Of all the things that I have ever done, one of the funnest and most addicting things I started doing to reverse the cash flow in our house was to start selling stuff on eBay. This financial plan was not well thought through, and I am sure to have some level of regret at tax time, but I have to say that cleaning the ever present junk out of my house and making money while doing it is very appealing!
I suppose that I could have just had a garage sale in the front yard. I could have sold the empty Avon bottles and hair pieces posing as tissue box covers in person, but lets face the facts. I'm lazy and avoid generating any physical effort if at all possible (and there's way too much packing and unpacking of items and moving of furniture in the yard sale business).
Here's some more good news... I have made a total of three new friends whom work at the local post office, and I'm almost on a first name basis with my mail carrier! Befriending government employees can never be a bad thing, right?
Now, I can't tell you that there are no crazy people that wander into the cyber yard I set up in My eBay. In reality, there are way more crazy people online that I have ever met in any city in Texas. However, atleast I have the comfort of not smelling their garlicky breath as they call me explicit names and threaten with retaliation, right? I can get let my frustrations with them out in the privacy of my home before driving to the post office to visit my new friends.
