I Cheated! I Earned $2200

My Business rent is due on the 7th of each month. This is based on when I signed the lease.  About this time every month I really have to hustle to pay all the bills that come due plus the rent. 

This month was worse than most.  We got a free car that I spent time and money trying to get going. It still runs rough.  I got involved in a $10,000 challenge and spent time trying to get that going. All of this at the expense of my full time business, selling on Ebay.

I really got behind and was wondering if I would be able to pay the rent on time.  I do not have internet marketing in place making enough money to even talk about. Last month I made under $150 in IM

Sharon, my wife, and I brainstormed what to do.  We searched for items that would sell for more than our average $10 to $20 sales.  We found them. 

We will pay the rent on time.  So far sales have netted $2200.  I have more that will close and make another $500 or more by the 7th. 

OK, my $10,000 challenge in 90 days is to earn $10,000 with internet marketing other than Ebay.  I have been so busy earning a living I have not had time to pursue the challenge.  I had started a couple things, but when I looked at my checkbook I quickly dropped the IM and concentrated on Ebay.

Where do you find the items? Do you do ebay arbitrage--buy clearance stuff and sell it on ebay?

MY BAD. I am not paying attention to comments in the blog. I need to answer and be courteous.

Some of my items come out of my personal stuff, and my parents estate.

The majority of what I sell is electronic surplus out of large companies. It consists mainly of computers and test equipment. Large companies upgrade equipment on a regular basis. They either sell or give away their excess.
