  If it was easy, everyone would do it. Nothing TOO difficult, as much as it is time consuming.

  I'm able to split the responsibilities with my wife, so it lessens the work load a bit.

  But seriously I'll probably make around $8-10k on the year. Which is fine by me for summer work and part time jobs during school.

  It's really not that much. I know plenty of people in my personal life that make more than that per year.

  It's 15% of the votes in the poll, which is about correct for the income distribution in the U.S.

  I'm not sure why that would be surprising. The OC tends to be more educated and affluent than the rest of the US, and we have a number of professionals on here. It's not like $125k is some ridiculous amount of money--as QCB pointed out, it's about the 85th percentile, so in a truly random survey we'd expect about 15% to respond. Right now, it's around 18%. With small samples sizes, selectivity in reporting, and the general OC demographics, this shouldn't be surprising.
  
  
  My base salary is pretty easily googlable at this point, though the bonus can vary substantially. But it still seems pretty crass to post the outright numbers.

  In 2009, 12.1% of households made between 100-149K/yr. If you just assume half(which it's probably more) are 2-worker families, than around 6% of individuals make 125K a year.

  I'm willing to bet what you're doing is illegal, since most of those photos are likely copyrighted.

  Depends. If he's getting the pictures off a site where freelance photographers openly share, it very well may not be illegal.
  
  The issue I would see would be that the sites are possibly not designed for profiting off the images, and it very well may be frowned on to do so (hence why it could be against the TOS/TOU).
  
  You could be right, though, since I don't actually know what he's doing.

  I'm willing to bet you are wrong. There are no copyrights at all. ebay is very strict on that. You get 3 copyright violations, and they shut you down. Then you have to start from scratch relisting everything IF eBay decides to unsuspend your account. And trust me, it takes a while to make over 10,000 listings. Its not worth risking losing all that time just to list a copyrighted photo. There is absolutely nothing illegal about what I do.

  I make $11 per year, which leads me here
  
  I'll prolly make 40K this year. Which only makes me want to go back to school and finish my degree all the more.

  Has some NASCAR-fan-looking-dude ever offered you sexual favors in exchange for some free celebrity pics at a fair?

  I'm looking at this link, which uses 2003 numbers and says that 16% of American families earn $100K or more. On our poll, I'd ballpark about 22-23% making over $100K. Considering (1) we're not a representative sample (more educated/affluent than average America), (2) these are 2003 numbers, so they're likely higher, (3) we're going to have self-selection bias, (4) we're pretty close to those numbers as it is, and (5) we're dealing with a small sample size--I think the poll numbers above are likely accurately reported. They don't jump out as immediately off-base.
  
  If 20% of OCers claimed to make $500K or more, then sure, I'd be suspicious. But I wouldn't be surprised if 20% of the people responding to this poll are some combination of doctors, lawyers, engineers, small business owners, etc. who make an upper-middle class income.
