"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Making the most of MY life
I need some good advice on how to use ebay as a small income for me. Im at college 5 days a week, which makes working away from home hard. Can you please give me some ideas and tips on how i can create a strong income using ebay, taking into consideration im from Australia (AUS Ebay). Thanks

I check certain websites myself that I know sell refurbished quality stuff. For instance 2 weeks ago i bought an Audiovox home surround speakers, DVD player, stand etc for 150$ and they charge only 5$ shipping for any of their items no matter size/weight. I sold it back on ebay for 250$ not including 80$ shipping.

A lot of people on ebay make back money through shipping and handling. You will see acutions listed as 99 cents and then someoen bids on it thinking they are getting a steal and dont realize they are going to pay 20 dollars in shipping.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I've never understood how the shipping on ebay works, from a seller’s perspective? How do you determine the price of shipping/cost at the close of the sale?

Well that depends on the product you are selling. You basically can take the pounds and ebay has a program that estimates the cost to ship to USA or out of country. As the seller you can do whatever you want.

You can say, shipping included, or buyer pays for shipping, or just include the shipping price already. You can choose to make the price of shipping more than what it would be for profit or not. You can also make insurance for shipping mandatory or not. Its really up to you.

Diablo, what are some of the things you sell?

I started selling on ebay over a year ago, but it's actually fairly time consuming for the minimum amount of money I was making.

I wasn't even BUYING anything to sell, just stuff I had that I didn't want anymore.


Do you make a decent income from it? Like enough to replace a part time job someone our age would have.

Anything I can get my hands on... from clothes to cologne to patches and everything in between... sometimes it's profitable (the past 2 months I netted over 2k in profit), sometimes I'm glad I work hourly - if nothing else, it's a good safety net... and eBay is a good 'bonus' - even though you shouldn't rely solely on it as your primary source of income (unless you're a titanium powerseller or somesuch...)

I have been playing around with amazon lately, and i am loving it.

I sold all the school books that i had left over from last year. At the bookstore they said i can get $40 back, i went on amazon and got $100.

I am now talking my friends into letting me sell their old books as well, for the 30% cut.


Diablo, the stuff you find for cheap, are we talking online or garage sales/ stores?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
