Okay folks, how are you going to launch your new career on E-bay?
I think I'll put up my income tax bill for the year, since I haven't benefitted from any ole tax cut. Someone else may want to pay it. Actually, I'll include all the local tax bills that have gone up because everyone else who got a tax cut make a lot more money than the folks in my little community.

4. I'm gonna sell my empty pop can.
Hopefully it'll sell for 25 cents, so I can make more money from it instead of recycling it. :silly: :crazy:

5. The pathetic thing is...
Edited on Fri Sep-10-04 04:23 PM by A_Possum
I have a friend who is a highly-trained tekkie, lost his job, worked selling cars, couldn't make a living at it (cars not selling,) and is now in desperation mode, trying to figure out if he can make money on ebay selling ANYTHING.

I feel for him.

7. I sell on ebay like a yard sale to pay bills......I believe there were
people who 5 years ago did ok on ebay but not now. The fees are higher and there are too many
'dollar' store type sellers - low cost - low quality

You also have to watch out for scammers.

you have to work harder to get a good price.

Whatever I get is not income since my initial cost was much higher on the items......

I've heard of people doing that, after all. Amazing what people will buy. :shrug:

11. I'm going to look for some IBM Composer font balls (elements) to sell.
Seriously, if I had a box of those I would put in a reserve of at least $10,000.

Check out ebay item # 3837267532 that sold on September 8.

12. Well, I've got a gold-capped molar
So, I'm going to yank it out with a pair of pliers and sell it. I was thinking about getting a webcast tie-in so people could watch me yank it out.
