Hello folks.

I am an IT executive with a long time interest in auctions. About 10 years ago I tried the eBay thing and I did it all wrong. I bought a 10k truck load of returned sears merch. It was almost all garbage.

I learned a ton from doing this.

Now watching shows like Auction Hunters I have a renewed interest; question being is this a good enough reason to try and make a business of it?  Probably not honestly but I would like to try it as a hobby or side business to start.

So is bidding on Auction stuff worth while? How much money does someone need to start with in order to give it a real try?  What about selling your 'stuff'? Where do you start?

Reading this as I post I am thinking of how I might reply if I were on the INSIDE reading this OUTSIDE guys post... and the reply would be don't even start.

So does anyone have some valid input for a NEWB?

Jeff
