either you're bullshitting or just plain rude. if you're honest then you should be telling us WHAT you do for crying out loud. you make nearly $100/hr and you're going back to school? you're making over six figures right now and you work PART TIME! what other job could you possibly want? that's anyone's dream.

my wife's sister makes $40/hr teaching music leasons to kids, and that's quite something IMHO.

i resell on ebay. mostly laptops/electronics. it has it's ups and downs. i've been providing suplimental income while i'm in school, but i plan to pump the business up full time. it takes some work, a lot of learning, and the ability to ride out dry-deal periods, and make massive buys when i find deals on items. for example, i might buy 20-40 dell laptops at a time and resell them on ebay. say pay $600 for each, resell for $800 (optimistically). i lose about $100 of that to ebay/paypal fees, shipping, etc. then $100 profit per laptop. so you do the math. USUALLY however it's more like $50 pure profit though, so there you go. and sometimes there are no deals to be found. it's ok for now, but not forever. MANAGING risk is the key. but honestly, i'd suggest reselling to anyone to try it on the side starting off. it's easy to get lured in, but you have to be terribly careful of scams, they'll come at you from every direction. you have to protect yourself, and you have to protect your merchandise, especially if you've got $20k worth of laptops in your house. it's a good way to learn about basic retail though, and once you know how to sell and find deals it will help you on everything. i spend a bit of time on fatwallet, and the folks there are rather into this method. however, most of us won't give out our "secret" niche markets. i don't really have one yet (laptops is standard fare) so there you go
Ok, you have 7 posts. Birdgirl73 has 974 posts.

I think quite a few people on this site already know what Birdgirl does. So before you call her a bullshitter or claim that she is rude, maybe you should do a little research first.

OR another possibility is asking nicely...:smokin:
