Hi Diem.
What impresses me is this.
"I bought and sold second-hand laptops. Now, in this case, I didn't always sell on eBay. However, I often bought on eBay - and sold through the local trade newspaper. I could make hundreds of bucks per sale!"
I am sure many of us would like the full details on this. What kind of laptops?
Which newspaper did you sell them in, can this still be done today?
