[TheForge] selling on ebay

[Steve Smith]

You could just buy some junk at Walmart and resell it.
I suppose there is a good chance this is net folklore, but the story I 
heard was of a school class that did this and got more money back than 
the stuff cost.

There are certainly many ebay auctions like that--just like at a live 
auction, only more-so.

I got lucky with my first item. I had a Swiss coil winding machine that 
I got cheap from a friend who got it surplus...two guys bid each other 
up to $800. I was *very* impressed, to say the least.

I find dabbling in ebay once and awhile to be a lot of fun (buying or 
selling).
