Interested in buying and then selling stuff. I am running into two (and I assume, very common) problems. 1. The high quality stuff I find tends to be too expensive to buy. 2. The cheap stuff I find is really crappy. I know in order to make money, you need to buy low and sell high. But, this seems a LOT easier in theory than in practice! What am I doing wrong?

Does anyone have experience buying things off sites like Dealspl.us, Modoshi and Woot, then reselling them (with markup) on Craigslist and/or Ebay? How did it work out? Is it possible to make a living this way? Any tips?

What would be the best way for a person to sell their antique and really rather pretty jewelry in Texas? Looking at ebay, the prices tend to be quite low and pawn shops are even lower.
