So my wife was at the local UPS store where she bumped into a guy carrying a roulette wheel.

Since it isn't often that you see people walking around with roulette wheels, she had to ask.

And he told her he bought it at a yard sale the previous weekend - paid $20 after bargaining the seller down from $25.

Then he put it on eBay, and four days later sold it for $2,000!

And that's why he was in the UPS store carrying a roulette wheel - he needed to ship it to his buyer.

Moral: There are still treasures to be found at yard sales and flea markets, and still buyers on eBay willing to pay a good price for those treasures.

You don't have to be a computer expert or even have a web site to do well on the internet.

You just have to find what someone else wants to buy, and put it on eBay.

Oh, and just in case you want to see the roulette wheel, you can view it at eBay Completed Auctions.
