Robots I wish I knew how to sell things on EBay.  My kids do not want theor junk and I am drowning in it.  Baseball cards, comic book collection, books, all kinds of stuff they refuse to take or do not want to fool with.

Good grief, it's bad enough I walked into his joke but now we are posting the very same thing!  What's going on here, lol!

Robots maybe you can direct us to a really good easy tutorial on selling on Ebay.  I have seen whole books about it and that makes me think it is difficult to do.

I think selling on ebay just takes a certain mindset, kinda like some folks are good at gambling, some folks are good at retail sales, etc. it would appear some folks are really good at ebaying.

hmmm... yea forget the books, that is a LOAD

i would go to the ebay site and register on the site ( ebay) and follow  ONE item that you like kind of like pretend to purchase it, follow it
how many bids, what it sold for, etc etc etc

when it sells and the auction is over you can use the "SELL a similiar item" feature and BINGO it will walk you right thru it

[nonesuche]

robots what kind of items do you sell? and how do you source those?

Well Robots I hope you clean up on 20 cent day that does sound like a good deal.

Carnut, I am warning you that if we show up and there is no candy, you won't like the consequences.  Not everything is fun you know!

None, I am punchy too still taking cold meds and think they keep me awake.  At first I thought it was the Godiva chocolate coffee so didn't have any today so must be the cold meds.

Goodnight all, have to get some sleep and my little woofers start woofing at daylight regard;less of when I go to bed.  They just don't seem to care.

One last EBay post then I am in bed.  I know a couple that sell thngs from Harbor Freight Tools and have it shipped directly to their Ebay buyer.  They just mark everything in the catlalog up and resell it and give instructions to Harbor Freight Tool to ship to the address that bought it.
