I did exactly 0 work on the Concord, and spent all of 10 minutes on the Lincoln getting a used tire installed on a lunch break. So since you can only sell 6 a year anyways, it should give you time to seek out the "really easy" deals, right?
Javelin:
See, this is where the credibility goes away. Had you done "0 work" on the Concord, it would still be around. At a bare minimum, you had to advertise the car, meet with at least one buyer and perform whatever paperwork is required.
Unless your tire store is run by NASCAR pit crews, a tire change is not going to take 10 minutes, at a minimum, you used up your lunch hour to get there and back.
I am not disputing the fact that you made some coin, however, I am always amazed at how, after accomplishing a difficult task, so many people reduce it to "No Big Deal"
So, with income earned in the hundreds of dollars/hour range why have you not quit your day job?
