[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 147657, member: 47"] Especially if they are like mine who could sell ice to Eskimo's, and swampland in Florida. A while ago someone gave him a car with a blown engine. He rebuilt it via Craigs list and chat rooms for Honda's getting parts here and there - each part he took off and replaced he turned around and sold, which financed the next part. I had no idea there was such an underground market for auto parts SO had a 72 Dodge Dart that has been sitting in the driveway - he was restoring it but his health sort of put an end to that. So I suggested he let Dan sell it - anything over his price of 1,500 Dan got to keep. Took two weeks and he found a buyer. Someone gave SO a camera lens that has been sitting here gathering dust. Its for a camera he doesn't even own, and the lens has never been used - in fact, it was given to SO with the receipt from Fedco showing that someone paid 149.00 for it 20 years ago. Gave it to Danny, and voila, he sold it for 75.00 - guy is comming today to pick it up LOL. More parts for his new car and some of it going to Mom for the cell phone :) So we are going thru the house pulling out stuff we don't use, and letting him sell on Craigs list. Neither SO or I have the time or patience to do it. I have had two garage sales, and couldn't sell the Sega Genesis system from years ago - he sold it and the three games for 70.00 in no time flat He is really good at selling "stuff" and has always liked to wheel and deal so we suggested he start his own little business of selling other peoples "stuff".. Make up business cards and pass them out saying for a percentage he will do the work and get it sold. He is never going to be doing the 9 to 5 thing thats for sure. Marcie [/QUOTE]
