People are still making money on eBay...!

Thought I'd share my recent ebay "chattel" find...I have an interest in art, drawings, paintings, art prints, etc..So I walk into our local Peddler's Mall and not five minutes into the store I see an art print hanging low on a display booth wall that I recognize immediately...it's a Paul Detlefsen farm print. Price-$2. I knew immediately it was worth roughly 10 times that amount on ebay, give or take ...depending on the variables that come into play when you sell on ebay, like TIMING, etc. Another thing I find all the time, especially in the Peddlers Mall, are BOOKS, and...BOOKS WITH ART PRINTS or MAPS, or...? a lot of "things"...Acres of Diamonds all over that store and many others just like it. I agree with Gordon on using ebay more for "competitive intelligence" with the addition of also using it to build a LIST OF BUYERS. Just like Jim Straw wrote somewhere about info. buyers never buying just "one" of any info. product. They buy many different and related info. products. Well, a BUYERS LIST of "COLLECTORS"...like BOOK COLLECTORS, PRINT COLLECTORS, etc. They don't just buy one... Fun way for some, to "pick up" those "diamonds" laying around that everyone else just can't "see".
