Cause of death Helicopter crash at Talladega Superspeedway | So I was right on with the year. Seems like yesterday because he did not need to be flying a helicopter into the race track.
Sad. I believe he was the up and coming driver if I remember correctly.
I remember Alan Kuwicki? and another good driver who was new also died in a crash during a race.
What young driver died 2-3 years ago that was always talked about being the new Jeff Gordon?

There are over 1000 venders and each one is giving away a free promotional item. Key rings , flash lights, trailer hitch covers and tons of other stuff with the companies name on it. If the company has something cool, I go back by their booth a few times. These items are usually only available at the trade show. There are trade shows for just about everything that probably offer similar products.

Yard sales are another great way to find cheap items to re sell for feedback.
I many times buy 0.10-0.25 that are worth 3-5 each to help get an account going.
Also, if you attend any antique auctions like I do several times a week you can buy box lots filled with goodies for 2.50-10.00 range.

There is a huge auction center around the Detroit area you could attend and walk out with a van load for 500.00 or less.

I have started selling the type of pens you'd expect to buy in a newsagent at $5-6 dollars. The nice roller ball, gel tip pens.
I sell them for $1-2 including free shipping, Generally I incur a loss of 0.40-$1 depending on the model, fvf etc. But I am trying to build a buffer against increasing amount of idiots on ebay who leave negative at will.
I use to sell the little tennis string vibration dampers which worked for a while before the market was too saturated. I think there are plenty of cheap things to sell, but most you will incur some sort of small loss which I think is worth it in most cases.

If you are going to sell low priced items with free shipping to get feedback then I would make them related to what else you sell.
I sell vintage stuff so good low priced items (for me) would be old photos, postcards, sports or trade cards, printed ephemera, etc.

I personally like going to Ross or Goodwill, found an Ab Lounge for $5 one time and made out good! you can run across some good potential profit makers if you dont want to lose money in the process of creating positive feedback!

There are always bits and pieces around the house you can sell.
If you collect anything you can sell the ones you want to get rid of.
When I wanted feedback in the past I sold old photos, postcards and bits of printed ephemera that were surplus to my collecting needs. I also have a big box full of broken junky jewellery, buttons, and stuff like that. Ive also sold fabric swatches (for crafters) and tissue.

The Goodwill clerks at the local store have an ongoing thing when I walk in.
They smirk, laugh, giggle and one said OMG.
So I asked, what is it with you girls when I walk in and you are all having so much fun?
She said, you are the only customer who comes in and cleans off an entire shelf of items we had just put on the end cap as new items today.
Instant feedback and profits combined.

Do you not know that iphone/ cable listings flag accounts?
That item is regarded as VeRo.
A new account has a high chance of getting the listings pulled.
Stop making the errors with the advice. |

Stop making the errors with the advice. | I think a.v. limited is a computer , has this member responded directly to anyone, and the responses are just so off like if u would ask SIRI a question the answer would have something from the question but just way off and just all the responses to 1 to 3 month old posts like they just asked a question
So confused

Mechanical pencils and pens are pretty popular. Used to get them wholesale and sell them for a buck each, plus shipping.
