Remote Customer Support or Chat Jobs

Many companies hire for chat/email support.

Sell Stuff Online

Use eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Mercari to sell items around the house.

Consider flipping: buy cheap items locally, sell online for profit.

Let's talk about flipping
ChatGPT said:
Great—flipping is one of the fastest ways to start making real money with little to no startup cost, and you can do it even while recovering from an injury. Here's how to approach it step by step:

Step 1: Pick What to Flip
Start with what you know—or whatever you can easily research and spot deals on. Some good beginner categories:

Electronics: Phones, tablets, smartwatches, game consoles (used or broken).

Tools & Equipment: Power tools, hand tools, lawn equipment.

Collectibles: Pokémon cards, vintage toys, rare books.

Shoes & Clothes: Branded sneakers (Nike, Jordan), jackets, designer items.

Furniture: Wood furniture (easy flips with minimal cleaning).

Local Free Stuff: Check the Free section on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist.

Step 2: Where to Find Deals
Look for undervalued or free items:

Facebook Marketplace (search daily and set alerts)

Garage/Yard Sales

Thrift Stores (Goodwill, Salvation Army)

Clearance aisles at Walmart, Target, Home Depot

OfferUp & Craigslist

Local Auctions

Step 3: Clean, Fix, and Photograph
Clean items thoroughly—presentation makes a huge difference.

Basic repairs or even charging a dead battery can add value.

Take clear, bright photos from multiple angles.

Step 4: Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace (no shipping needed, local buyers)

eBay (wider audience, best for small/light items)

Mercari or Poshmark (for clothes and shoes)

OfferUp (local, similar to Facebook)

Tips for Success
Start small with $20–50 items and scale up.

Learn to spot trends and use eBay sold listings to check resale value.

Set a goal: For example, turn $100 into $500 in 30 days.

Use your phone to manage listings and messaging easily.

Would you like me to suggest a beginner flip project to try this week with minimal effort and high success odds?

Where should I sell these
ChatGPT said:
Those are vintage military ammo cans—highly collectible and great for flipping. Here's where and how to sell them for the best return:

Best Places to Sell Military Ammo Cans
eBay

Best for national exposure and collectors.

Listings like yours often sell for $25–$50+ each depending on condition, rarity, and markings.

Include "vintage military ammo can", caliber info, and lot numbers in the title.

Facebook Marketplace

Great for local cash deals with no fees or shipping.

List them under "Collectibles," "Hunting Gear," or "Tools".

Price around $20–$40 each depending on condition and local demand.

Gun Shows or Surplus Stores

If you're mobile or know someone who is, consignment at a local military surplus store or flea market could work.

Gun shows often have buyers looking for these specifically.

Etsy (for Decor Use)

If you're willing to clean, paint, or repurpose them (e.g., rustic storage), Etsy buyers pay a premium for “vintage industrial” decor.

Could go for $40–$80 each with some creative touches.

Selling Tips
Clean them lightly but preserve the patina—collectors prefer authenticity.

Include measurements and close-ups of the stenciling and hinges/latches.

Offer a bundle price if someone wants all three.

Add keywords like “M2 ammo can,” “military surplus,” “vintage cartridge box,” and “WWII/Korean/Vietnam era” (depending on the markings).

Want help writing a strong eBay listing title and description for one of them?

You said:
They are filled with ammo
ChatGPT said:
Thanks for the heads-up—that changes things significantly.

Important Legal Note:
Selling ammo is regulated—you cannot sell it on:

eBay

Facebook Marketplace

Craigslist

You’ll need to sell locally or through approved platforms that allow private ammo sales.

Where You Can Sell Ammo + Cans
Armslist.com

Like Craigslist but for firearms/ammo.

Post by region/state.

Many buyers look for bulk ammo + cans.

Local Gun Forums

Florida has active 2A communities like Florida Gun Trader and Floridagunclassifieds.com.

Often free to list.

Gun Shows (Ideal)

Sell direct to individuals.

Bundle: ammo + can for better value.

Pawn Shops or Gun Stores

May offer to buy, but expect lower prices (they resell).

Still worth checking for fast cash.

Pricing Tip
You're holding:

.30-06 M2 ball ammo in bandoliers and cartons (likely Greek surplus HXP).

These typically sell for $1.00–$1.25 per round if non-corrosive and in good condition.

The ammo cans themselves go for $20–$30.

Ballpark package value:
If those cans are full (~192–400 rounds each), you're easily holding $150–$300+ in ammo alone—possibly more depending on quantity and year.
