Ebay experiment - making money online

Hi all,

Well done with the first week of listing and selling some old stuff I had and ta da - $80 this week. Not too bad for some quick Christmas money without having to go work a real job. Ebay has always been a fun place to sell and bid, but they got horrible quick if you are a seller. So now I have a new philosophy...sell stuff that you want to get rid of and make sure the listing fees are free. So far so good. Gotta go in my basement and find more stuff this week - and extra $300 or so a month would go along way. www.ebay.com to try your hand at selling online or look for my auctions - makeup_gir... ok so I was missing the L in girl but I am ok with it. Good luck and talk to ya later

Craigslist - Today's Money Making idea

Hey all,

Ok I know you have all heard of Craigslist.com and have heard of the scammers and things that go on, but it is really a great way to make money without paying anything! Last month I made about $200 after having a crappy rummage sale, I posted the other items that I had left on Craigslist. Some of them sold within a few hours! Here a few tips for listing your items.

1. Price a bit higher but not too high - people like to negotiate
2. Use the anonymous email option
3. Put your phone number only if it a high ticket item and put spaces in it so you dont get fake calls
4. Use pictures - craigslist is free - pictures sell your items.
5. Remember what you think is junk - other people treasure and it is much easier to list on craigslist than sit for hours at a rummage sale.

Good luck and post your successes!
