You had me a little nervous there for a second!
 
I SECOND THAT!!!


I just sold 4 of my daughter's summer/spring outfits from last year for over $60.. Now I have money for her new spring wardrobe!!
 
I knew you wouldn't be selling PC! You'd get caught by us too quickly! LOL! Glad you could do that!

I wish I had stuff to sell on eBay! I may find things when I start going through all my boxes from my moves in the last 2 years! I'm just not sure if I would profit more from eBay or a Yard Sale!! Just have to wait and see!
 
I am soooo thankful for EBAY right now. My boyfriend is selling a lot of classic car parts from when his grandfather was a dismantler in the 20-30's. With me being unemployed since October and his pay getting cut drastically it is helping us get by and pay the bills right now. YAY for EBAY!

Thats kinda what we are doing now, except its drag racing car parts instead of classic. We are putting them up on craigslist first though, then moving to Ebay.
 
I have some things that I'd like to sell (of course NOT PC). Are there fees to sell on craigs list or ebay? Could someone email me about this?
 
Craigslist is free, Ebay has fees upon fees upon fees.
 
Ebay does have a lot of fee's and if you are selling minimal items it can be outrageous. My boyfriend is a Power Seller and gets a good discount on the fee's. With his store and all the fee's we pay an invoice of approximately $100 a month but in the end it seems to be well worth it because of the volume he has on there.

Craigslist is great if you want to sell to a local market and it is free!
