I'll speak from experience that the buying/reselling on Craigslist will be hard in smaller metros, especially ones where you have to drive far to get between buyers/sellers. The gas costs alone could eat away at your profit.

When I lived in Seattle, WA, I would buy/resell everything from stereo equipment and sporting goods to high end office chairs and make about $500 - $1,500/month with about 10 hours of work a week. Goodwill and thrift stores were gold mines but YMMV.
