This is a joint venture by myself and 4 local yards. I have literally thousands
of boating items (new and used) to sell and have only started. It started out
as a favor and now is making a surprising profit for me. Most yards have
hundreds of discarded or unsold items lying around, so I contacted them and
struck a deal. With the sale of a single electronics package, I paid for my
slip and bottom painting. Not a bad deal.
Anyone needing any gear should keep a lookout at my auctions. There will be
thousands of items listed over the coming months...some old and some recent.
None are "stolen" and buyers are free to check as all serial numbers are
intact. The best part of all of this is that it's FUN and easy and cost nothing
to start. Intitially I sold stuff within the clubs, but there's far, far too
much now. Watch and see. How about brand new old stock Raytheon radar packages
for half price? Nav lighting? Lorans? GPS? VHF? Winches? I even have sails and
rigging, some new.
Sorry, I can't be involved with the "wars" here anymore. I was always the
winner anyway. But if anyone wants to talk sailing I'm all for it.

LOL!!! My wife said the same thing. She said I'm like the nautical version of
Fred Sanford now. Still, she's happy we have no yard bills for the new season.
The auctions are going GREAT and I just started. It's a lot of fun as well.

Has anyone called the police yet? Give it time, give it time.

GOOD LUCK NUTSY!!!

Great idea and a good way to mess around boat!! Keep it honest and you
should be able to cut into the "Defender" market.

As long as he reports the income, can actually attest to the items not
being stolen, is willing to pay the upfront ebay fees, deal with the
shipping
hassles (oh and deal with the ripoff artists on ebay and the ones who show
up at his door), and the weirdos who leave bad feedback or scream at you
even if everything goes perfectly, then he'll do fine.

"Honest" is the only way to go on ebay. So far so good. Bidding is really going
nicely.

I can't wait, I'll be buying Defender this year and next year I'll put West
Marine out of business. Why hell I may even buy ebay.

Good luck! We have sold several 1000 items on ebay. Only 2 neg
feedbacks.
I like to buy marine stuff on ebay as well. Got a nice ritchie
compass, and sails for the dink, line, sunbrella ect.. Why pay full
price if you can get it on ebay?


What are you charging to sell other peoples stuff? 50%

I would not go thru the hassle for less, and it would be great if you
could get them to ship it, and not get bad shipping feedback. Thats
what I hate the shipping hassle. Do you use the free priorty shipping
supplies from the post office? The free tape is great, has 100's of
boat uses BTW.

Shouldent you be focusing on your directing career?
Seems like that would be much better money.
Your new venture is going to consume mucho time.

And if your in between shooting feature films,
shouldent you be networking with stars?

Ebay is great money, but lots of work unless you find that magic
product that will direct ship and you double your money for the
efforts. Just sit back and hit the re-list button.


BTW this is off topic.

Well, the next best thing to a successful writing/directing carreer is
a stint on e-bay.
