I was selling books and gift items to schools, play groups, nursery’s, nursing homes and offices. It was all going ok, but I had to tie up all my money in stock, and run up a huge bill on my credit card. No stock = No sales = No Income.

 Then my car started breaking down and put a major strain on my finances. Not only in the repair bills, but also in the loss of earnings. Then one cold winters day it coughed, spluttered and died. I was towed by the AA to my local garage where I was told that the car would cost nearly twice its value to repair. I just couldn’t afford to do it. Sure I could’ve bought another old car but with the expenses and experiences of one old jalopy I wasn’t about to do it again.

This left me with a lot of stock that I couldn’t sell as I could no longer complete my rounds. So I turned to eBay and started selling my stock off. Which was slow to start with, but it did start selling once I’d made some adjustments to the prices to allow for the postage costs.

I then started browsing eBay……..

Until next time, Barry Wells
