My brother-in-law was on Trading Spaces 3 years ago and got a wretched room. The contract was air tight that the show has no liabiity and doesn't pay to "redo" anything. They called it a game show and said "not everyone gets a winning room". The real kicker was that they got a 1099 at the beginning of the year and had to pay taxes on the room they got. So not only did they have to fix the damage out of their own pocket, but they had to pay taxes on the "prize" they won, which the producers said was worth over $1500.

You don't have to be original at swap meets.  Go to one and find the hot item there.  Then make it better yourself and sell it at the next swap meet.

People are always looking for natural sleep aides. You could make a slide show type composition of your portfolio and put some relaxing or soothing music to it. Begin selling on-line. Hey it's the biggest marketplace in the world, I bet someone has a need or desire for a product like that.

I am not sure what the question really means because I don't think you can sell your signature space. I doubt if it really means anything to anyone. There are virtually millions of forums sites out there and the popular ones advertise on their own and don't allow users to have long flashy signatures. And the ones that usually do allow flashy/long signatures are crappy sites.\n\nJust my .02c

i think so if you can sell something people need at a price that is beneficial to both of you.. \n\n:) I know of people who bring in a lot of money weekly via ebay

does it really matter? are you going to sell it? if so why would you get rid of something so valuable? I don't understand how people collect things and a few years later they sell them. If I were you, I'd trade it for a dozen things that were twice the value and stuff, and if you can't do that, just keep it!

Think about a booth in a local flea market, or swap meet.  I have seen guys who have set up a little retail business selling new, custom built computers.  The overhead is cheap. Also, you could keep your inventory in your car and sell to your techno geek friends at coffee houses, etc.  I know a guy who literally had a "satchel full of blues," Cd's that he had left over after his music store failed.  He would sell them to his friends at restaurants and coffee houses.

Probably.   I use ebay a lot and have only had a few transactions (out of hundreds) go bad.   A couple of things to watch out for - never buy from a seller with less than 20 feedback comments, preferably all over a few months old.  You never want to buy from brand new seller with feedback all from the last month because in that case you never know if you are going to get your item. \n\nAlways pay via paypal or credit card because those vendors will help you negiotiate with the seller if things go south. \n\nThere are definitely bargains to be had, but you just need to be cautious.  Good luck!

Only if you are going to use it and keep using it as long as you have a contract.\n\nOtherwise, enjoy.

What country? I think if you have the money to buy the space - they will sell it to you. But if you want a check out  - that could be more difficult. You need a bank account and a trading account. it has been done in the UK by kids younger than you.

yup, it's ok. maybe you could try this: \n\ni want to source and import the following goods: jewels, watches, slippers (you name it).\n\nor \n\ni will be sourcing out (name the goods) and importing them by (date).

First of all, I have been an ebay user for 5+ years. I am so used to its interface now, honestly, any big layout changes will make me mad.  For a frequent user, the fancy or modern UI doesn't matter. New functionality however is different and will be appreciated. For example, I wish they have a way to sort or filter on the shipping cost, or make their system more reliable without regular maintenance breakdown every once a while.\n\nThe mutl-color eBay is one of most recognizable icons on the internet, live and fun.

It depends on who you ask to design it. I've seen it go from about $2 to $5, all depending on the skills of the person who made it.

Have your parents help you sell your old toys that you don't play with anymore or clothes you don't wear on eBay.  It's a great way to make money and you don't have to throw things away.  Someone's trash is another's treasure :)

You will be buying any skeletons they have in their closet.  If the seller cannot produce an accurate, detailed inventory to back up their asking price, then move on.  Also, that inventory can include discontinued styles that are no longer available for re-order.  Have them show proof that they are an authorized retailer for each line they carry and double check with each manufacturer on ther seller's order history with each designer.  Carrying discontinued styles and not being able to order from a particular vendor devalues those pieces exponentially.  I ran into those issues when thinking of buying a shop that was "valued" at 175K.  I walked away when the owner turned down an offer of 85k.  I started my own shop with brand new stock, twice the square footage, and much nicer for about 40k.  As they say in latin:  Caveat Emptor-Buyer Beware!
