I recently moved from one address to another. When you go to the post-office, they give you a change of address form which has a crap ton of coupons inside. There are Best Buy, Lowes, Pottery Barn, etc encouraging you and the wifey to spend tons of cash on your new home.
I took the entire packet of coupons and sold them on ebay for $30 using templates. I didn't bother listing the ones that had low value, just focusing on the ones I could sell for decent coin. I sold a 10% off coupon for Best Buy for $14.90 and emailed the guy the code right after the purchase. Encourage the buyer to take email receipt instead of having to mail it, cutting down on overhead.
Thoughts for expansion:
* Sign up for every major retailers coupon mailing list (snail mail)
* Sign up for major retailer email lists (print out valuable coupons and sell them, making sure they aren't linked to your specific account)
* Grab extra change-of-mailing address forms at the post office
* Look through your local newspaper (usually the Sunday edition has the most coupons) and post them online. Find out if there's a recycling center dude who can help you out by saving the coupon stacks for you, then cut him in on the deal
I spent less than hour listing all the coupons and with templates, it could have been even faster. This is a business that is scalable with a little bit of effort, plus there is virtually no overhead. You won't get rich doing this, but it is easy cash for those who don't like complexity. Enjoy gents.
