LOL, who said you had to make a living off auctions in order to sell stuff.
Who said you had to be a "smart business person" to sell in an auction.
I've sold, or tried to sell on both ebay and yahoo (years ago). Never got
anything to sell on yahoo! Never tried to pass myself off as a smart
business person either, even though I have two business degrees.
I have no dought most sellers sell here and there for fast cash. Why then
should they list on a site that may be free only to have it take 6 months to
sell thier item(s)?
