Where is there easy cash? Programmer jobs pay shit. $45,000/year in Oklahoma. I make more then that as an unlimited Journeyman electrician. Most software companies outsource their programming to India nowadays and there's no need for people who deeply understand programming because higher level languages like Java make it to where any dumb fuck can "write" programs. If I want to get in with a large corporation I have to intern for a year which I can't afford because I have a family and I wouldn't like working in an office because I'm redpilled and office people are prude blue pilled "I'm sending an email about your behavior" cucked faggots. I could make apps for Android but then I'd have to use java which I can't fucking stand and the truth is I like coming here and shitposting, probably because I'm immature but fuck you it's fun.
Also ITT we talk about how black people are destroying the US.
bro just go to government auctions and buy laptops like thinkpads and hp elitebooks and other shit. like hundreds of them in bulk. and then bring them home and list them on ebay
Ryan Kelly
I watched Neighbors 2 with my wife last night. Talk about liberal Trash! Complete fucking Jew garbage. I can't enjoy movies anymore because of what Sup Forums has revealed to me.
Hudson Evans
I write Android apps but in C# (Xamarin) fuck java
Liam Ortiz
Duuuuude. That's an awesome idea.
Kevin Smith
last time i went i bought 170 thinkpad x60 tablets for $800. and 30 panasonic toughbooks for $500
Ryder Sanchez
Oh. I can get Xamarin for free on Dreamspark or whatever it's called nowadays. C# is practically just like java but you're right, it would probably be better being able to use .Net languages.
how much money did you actually make and in how long?
Jacob Clark
200 devices. Even if they sell for $100. That's $18,700 profit.
Carter Bell
hard to tell. there were various models of toughbooks, some sold for ~$250 and some i only got like $50 for if they had bad screens and shit. the thinkpads were stacked on pallots and some of them got damaged while being loaded onto the trailer and etc. i was selling them in lots of 3 for like $50. i still have a few broken ones left that i stack up and sell for scrap when i get a bunch of them. my dad does this for a living, i just do it for gas money and cash while i'm in school
it's better to go to the physical auctions, they sell shit a lot cheaper than the online ones. the last one i went to was in baton rouge
K. I'll try to get in on that. Also I'd like to get a lot of desktops so I can get the GPU's for prime number programs using GMP that I've made.
Michael Sullivan
a lot also have no OS or PS
Justin Howard
Take to the sea! I work on a tugboat out of New York. Made $110k this year. 29years old. Looking to start buying rental properties this year, get some passive income going. I figure if I can buy ten or so homes in the next 10-15 years, I'll be sitting pretty for retirement
Brody Gutierrez
all the government surplus stuff will have the hard drives removed. i usually just test mine to power up and boot to bios and sell them with no hard drive included. i also do a lot of local computer work and i will keep a couple fixed and running to sell to local niggers who want a cheap computer for a pretty big markup
Mason Sanders
>45k is shit
You need to adjust your lifestyle m8.
Ethan Bailey
Oh. I didn't notice the that. I think I'm going to go to physical auctions like user above you said.
Ian Martinez
so you don't have to think about using unlicensed OS... I mean I have enough credit available I can buy stuff like this but living at a third floor condo with no outside storage getting a pallet full of laptops presents a logistics issue
I have a friend who does or did this on a rather small scale.. a good for you if you make bank at it.
Tyler Brown
I make $65,000/year but I live in Oklahoma. 3 bedroom 2 bath brand new house goes for $140,000 here.
Owen Jackson
But your digits are speaking to me. I'm thinking about starting a tech solutions company. Not a lot of competition here.
Luke Reyes
Let me just go find tugboat jobs...
Blake Peterson
This guy gets it. 45k certainly isn't anything awesome but considering where OP lives it can be pretty comfy unless he has a shit ton of bills for stupid shit he doesn't need.
Nathaniel White
Thanks for the advice user. I'm soaking all this in.
Ethan Ross
The only crazy expense we have (kids excluded) is coffee and cable (which we never watch). My wife is also an RN which helps. Our combined income is more than $115,000. More than twice the average household income in Ok.
Jace Wood
Apply to more jobs you idiot, I work from home and makes 200k/year.
Josiah Ramirez
Where?
Isaac Moore
All the big pure play software companies pay well.
Carson Turner
i have edited .isos of all microsoft operating systems that check the board for an embedded slp activation key and activate from it automatically during installation like they do at the factory. most of the computers will have coa stickers on them though unless they rubbed off or something
see here for further reading on the oem slp key shit(you may need to make an account):
also don't limit yourself to just computer shit. my dad buys a lot of medical shit too and he has made some insane profit on some of that stuff
Ryder Carter
Ha!... Ha!.... Ha!....
Hudson Myers
What languages do you use mostly?
James Thompson
also yeah it may be hard for you to do this if you live in an apartment. we have a big property in a rural area with 3 sheds + a house full of stuff in storage and will probably build another one soon. our neighbor actually moved away a few years ago and my dad bought their house just to store shit in
Samuel Robinson
Ok. I'll look into it. I was also thinking about putting in an application at Play Side. They make mobile games and said they need programmers. I just got too lazy and figured since they're a small company they probably don't pay well.
Luis Brooks
Question about your auction turnarounds:
What have you found has netted the best returns, item-wise? Or do you just deal with pooters?
Carter Roberts
>Where is there easy cash?
Cameron Morgan
MFW you have enough money to buy a house just for storage.
Even startup pays 200k now, but they mostly want you in Sodom.
Oliver Thompson
You obviously missed the implied and also active conversation where I'm basically beta'ing out and saying there aren't any good programming jobs available. Being that I have done research it's up to user related to divulge what he's doing better then me faggot.
Ian Russell
Thanks user.
Ryder Diaz
Glassdoor got salary ranges, be prepared to study cs interview questions for a few weeks beforehand though.
Ian Clark
it's hard to say. we will flip anything we can make money on. we don't just buy stuff to exclusively sell on ebay either. my uncle owns a scrap metal business and sometimes my dad will buy 3-4 18 wheelers worth of computers or whatever else to sell for scrap if it goes cheap enough. he also buys ex police cars like dodge chargers and shit a lot to flip too. we'll go to the auction a day beforehand to look through everything and write down how much we're willing to pay for each lot before we let it go.
my dad is friends with a lot of the guys that show up to the auctions too and they will work out who wants what before the auction starts and not bid against each other so they all get the stuff cheaper and make more money
Jace Cook
Thanks for the tip. I had a professor that would give us interview questions at least once a week. I've done generally pretty good with abstract CS questions, I know a lot about the intricate details of computers because I obsessed over it one summer vacation, really it's motivation that I'm lacking. I don't know where to find that stuff.
