In these tough economic times, we all have to do whatever is necessary to make ends meet.
In my case, some recent financial setbacks caused me to change/postpone my tractor shopping, in favor of buying a new dump trailer. The only problem is that I am still a little short of cash which means that I will have to wait until I have saved the rest.
Being that I am from WV, buying cheap and selling for a profit, in addition to barter and trade, are simply a part of the local way of life. That said, today I bought an older model Chevy Cavalier from a family member for $300. It runs good and only has some minor problems which are easily fixed. In fact, I know the cars entire history since it was new so it's a very safe investment. After making some minor repairs, I am reasonably certain I can resell it for $1000-$2000 or potentially trade it for a truck that is worth a little more, thus making a considerable profit during the process.
Where there is a will, there is always a way.
