Buy it whole, sell it in pieces

You might say, this is not novel! The chicken industry have been doing this for years. They will sell you chicken breast for $5/pound, and drumsticks for $2/pound. While that's true, we don't apply this idea enough to realize the 80/20 benefit. Let me give you an example of what I just sold on E-bay. I purchased the McDonald's coupon pack where you get 12 coupons.(3)of the following (4)items for free: hamburger, french fries, pie, and milk. I purchased a bunch for $3/pack on e-bay. It turned out that I bought too many, and needed to get rid of them. I decided to split up the pack, and sell (6) hamburgers for $3, etc. So, I made a 100% profit. This is just an example to get you thinking. What else could you buy in whole and split it up to make a profit? Recently, I purchased a used TIVO for $10. The lady no longer had a subscription and the unit was just sitting around. Since I own (3)TIVOs, I bought it to harvest it for parts. However, I could sell parts on ebay for people looking replacement parts.
