Come on now, fess up. You're addicted to selling, aren't you? First it was bidding and now you just can't stop selling. You know you're not getting rich doing this, well, except for those few who like to tempt the I.R.S. Gods.

I am addicted to the thrill of the hunt. I want it all but after I get it I don't want it so much anymore and I want something else.

So I usually try to sell it and most times I make a good profit. And no, I am not getting rich by doing it this way. But yes, it is fun!

Definitely trying to sell for profit! And also for all the nice friends I've made buying and selling on Ebay.

Okay, I admit....I dont NEED the money, as I have a full time, good paying job. I am an addict, along with being an obsessive-compulsive person. It's the thrill of watching the bidding wars, the thrill of wanting it, getting it, then no longer wanting it, so selling it also! It's the thrill of the hunt. Finding it! I am also doing it in an effort to find "something" to occupy my time when I retire, and make extra money at the same time! I will never get rich from this, cant find enough good stuff! I keep telling everyone someday I will stumble across that rare find.....(ya think?) I could go on and on but wont............

Yup, it certainly is a RUSH to sell and sell successfully! There's relentless competition and it's getting worse so success is sweeter now. The selling venue doesn't really matter. However, selling on some of the more obscure venues increases the high cause it's like you're doing the impossible!

I started selling for profit, but I'm not doing so well yet. I sure do get a thrill/high out of seeing the bids on my items though!

Profit definitely, and am certainly making money, I must be one of those few. Buy low sell high.

Selling for Profit And doing a good job of it. Why waste your time on eBay if you can't make a good profit.
