I worked with a guy who said he made more money at flea markets on the weekend than as an optical engineer all week.

He would buy antiques and resell them for more money. Loser was the one holding the bag when people stopped bidding the item up.

It's all psychology, and as people here remind me, I don't know Jack about psychology. Some things (like me) age like fine wine. Others age like fine milk.
