4. When you don’t feel like getting an early start - get in the car and get an early start

5. Go to every garage sale that opened that day

    Gary,

    You know, it really is as simple as that… REALLY!!

    Oh I have one last thing to ask.

    I know we’re not to include items purchased before May 1st, but I attended an auction last night (4/29) and will be attending another tonight (4/30), would it be OK if I included those purchases in my 2008 eBay Challenge weekly auction totals, seeing how the auctions won’t start until after May 1st?? Thanks in advance!

    Good Luck Everybody!!

    Stephen,

    I’m afraid I’d have to say no. I’ve had a lot of people write me asking if they could use inventory purchased anywhere from a week ago up to a year ago. I’ve told everyone no. I realize there’s only a day or two difference, but from the number of questions about this I received, I’m pretty sure is I say yes to two days, I’m going to get more questions about a week or two. If I say yes to two weeks, the questions will come in about one or two months.

    That means I have to arbitrarily cut it off somewhere, making some people unhappy because they weren’t included while other’s were.

    Sorry,

    Gary
