“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I have no idea either (I only have a few acquaintances who sell crooked stuff on ebay, but I dont want the popo knocking on my door...) but I'd like to know that, too. I'm probably gonna start selling a lot of my clothes I dont wear and stuff... ;-)

I think you would have to know what ebay buyers commonly purchase on ebay. What are the top selling items??? I know golf equipment is pretty popular....
What happens, IN HER MIND, is that she comes to see you as WORTHLESS simply because she hasn't had to INVEST anything in you in order to get you or to keep you.
You were an interesting diversion while she had nothing else to do. But now that someone a little more valuable has come along, someone who expects her to treat him very well, she'll have no problem at all dropping you or demoting you to lowly "friendship" status.

Good idea, and one I've used before. 99% of yard sale stuff is crap, but there's always that 1%. Stay away from big, bulky items that would be hard to ship. It's sometimes profitable to visit thrift stores and church sales - many times they'll have name-brand clothes (Abercrombie, etc.) that can be purchased for a dollar or two and resold for much more. I found one church sale that had about 20 pairs of A&F cargo shorts & jeans for $1 each. I sold them on ebay for about $13-16... making a nice 1300%+ profit on each. Another idea is to be an eBay seller's assistant. Many mail places (ones that take your package and ship it via FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc) will allow you to put a banner in front of their store advertising your business. For example, a "LET US DO YOUR EBAYIN' FOR YOU! (555)555-1212" is particularly effective. Charge 30% and you're set.
As for buying in bulk and reselling for less, I'd be hesitant - I'm a member of Rio Audio's ebay powerseller's private auction site where you can purchase lots of mp3 players (such as a lot of 20 Rio Nitrus 1.5gb, etc) but I've found the profits don't usually justify all of the work you do.

One thing that is a good business to get into is to sell stuff for people for a commission as someone mentioned before. I think thats your best bet.
There are places opening up now where you drop off anything you wanna sell and they sell it for you and keep 20% of the cut.
The reason why this is so popular is that buyers are weary of buying stuff with someone with no feedback. And if you already have positive feedback and lots of it you are more likely to get a larger price for an item and more likely to sell it in the first place.
Also a lot of people don't wanna bother making a whole e-bay account and going through validation processes and learning how it all works just to sell an old clock or something.
So you could offer a service where you sell for the best price possible any item people bring you, give them the money, and you keep 20%.

Ebay was good for making money at home and very profitable, BUT.. all that has changed. It's oversaturated and very competitive when it comes to prices. Ebay has gotten greedy and raised it's listing fees recently and will continue to do so to the point to where it's not even feasible to sell online. Customers are always whining and moaning about shipping and want you to include it in the price.
In short: TOO MUCH BS TO DEAL WITH.
People want something for nothing.. Hell, they want you to give it to them for free.

I wanted to hook up with chinese golf club bootleggers, and pass knockoff clubs as the real thing. I decided to stay out of jail for awhile.

I'm no ebay expert, but I would have thought, like any other business, find a niche.
Something that you are interested in and knowledgable about. Then put in some hard work, learn aout marketing, research suppliers and get best discounts etc, etc.

Is anybody in here doing a business degree or maybe has one already? I used to be into shares and the financial market when I was around 14-16 and was pretty successfull (I made a couple of thousands of euros starting with a couple of hundreds of euros) by buying the right shares (which was almost only luck I have to admit though, because I bought shares like yahoo and other IT type of stuff and that was the time when every share that had something to do with IT went through the roof for no apparent reason lol). Anyways, I started studying business management (because I thought that might be interesting if I liked shares etc. but probably depended less on luck) but was gonna quit, because I thought it was too dry, but now I decided to continue, because I felt like if you did all this stuff with real money invested it would be very interesting all of a sudden
I mean, seriously if I think about the time when I was reading all those magazines about shares and reading stuff about it on the internet, that would have been more than dry I guess, but because I had my own money on the line it was interesting...and I think starting your own business, selling stuff online and figuring out how to make the biggest profits might indeed be pretty interesting..but the downside of it, is probably that working in a big company wouldnt be as interesting and youd definetly have to start in a company where youre not your own boss, so you can get enough money...and later on success with your own business is still not granted..
