The Prize - Travel

I have not looked at things with a realistic eye nor should I. This is an experiment and I am going to dream big, bold, and unrealistic.

The three locales that jump to the front of my mind when it comes to spending my moneys earned are:

A caveat to Aruba is that a coworker of mine is bashing it from her trip. In her words it is a desert with a beach and is infested with man sized iguanas. These are the words of diva and have yet to sway my plans.

So now I need to jump start my eBay/Garage Sale empire but what is my niche? Where does my knowledge base center?

No hits on my Items on eBay

The first road block has arose with funding my travel to far off exotic places. My two items, the first items, did not sell and no money was made. Actually to be clear I am $1.00 in the hole in my mini-project to raise enough through eBay by January to travel somewhere cool.


I have made an observation:
  • I am not going to move enough items at $ 0.50 to fund my travel if I am selling two items at a time.
  • There are too many video games posted on the internet to make any steady sales, I need a niche market.
  • I need to visit more garage sales, I have only visited that one since starting this social experiment.
We will see if I can right the ship before it become too late
