it's kinda weird, but i've actually made money on ebay selling used computer stuff...
over the past couple of years, my college has their yearly tech sale (used old stuff), of which they sell it all for basically what you have in your pocket. I bought an upgraded powermac 6100 G3 maxed out on ram and hard drive space for $50 with a monitor.. sold it later that week on a newsgroup for $260 or so... also bought a powerbook G3 at the pawn shop for $500 and sold it a week later for $830. Oh, and also bought a maxed out 6500 for $50 with a nice sony 17" monitor.. sold it the next day on ebay for $300. Weird thing to be making money on used computer gear.
I'd say do it on the side, get a job to pay the bills.
Or... get into the online porn biz
