SOLD - Scuba DPVs, Bitty Babies, and Ebay Fees

Added on 09/20/06 by Betsy

Buenos Dias from the resale queen, Betsy Smith- you may know me from my long run as star of Croncast, a podcast my husband forces me to do 3 times a week. Kris- thats the other half of Croncast and my man of la mancha had the brilliant idea of building this nifty site for me.

I have been selling on Ebay for 6 years. That's 6 years of dumpster diving, Goodwill hunting and garage saleing.

Everybody thinks its nifty to buy something for 50 cents and sell it for 50 bucks, and Ebay has become the stay at home mommy home biz of the new millenium- kind of like catering and real estate was back in the 80s. While selling on Ebay is fairly straightforward, the difficult part is knowing what sells and for how much. This is where the hard work comes in. If you like to stay up until 1am bleary eyed reading completed Care Bear auctions in order of highest to lowest price- then join me compadre as we venture forth on the journey to turn garbage into gold.

As an added bonus Ebay has set up a system to allow click throughs to related auctions as well as links to become a member if there is anyone left on the planet who does not have an Ebay user ID. I will be adding keywords from my topic du jour which will bring links of Ebay merchandise auctions to this site, so please click. . . (read post)
