  • The listings are for auctions that all end in 6+ days, one even has 30. Wait until the deadline is closer, as in minutes before, and watch the price skyrocket. You can place a bid right now and the price will just jump up to your price. Highest bidder usually has a price higher than the listed price and will remain highest bidder unless you actually outbid their real bid. For example, if I set a bid for $200, all of those listings are below $100, I will win the auction as long as nobody bids over $200. If someone bids $150, they instantly get notified that they were outbid and the price jumps to $151. AFAIK there is no way to see the auto bid price. There are also bots that will come in at the last few seconds to try to get it at the cheapest price possible. Find auctions that are closer to ending to see what people are actually paying for products.





  • I think at your age (didn’t specify but still minor) the only real options are tutoring international students, bug bounties, and maybe remote help desk if you have any certs. You will probably need a work permit too, ask your school counselor. As a student you might also qualify for remote internships from some of the bigger tech companies aimed at students, ie Microsoft, Dell, IBM, Google. These are usually paid.

    IRL is probably a better option as has been mentioned. Put up flyers around town advertising yourself for whatever you think you can pull off. I’d start with grocery stores, apartment buildings, community centers, hospitals, the local VA office, senior centers, post office, local colleges, etc
