Ebay -- discuss

Quote: AZDuffman

I had no digital camera, which was the big thing needed to sell,

I had to buy one in 97 and
it was like $700, a huge
expense. I used them so
often they eventually broke.
I went thru 4 of them and
bought the last one in 2004.

A Fuji 6mb, $400. I still have
it and it works fine after at
least 10K pics with it. I look
at Walmart at 12mb cameras
for $100, I can't imagine what
you need that much camera for.

This cost is probably what most of all let that "eBay Store" concept last the few years that it did. The pics were always the big thing. Had to wait for tech to catch up.

I was making so much in a week
selling guns and military that the
$700 was made back immediately.
Sometimes I had $10K on me, in
my pocket, when I went to shows.
I look back on those days kind of
in disbelief at how lazy and ignorant
the dealers at the shows were.
They had to be dragged kicking and
and screaming into the computer
age. And by that time Ebay had banned
all guns, lol.
