What defines doing it right? Clearly more do it wrong than right so what makes - or what method is right as opposed to being wrong?

Australia. I have no idea what the population here is, I would guestimate around 50,000 - 100,000 people. Demographics? Not a clue.

The area I live in is one you classify as not overly technology literate. There isn't a huge take up of Internet for example, and like I said beofre if it's not a home based business she wont be able to do it.

I have no idea what her hobbies are. I honestly don't think she has any. I mean she loves the Internet, she loves researching for things on the Internet but as for actual hobbies - she doesn't have any. She wants to learn how to draw and paint etc but she doesn't do them so they don't count as hobbies. She worked for over 30 year in a laboratory for a large drug company.

I agree, the issue that I'm having is find the sources. Where do people get the items at a low enough cost to then sell on eBay at a profit?

However, before I can give you any feasible suggestions, I would need to know about your and your mom's background and skills. |
If I missed anything let me know.
Your help is appreciated. Truely

BTW if you can find this book in your local bookstore then do read - How I Raised Myself From Failure to Success in Selling by Frank Bettger. It's pretty slim and low cost. |
I'll have a look for it. Thank you
