I guess I'm trying to think of something like some sort of equipment I could buy and learn to use fairly quickly that would let me earn a good amount of money. Or something I might be able to pick up cheaply and turn around and sell for a good price on ebay or craigslist or something.

Dude, if you want your money to work for you, you need to invest. eBaying and ummm using equipment require a lot of time and effort on your part so you'll still be working. Just as an example, you can get into ticket scalping where you buy tickets for shows sure to sell out and post them on eBay at a higher price. It requires you to be quick with the buying (brains/luck/fast internet), savvy about shows (research/trendwatch), and an amount of douchebaggery (moral ambiguity). For the record, I'm a concert goer and I hate hate hate those scab-ass scalpers. I think they are the scum of the earth... but they make money. You can be a full-time paparazzi. Also scum, but they can make 30K for the right photo.
I'm sure there are people on the board qualified to answer this better but there are a bunch of things you can invest in (stocks, bonds, businesses, etc.) that may provide good turn-around in time. Any book/magazine on investments should help. You can go sell real-estate in Second Life.
There's no such thing as easy money... or fast money, either (well, gambling). Homer Simpson's been trying to crack this for how many seasons now? yeahhhh...
