I ran this full time resale business selling collectibles on line and built up a huge inventory of retail items and toys. I ran this business full time for a while because it was going so well and also helped one of my friends get their estate sale business going. after that I sold this business to another reseller who was opening a toy store and used the money to update and renovate our house! Then I started the welding job I am at now and still sell on Ebay on the side.
