In Six Months, Or Less, This Business Could Take Off. Now Is The Time To Get In On It..

Hi Michael,

Thanks! Your post reminds me of something I stumbled on to last year....

I had bought an inexpensive, new Australian scenic 2002 wall calendar, for a little project I was going to try. The project didn't end up going ahead, so I decided to sell the calendar on eBay.... No use wasting it.

The calendar just cost me $2. But on eBay, I sold it for about $14 !

There was a bidding war between two people, one in Germany and one in New York state. The person in New York state eventually won....

She sent me an email after she won the auction. She told me that she was an Australian living and working in the USA, and she was feeling a bit homesick.... That's why she HAD to have that calendar - it reminded her of home! The only place she knew where to get one from New York state was through my auction!

That got me thinking... How many homesick Aussies are there living outside of Australia who would also want an Australian scenic calendar? Unfortunately, it was too late in the year for me to take advantage of this realization....

But this applies elsewhere too. How many homesick Americans are there living abroad, who would love to have an American scenic calendar? It's hard to get these overseas! How many English are living overseas, who have little way of getting a scenic English calendar? And so on....

This is another "seasonal" business which I believe there is a demand for.... Service your homesick fellow countrymen living overseas, by selling them things which remind them of home. Many will pay a higher price to get them, to at least return home in their hearts....
