    There is a featured called "Sold Listings" which will only show you the sold listings that have been completed (you might already know this). This helps me personally to know what I can expect an item to sell, and also map the time of the highs and lows. You can search an item, and then on the...

    It can be, but if you find the right way of seeing what is being explained to you in concepts that are familiar to you then it get's easier. It's no walk in the park, but once you grasp the theories or the why's, then you think back and say "huh, this makes sense". For example when I was 14 I...

    You're going to need to "Fake it, till you make it." Design is one of those things that is a balance. You need to balance everything, is the shadow too much, is the color too much, do these colors complement each other, are the items too close...etc. I would definitely, recommend you read about...

    I'm not sure I fully understand the situation. Ethics is a personal matter, that humanity has generalized to describe when something you're doing is not right. In stupid form, ethics could boil down to "Treat others, like you would like to be treated" at least for me. This is tough, because in...

    Wow, that Apple video is DOPE! Thanks for that, I had never seen it before. The thing about trying to fit in, is that you're trying to get people to notice something about you that has value, instead of just doing what you do to keep increasing your value. You'll never fit in to every circle...

    In the development world it's hard to impress other developers (we are very critical), so you kind of have to change the mindset, if that is one of the frames that you are in. In general if someone else says there solution is better, ask how and why, just out of curiosity and to expand your...

    Well if you think you have your guy, then I don't know if I would hire a someone to do a code review. The code review could end up being counter productive and perhaps a waste of money and time. If you have seen your guy's products and like how the UI and UX is and how the flow of the...
