Hello fastlaner !

This is my second thread already, i wanted to post this in the blog area but i haven t yet learn how to do. ( pm me if you can help me for that ). Another question came to my mind so here it is in this thread. if this has already been asked, i apologize.

I started using Craigslist to make money, i buy low and sell high. I am specialized in computer and started 2 weeks ago.
Thank god i live in LA so the law of "high demand and high supply" comes into play. I have made 2000 dollars during those two weeks and because i am a broke student i only started with 950$. The first item i bought was an Imac 27 inch which i sold for 1150$. Right know while writing this post i am waiting for a guy to come pick up a 2008 macbook pro which i bought yesterday night for 450$ and selling for 650$. I make around 200$ profit each time and started to increase my supply. I do cheat by using several CL accounts :tiphat:. This is the first phase of my plan, my ultimate goal is to have enough money to start investing into properties.

I am turning to you know, for experienced CL users, do you have any advice to give me ? if you started the same way as me it would be great to hear your story for some more motivation.
Also, what item would be good to buy and sell, other than computers?

THANK YOU ALL !
