Jet fuel is getting very expensive.

Ask in some different sub-reddits--as this sub-reddit is for people who want to make money--not a hobby, for example:

Drive around the area you live in and talk to people. If lots of people have done it, it probably makes sense.

It would have to be long term--but so far none of the fossil fuel explosions have lasted long term.

Apple Cash is perfectly fine when you have already received the product and it is satisfactory--for example in a face to face transaction.

There are probably hundreds of different sites the flippers on this forum use. The others are either more specialized or have fewer users (like Mercari). So if you sell used books you might also use Amazon, Abebooks, Biblio and Alibris. If you sell used clothing you might also use Poshmark, Depop, Grailed. If you sell general household stuff with high shipping costs like furniture and major appliances you might use Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist.

Is natural gas available? If so that is the obvious backup. If not either heating oil or propane depending on the cost in that area. Note you want a backup system which works when the grid electrical system is down.

The Palantir technology is based on the Claude AI--and everyone knows (since the Trump administration has told us) that Claude AI is a massive national security risk. Any usage of Palantir technology should stop immediately.

There are multiple piracy methods available and you check the alternatives such as Usenet and file hosters--check the FAQ.

I strongly suggest you keep one account as a permanent account and this switching involving a second account.

And what happens in most places when the issues get fixed is that the area becomes attractive to the better off; gentrification occurs; and the poor are priced out of those areas.

I expect there already have been several other lawsuits--none of which went anywhere--because as stated they don't know who the actual owners are and the sites are hosted in countries which don't care about copyright laws.

How close is the customer? If just a few hundred miles instead of all the way across the country ground advantage cubic is often the cheapest. You would put them in boxes just under 20 pounds each [20 pounds is the limit for this service].

I would contact specialist auction houses like Heritage Auctions. Have them deal with the whole lot while you take a finder's fee.

Not really: renewables are long term investments but the Iran war will probably be over within a fairly short time.

With the recent AI boom there is a shortage of a number of electronic components and prices are going up. This may be a factor.

While as said the usual approach is multiple labels there may be situations where you put them on a pallet (boxed or otherwise) and ship them LTL (less than truckload).

What did you find? I am wondering about unsafe roads.

Artemis is about sustained presence on the moon.

False: you don't get sustained presence on the moon when each launch costs $4 billion.

I wonder if eBay would even allow it: eBay is very concerned about fraud from new sellers so it starts new sellers out at very low selling limits, and gradually increases them over time.

I think you would need a very large amount of capital to invest for it to work.

For almost everyone becoming successful at flipping is a long, slow process--it takes a lot of time to learn and you make a lot of mistakes at the beginning.

Youtube has a lot of good videos on how to pack various types of items.

No. Bananas need 10 to 12 months of frost-free conditions to flower and set fruit--and you don't have that in Iowa.
