Man, what a great week...
I quit selling on eBay last weekend, and I cant begin to tell you all how good I feel.
I went back to working "hands-on" full time at my computer store (much to the dismay of my employees) and things are jumpin!
Got a major contract with an overseas distributor.
I love it! I can't beleive how good it feels to have broken the chains that lashed me to this damn computer for the last almost 5 years.
I have plans to re-open my Cyber Cafe' that burned down while I was in Europe last summer, and I am very close to coming to fruitation of another major parnership in another venture.
It's been real, and it's been fun, but it aint been real fun...
Good luck to all you sellers out there, and I wish you all the best, but it's time for me go home. The fad is over.
Peace people...

Forgot to mention...
There is big giant yellow ball in the sky outside...
I'm not sure, but I think they call it the "sun".
Whatever it is, it sure feels good to feel it on my face again!
You all should give it a try 
Later.

Best of luck & enjoy.
For me the fad is still very much alive. Full-time now over 3 years & loving it.
I get out most days, and if there was sun in rainy Vancouver this week, I would enjoy it.
Have lots of free time, my companionable dogs to keep me company, and sales continue to be strong every week on my items, I almost never have down times, and meet my goals every month on income.
And I love working for myself with only a 15 foot commute to work!
Not for everyone, hopefully you have now found what is right for you.

Hiya Pocono. I agree with you about getting away from the computer for a while and enjoying real life. I find this machine can be very addictive and I have to force myself to leave it alone for periods of time so I can get other things done. LOL
The best of luck to you. Please do stop in periodically to keep us posted.

Indeed best wishes! Am about 1/3 time on this but it's as intense as full-time when I do it (as I work it around travels). So I'm now getting a taste of how much time it can burn. Going full-time could be rough.
