Audio Video Conversion Service Start up $100-$500

Lots of people have old VHS tapes, 8mm, Slides, 8 tracks and other old technology,
Getting a Audio video converter for your computer and coping them to DVD and CD could bring you a nice income.
Starting small is the key to the success of this business satart with tapes and VHS since the converters are inexpensive for a nice one and you can do both with one device.
As you get some clients in you can get some of the equipment to start doing 8mm and 8tracks you can also get a LP to USB play er for about $100.

This business takes TIME and a lot of it since in most cases you have to listen to or watch the media as its being copied and there is no way to speed the process up.  (But if you archive the more popular stuff you can just pull from you copies.)

I will say I think you need to have a passion for ALL music and any Video you look at.

Bulk Resale Start up $100-$1000

So you see things on Auction sites in Whole Sale lots or Bulk.
These are great ways to start Inventory up and start making some Cash.

Few Things I recommend are

  1. Buy things you know and Like
  2. Buy things easily broken up and resold quickly (i.e. Look and see if people are buying the items)
  3. Don't ask to much for the products.
  4. Don't over BUY stuff (our you will be stuck with things you can do nothing with)
Find a product your know because if you don't sell it at least its some thing you might want.
But if you want it so does some one else.
Make sure when you break up the lots you add something to each broken up piece that people a specifically looking for that's the Key item and will sell the group then your not stuck with that extra item.

I have done this with E Bay mostly and found some very good success.
I did Vintage Video games whle I was collecting Atari Games.  To get the game I wanted I could only find them in lots then I resold the extras made a nice profit over 2 years.

Thats why do some thing you like so it interests you.
