Kerry Franciscovich describes herself as a lifelong garage-sale scavenger, reselling her finds over the years on EBay Inc. So when she wanted to earn some extra spending money, she decided to step up her online game. 

With merchandise she bought from Bulq.com, a new online business that sorts and repackages returned items into boxes and pallets, she listed still-new items on her Amazon.com Inc marketplace account and sold others through EBay. Even keeping about half the items, she made US$253 (RM1,031) for about four hours of work, more than doubling her money.
