Me too. I make about 10k a year."
Do you resell stuff that other people have given away for free? If so, you are loathsome.
I don't take things for free from anyone directly and then turn around and sell it. I primarily shop at yard sales and thrift stores for both my family and for resale. I also sell things that we own that we no longer want like old toys and clothes that my kids outgrow. If a friend or neighbor passes something along to me for free, I pass it along for free to the next person when we're done with it. I have, however, found things on the curb on trash day that I've turned around and sold. I don't have a problem with that.
