    Chinese manufacturer's and expensive, "express" shipping costs for samples

    I'm wondering the same thing. I ordered a few samples last week ~6lbs and it cost $56 standard shipping through DHL. They justified the more expensive shipping because it would go through customs easier and they said they've had problems shipping with the standard Hong Kong Postal Service...

    Are you a late or early person?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I'm always early to everything. Maybe only 5 minutes or so, but I'm never late. Being in sales, it would be killer if I showed up late. The maps app on the iphone is a lifesaver and it's pretty damn accurate, even during rush hour.

    3D Printing

    HOT! 
    I see this market being a pretty lucrative one in the near future when it becomes more commercialized and prices come down. As far as what I've done, I bought a few domains that I am squatting on for the time being that I think will be more valuable (from a resell and business sense) when costs...

    Two big ones that I have read were 4 hour work week and the original Rich Dad Poor Dad. I'll be honest though, I read those a while ago.. I dont see much value in reading books now a days. Some classic fictional books might be the exception. I would rather spend my time reading forums...

    haha yeah, that's kind of what I figured. I feel the same way with my friends, I know a lot of people getting new cars and buying nice watches after graduating college and Im still rolling around in my 12 year old Corolla and watch from HS. I've come to realize though, I wouldn't want it any...

    Not sure if i shall enter the real estate market?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Road Runner, Why are you wanting to buy it with all cash? I would finance it with 25% down. It will minimize your cash out lay as well as increase your return from a cash on cash basis. I don't know how you are making 6.5% in your current investments, but I wouldn't buy any real estate that...

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    If you are unsure which of the 3 scenarios it is, pull up all of the past sales for each seller. Is he a top seller? Does he have a lot of feedback? How many items does it say he sold in the listing?

    How's this for anti-fastlane?? I don't see how I would be able to sleep with this much SCHOOL debt looming over my head! According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, approximately 167,000 Americans have more than $200,000 of student loan debt.

    I think this is a absolute no brainer! What are you waiting for?! If there are other sellers, it must be a viable product. If you can be first on google, you will get a lot of traffic. And you wont have to deal with all of the competition on the online marketplaces.
