  6.) Buy sets and part them out. This model is sort of obsolete, because LEGO
started limiting quantity purchases around 2012. It is hard to get 100 of the
same sets to part out.

Only 1, 2, and 3 are serious business models. 4, 5, and 6 can earn you side money
every month.

LEGO has no limit on how many you can buy. There are sellers on Bricklink that
buy multiple pallets of one set for parting out. Getting 100 of one set is no
problem; it is just to place the order.

I might be confused but when buying direct from lego (except thru wholesale dealers)
you are limited to 2-5 copies of most sets. Even 3rd party sellers like Walmart,
Amazon, toysrus, etc often have a limit of 1-3 sets you can order.

It's different in Europe. Stores that have a LEGO account can order an unlimited
supply of sets.

Unfortunately, this implies a shop in brick and mortar.
I know, we tried

And ordering theme packs like all the sets from the stuntz line and minimum quarter
expense.

Also you can order most of the rest of the available items for retailers, but
I have gotten better deals from other big retailers than LEGO itself.

But there are shops that that would work for them.
