Casino Whoring. It's mindless and a pretty high hourly rate for the amount of work.

An honest answer is try going to estate sales around town on Saturday's then pick up any old crap for like a dollar and then try to sell it on Ebay for like 10 bucks.

Sometimes you don't. I did it for awhile and my instincts got pretty good. But you buy cheap enough so you don't lose much if you can't sell them. And if you don't sell them you haul them down to your local charity for the tax write-off. There are a lot of Internet articles about "book scouting".
