Learn a collectible market...it's worth the 20 to 40 hours it takes to study and learn the basics. Once you learn a collectible market you should be able to double your profit since there is a lot less competition and collectors are willing to pay much more than for items they can get at any store. I started out trying to make $5 profit per auction after all expenses and slowly moved into collectibles because that was where the money was - now I shoot for a profit of $25+ per item.
