Where I've been so far

>I sold antiques and collectibles for years in Wisconsin at auctions, in antique malls, and when it first started, on Ebay. We have moved away from Wisconsin now and live in the Caribbean. One day, I will be too old or too lazy to work at a "real" job, so I decided to get the internet to work for me.

I still sell on Ebay from time to time. Last year I sold a penny from 1784 for over $2000! But the whole Ebay thing has changed alot. It takes a great deal more effort to be successful on Ebay. So I am branching out and I wanted you to be able to see how it really goes. I figure if you see what I did and how successful it was (or not) you will be able to save yourself alot of time in your own entrepreneurial efforts.

Right now, I am building and online store which you can look at if you will. I'm still putting items on at this point and haven't sold anything yet. Most of the items come from SMC in California and the profit margin is huge, but everybody and his brother is trying to sell SMC stuff. I think it's all in the presentation. More on that later.

The plan for the site is to add local crafts and art from around the Caribbean and as I do, I can decrease the SMC footprint in the store. I am also paying someone else to list items: $1.00 per listing, which saves me tons of time and helps someone else earn money.

So this is the beginning stage. Let's see where it goes.
