How To Get $750 For A Five Dollar Item On EBay
Randall Pinson Storyhttp
When Randall Pinson took a full-time job as manager of a cell phone store during college, he expected to earn some extra money for school. He didn't expect to learn how to start an online retail business that would ultimately support him and his family.Pinson, 29, had only vaguely heard of eBay in the spring of 2000, when his boss asked him to try to sell some phones on the website. So he followed the step-by-step instructions on eBay.com and listed a shipment of phones for sale. Less than an hour later, a woman in New York offered to buy 15 of the phones for $125 each, making Pinson's employer $100 in profit on each phone.The 400 percent markup the store earned got Pinson's attention. He started selling cell phones and accessories on eBay himself on a part-time basis, and in 2002, he quit his job at the cell phone store and started his own online business using his last paycheck and a $2,000 American Express line of credit. By his college graduation a few months later, he was earning close to $60,000 a year selling on eBay.Always aiming for a 50 percent markup on his sales, Pinson (eBay User ID: rocket-auctions) occasionally does much better. "My most profitable eBay sale was a piece of telecom equipment I bought for $5 without really knowing what it was. I sold it for $750."Five years after starting, Pinson says confidently, "Anyone can make a living on eBay." His company, Rocket Auctions, based in Farmington, Utah, generated $400,000 in sales in 2005, with 2006 projections of $500,000.To bring in that kind of money, Pinson has one full-time employee who handles the day-to-day logistics of inventory management and shipping the 400 or so items that are sold in completed auctions from the company's warehouse each week.(By the way, if you are into eBay, here is a $49.95 software package that you can get absolutely free. I believe the offer is available to US residents exclusively.)

BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR REBATE CHECK!!!
Retailers from Safeway to RadioShack Corp. are offering special discounts to lure consumers in and persuade them to spend some or all of their economic stimulus checks, the first wave of which were deposited into bank accounts this past week.
Instead of using this money that you did not expect anyway for useless things, invest it. Always think long term; you don't know what the future is about so be very wise with this check.

Become a real estate investor today with a few hundred bucks!!!!
While no one likes paying taxes, for some, the word "tax" is synonymous with "opportunity."
Taxes can sometimes be profitable. Just ask those who own tax credits or participate in tax lien auctions.
In fact, a whole new industry has boomed from people that scour local auctions for real estate sales, caused by delinquent taxes. These forced sales, or tax lien sales, are becoming more and more mainstream and popular with the general public.
What is a Tax Lien?
In most jurisdictions, when a property owner is late on paying real property taxes, the county or municipality will issue a a tax lien on that person's property. Certain states allow the tax lien to become a first lien on the property, which is then turned around and sold at auction as a tax lien certificate.
After placing a successful bid, buyers of a government-issued tax lien certificate will then get one of two things:
1) A state-mandated yield from the lien, which the delinquent taxpayer must pay in order to release the lien, OR
2) Title to the property (after a certain amount of time, set by the jurisdiction) if the delinquent taxpayer fails to pay up.
Individuals have been snapping up tax liens more and more because of these two benefits. A fixed percentage rate, mandated by a government agency, or the title to property at a substantial discount are incredible benefits rarely seen with other real estate transactions.
Risks In Going It Alone
The rewards of tax liens seem promising. Who would balk at the chance to pay a fraction of the cost for a new home, either to collect a fixed penalty from the homeowner or (in case of default) the property itself?
However, what many tax lien buyers find out is that, if they did not do proper title and bankruptcy research, their tax liens can become worthless.
For instance, creditors and the IRS can take priority over tax lien holders in cases where the original owner of the property declares bankruptcy.
In addition, many people purchase properties sight unseen, going just on the description posted prior to auction. Without actual inspections and geographical surveys, sometimes these deeds are worth little more than the paper they're printed on.
Imagine the surprise of a property owner in Texas who, at auction, thought he got a deal on 2 acres of property for $11,000... only to realize the property is completely flooded twice a year.
Yet institutions, like banks and credit unions, have always been able to overcome many of these conditions. Why? Because they had the resources to build relationships with local real estate agents, do the proper title searches and property inspections.
These firms realized the potential in tax liens, provided they could "cover their bases" and ensure each tax lien purchase was a sound one.
Individual tax lien purchasers are often burned without doing full inspections of each property they purchase. At auction, tax liens are usually issued based on lot number. Purchasers have no idea whether they're buying a four-bedroom house or a plot of dirt without inspecting the property. Physical inspections take time, energy and money, and often limits tax lien purchasers to properties within a small area.
Participating in Auctions
So who can participate in these tax lien sales? Anyone who can legally own property in the U.S. can participate in these sales.
Tax lien sales are not for everyone, since purchases must be made in cold, hard cash. As is often the case, the County conducting the tax lien auction will require payment in full in cash within a pre-determied amount of time. Sometimes payment can be made in 48 hours, while others require payment in full on the spot.
Thanks to the popularity of such auction sites as eBay, the realm of tax lien sales has also entered the internet age. Many County officials recognize the greater reach and appeal that these properties can have when published online. Several online auction sites specialize in distressed property sales, eliminating the need to show up on the day of the auction.
Learn More About Tax Liens
When purchasing a tax-distressed property online, be sure to still do your due diligence and homework prior to logging in and placing a bid. Review regional foreclosure lists regularly to find out the types of property currently available. You'd also want to verify the reputation of the authority conducting the auction on behalf of the County.
Good luck

Are we already in recession?
As if we needed any reminder that times in America have changed, there is further evidence that the nearly decade-long rally of prosperity and reduced crime has ended.
We are officially in a recession, experts said last week, after months of speculation and hundreds of thousands of layoffs. At the same time, many big cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Boston and Pittsburgh are reporting an increase in homicides this year, potentially signaling an end to the slide in violent crime.
Here are few tips to survive in recession
1- Always have a budget
2- Buy only what you really need, not what you want.
3-Keep track of all your expenses.
4-Put 10% of your income into your saving no matter what.
5-Stop dinning out; gather your family around a nice home cooked meal.
5-When you live your house be very careful; keep your belongings close to you
JUST BE ALERT ALL THE TIMES AND SAVE THE MAXIMUM YOU CAN!!!!!!!!!!!

The secret to true health and true wealth!!!!
I came across a great company a few months ago and i'm excited to share it with my readers.
I recently joined USANA because, in my search for additional streams of residual income I found a simple formula that combined two essentials in life "HEALTH and WEALTH". I realized there was nothing residual in my current business and, in order for this to change I had to do something different. I knew I wanted to improve other people's lives, but had no idea how to accomplish this. Most people are suffering from either health problems or financial problems. It became obvious to me that Usana is what i was looking for.
Now it's your turn to have true health and financial freedom on top of it. For more informations go to www.yemissi.usana.com. Remember, our actions today create our tomorrows, nothing changes unless we TAKE ACTION!!!
