Can't get a living income on it, but I believe it's a way to get some extra cash to make up for the cost of this hobby. I've seen people auctioning
elements on ebay to be picked up in person or delivered personally, such as bromine.
Anyone tried doing this? The best way would be to sell stuff that can be made from OTC ingredients. Also I think ebay might have gotten stricter about
their policy on hazardous chemicals.

I would reference my most recent post about Making Money yet somehow fail to summon the energy to do so.

Ebay Uk has changed policy for sure, conc nitric acid used to be listed but you had to sign a form etc and fax it off. Now the company that sells it
dosnt even list on ebay but are still active with lesser chemicals, I am pretty sure they do sell it on Amazon though which seems a bit odd

Cou. You're back again. 
I suspect the answer to your question is that no one makes very much money on ebay unless they put in a significant amount of time, effort, marketing
nous and a bit of money. In which case you are talking a proper business.
As for raising a bit of spare change... only one way to find out.

It is interesting. There's a difference between auctioning and selling. If there's enough people interested in a certain compound, you could put its
minimum at the even amount, then profit from the bartering that occurs.
