Do you talk to your relatives about your internet business?

last year during Thanksgiving weekend, my girlfriend shot her mouth off to my relatives about how good eBay has been and how successful I've been making sales on it.
Now they keep pestering me to sell things for them.

I never provide a seller's name.

I am old enough to get away with telling normal people that I retired early in life since I did SO well at my job.
I make money now by trading in the stock market.
That tends to explain my independent lifestyle and my collection of nice cars.

This just made me very jealous of you.

I just say i'm in sales and leave it at that. people are just very nosy so I do not care to explain. They would be like do you make money? DUH if I didn't why would I be doing it....
