    GOLD! SOURCING 
    I still have the tail end of Christmas orders coming in. I ordered most everything about 2 weeks ago. Some of my suppliers are better at shipping immediately than others. I am hoping to sell most of this by the end of November and get a reorder done and received by the 7th of December. We will...

    Sales are starting to ramp up for Christmas. I Sold 25k in all of October. So far in November I have sold 21k and haven't even hit the busiest time yet. Next weekend will be crazy! If you have items listed set some time aside to ship them out cause they will be selling!

    So what he essentially did was took a slow lane plan (inheritance,saving, etc.) and turned it fast lane by lying and getting on yahoo. Talk about scale! He was making $10-$75 on each person who followed through on his blog sponsors! I bet he made quite a bit of $$$$. Granted it was short lived...

    Great advice! Anything that helps people I am all for sharing. One word of caution. Be sure to pay through Paypal with a credit card and make sure to mark it as a purchase not a gift. Paying with a credit card will help double protect you if this nice person happens to be a scammer. You would...

    It really is up to you how much competition you want to deal with. As a new seller it is extremely hard to get sales for a very competitive item. The bigger sellers will get the "best match" and take a good chunk of the sales. Many times they will also be able to get their products cheaper cause...

    Using the "Dead Cat Bounce" to invest

    INVESTING 
    Today there is a perfect example of a stock I am looking to trade. The only thing is this hasn't dropped enough so I won't be buying it. CSTM earnings were 1 cent below expectations and dropped 20%. Volume for the day is 4 mil as of right now. It hit its 52 week low today. It is a billion+...

    Using the "Dead Cat Bounce" to invest

    INVESTING 
    I check the market once a day around 2:30 central time and see if there are any stocks that look interesting. If I buy one I set trailing stop loss and then check it premarket to see if profit is good enough to sell. One way or another i always sell it the next day even if profit is minimal. I...

    Using the "Dead Cat Bounce" to invest

    INVESTING 
    Everyday i check the stock lists for the one that has dropped the most for the day. I look for a stock that has dropped around 50% that day but for all the right reasons.(bad earnings came out etc.) The stock had to have a volume higher than 1 mil on that day. I don't buy drug companies at all...

    INVESTING 
    I have been investing in the stock market for over 10 years. Put some in mutual funds, actively traded stocks etc. Most of the investments have been losses or some complete losses (GM and Circuit City were 2 investments that didn't turn out so well.) I have started using the investing method...

    The 60k would be profit. The amount of cash that is returned to me after taking out eBay fees, shipping costs, and paying off the orginal purchases. So the 60k is money in the bank. Depending on how fast I sell the items will dictate my reorder and size of reorder. If I'm tracking to be sold...

    That is one huge reason why I don't use them hardly at all. The shipping costs will absolutely eat you alive. The last thing i ordered from there was 25 damaged iPod touches. I was charged $60-$70 for shipping and I received it in a Priority Medium flat rate box (actual cost to ship closer to...
