We all experienced the joys of victory and the agony of defeat in our lives.  That's what selling and buying on E bay is to me. The young ones would say " it's a rush". My generation would say "it's a blast" or "cool man".  If you have underfunded your retirement account like I have, chances are you have funded a household or buniness full of collectables and just stuff. When you bought it it seemed the right thing to do. Now, it's just collecting dust. Think about it! Do we really need all this stuff?

    Time to turn that stuff into ca ching!!!!! It's so easy. I had alot of left over scuba gear that i no longer used or wanted. So one day after thinking about what to do with all of it I came across E bay and decided to take the plunge.  The first week listing  netted over $500.00 for 6 items. No too bad considering that it was just stuff cluttering up the place before that. Now i'm hooked.... I would guess time invested about 7 hours total, listing, packaging and taking the stuff to the local postman plus.    That's close to $75.00 an hour.  Pritty good return to say the least just turning stuff into ca ching.  

     The key to E bay is trust. Look at your buyers and sellers feed back. That is a good indicator how trustworthy they are. Stay away from the ones that have excess negative and neutral feed back.  You can always report a bad buyers or seller to E bay and they do take that seriously.  Try to describe your items for sail accurately. If it's broke " say so". Some people might be looking for just parts. Trash or cash? Ask yourself that.

     Hopefully i have inspired you to take the plunge as well. What you do with your profits is your decision. To me right now I'm just turning stuff into cash and it feels like tony the tiger use to say GGrrrrreeeeeaaaaaatttttt.
