I want to sell used cars.

Word of advice Charlie. Make sure your side biz NEVER conflicts with the mothership and you get it's blessing up front.

The moment your Craigslist is seen by a rep, who passes it to a manager, they'll throw you under the bus in a nano second (they already are fighting the competition and now i have more to fight?)

Another good point. damn.

I've made money on 5 of the 7 cars I've owned. I have a knack for buying cheap and selling higher and I just love it. Right now i'm working my full time job, and one part time job, and its still not enough to cover these damn student loans and live comfortably.

I'm saying this because I would like to sell a car or two a month and hopefully make somewhere around 1-2,000 to cover this loan. I just need access to that damn auction, I don't even need a car lot, just access to the auction and a drive way.

A user in Massachusetts asks whether to invest $5,000 plus $1,000/month for access to an established dealer's lot and auction connections to flip used cars on the side. Community responses overwhelmingly warn against the deal, citing it as likely a scam and identifying the key risk that the lot owner could intercept customers and sell his own inventory instead, while also cautioning that a side car-flipping business could create serious conflicts with the user's primary employment.
