Steve

Im a 44 year old self employed ambitious &  single small buisness man.  

 Ive been buying & selling off & on since the early 80's in southern California.

 Im now in Grants Pass southern Oregon.

I have found Ebay to be a good resorce for buying & estimating costs/values,.... but not so much for selling  because   1) You have to have a ready supply of quality product , it has to be cheep to ship...ie..light weight......and there has to be a high demand. 

Ebay has a tendencey to flood the market with what used to be sought after items, but now everyone and there brother is selling "antiques" on Ebay wich drives down prices but the shipping cost is getting higher....thats buisness...lol.

 Good things to sell are rare , vintage & antique very small items...and high end items like cars & motorcycles.  I find it hard to sell the average mass produced stuff unless Your really invested and know how to get it wholsale..otherwise the world is flooded with cheep Chinese junk.  Ebay is flooded with wholesale junk. I look for single person single item auctions.
