Not being a tax guy, I'm not sure if it would go under capital gains, business profit, or miscellaneous income.

My card sales etc, get claimed as miscellaneous income. They are also pretty small. And since my wife is in the computer industry taxed pretty heavily. (No that that's a bad thing)
Hmmmm….. if I call the odd bits of "Junk" I sell "assets" maybe I can call it capital gains instead and save a few percent.. Nah, best to just pay the higher rate and have no problems.
