

    I bought an SUV for $1000 because it wasn’t running. I spent 4 hours and $300 replacement a sensor and the brakes on it. I then sold it for $3000. That works out to $1700 of profit for 6 hours’ work if you include the time to sell it. That works out to $283/hr.

    They don’t always go as well as that one but it’s usually pretty close




  • A lot of people are commenting about how Ryobi and Milwaukee are owned by the same parent company.

    This is true, but in the same way Lexus and Toyota are the same company. Ryobi is intro level and Milwaukee is the professional focused brand. There’s nothing wrong with Ryobi, but Project Farm has repeatedly tested Milwaukee and Ryobi and Milwaukee consistently outperforms. It’s not a "badge engineering"situation.
