This month is the beginning of my ebay business. I've been in the collectible business in one form or another for some time and it has kept paying the taxes and keeping me from crime----well sometimes.....
Seriously: Guitaraholic, collectibles is one very good way to go. Find something in which you have some interest and see if you can deal with it. I've been doing shows as well but the internet frees up your money as shows are expensive. They are fun and a good place to buy things though.
Because I'm not able to drive because of my history of epilepsy, ebay is made for for me. I have a deal where I'll get 20% for selling for a very good friend with whom I've been doing this strange business for the last 26 years.
I sell lots of paper antiques, postcards, advdertising items, political buttons, timetables, militaria and anything else I can get my hands on. Oh.I have lots of science-fiction as well.
I need a digital camera soon but one can still scan polaroids or Kodaks as well. Feel free to email me if you need more info on this business. I know some of the ups and downs.
All the best and see you in chat.
