It may sound silly, but I just took a short course by one of the E-Bay instructors listed on E-Bay. The classes were a good investment as I learn several tricks of trading, ways to get free stuff and a place to turn if I have problems. This teacher I had has a "support" group in our area that meets monthly to share different possiblities and opportunities for selling. In fact, I learned so much that I am going to clean house and plan on selling a lot of stuff that is no longer needed. Actually, I am looking forward to having an E-Bay sale like a garage sale without the hassle of having people come to my home. I look at the class as a way to pay for more chips.
