Buying and selling offline

I need some ideas here. For years I've bought and sold cars and even had my dealers license at one point. I'm very good at buying and selling cars and it's a great way to make extra cash. I rarely do a deal that doesn't profit at least 1k and I can usually turn them over pretty fast and it's something I can do with out much effort.

With that said, cars are problematic in regard to space and dealing with titles, so I'm looking for something new that I can buy and sell locally with out dealing with car titles and large objects that take up too much space.

I'm curious if others have ideas on something that sells well on the local level as FTF selling goes and still has good profit. I've toyed with electronics, but that's usually too much nickel and dimes. I don't want to screw with stuff that only makes me $50 or $100 bucks unless it's something very easy to buy cheap and offload.

With cars I usually buy and sell in the $1500 to 5k range, with $2k to $2.5k usually being the sweat spot on the buy that allows for a easy cash selling point. I'd like to find something similar that I could buy and sell that allows similar profits with out dealing with something the size of a car.

Anyone have ideas for me?
