    HA HA Me too!
    I did Kleeneze for a while until I took a cheque from a house and it bounced...of course I went back and the house was empty :rolleyes:
    I managed to sell the stuff I was left with but on the market for way lesss than it cost me.

    I did Avon twice and even though I did make quite a bit of money, I always spent twice as much myself anyway - I couldn't help it as I just love Avon products :D:p

    It was a lot easier back then too as I had the Pram to carry the brochures and products on...now I would never be able to carry them

    If a cheque bounces on you a) you can call the police in. It's a crminal offence to write a cheque when there aren't funds to cover it, fraudulently obtaining goods etc. b) You should ALWAYS get their bank card details and not rely on trust etc. c) You could have sent the stuff back to Kleeneze and got full credit for it! Just a thought..................;)

  • :D Hi.I sell electronics from a company who has very good prices and very competitive in EBay.For example,I buy a LCD Tv Alba or Bush with 160 GBP and I resell it in Ebay with 210 GBP.It's very profitable and I can pay my bills and everything with this job.
    All the best!

    Have you thought of selling on Ebay?
    I started doing this as a hobby about 5 years ago and it is now my business running an Ebay shop.

    The shop generally runs itself and I just pack up the orders.... But it's ideal for me as a single Dad, so I can still spend a lot of time with my girls who live with me full time.

    You can basically put in as much time as you want.... Start by selling a few items you want to get rid of and then use the profits you make to purchase something else to sell. There are loads of wholesale websites, etc around if you do a bit of searching on the net.

    Hi. A lot of people are now going into research, especially with the amount of info out on the net. Of course, you'd need to be good at searching, collating information and also separating the good from the rubbish, but a lot of people would pay well for someone to do the legwork for them, just getting all the information on a topic for them to then do with it what they will. Maybe advertise it in the local papers.

    An example: "X's wife suffers from X condition. They've heard of an operation that could make life better, but info is not readily available. They'll pay you say £25 or something and you trawl the net finding info for them."

    The advantage of this is that you can search forums, blogs, etc. It's truly difficult to search in just the right way to get right to the heart of the issue at hand - how many times have you gone to Google, typed in something and just get page after page of shops selling stuff, with precious little actual factual info?

    Just a thought.
