I haven't sold much on E-bay, but I'm selling lots of

things on my local Craigslist and you don't have to worry about shipping or paying a commission. I have some things that just aren't selling, but I relist about once a week and out of 5 items maybe 1 will sell. I'm hoping to cut back my hours next month and start listing more things. I have one room full of stuff, probably only 2% of stuff I even want to keep. I figure I can declutter and make some $$ at the same time. I'm no where near making enough to consider quitting, but every little bit I make goes towards debt.

I think MQ will be/or is sold too
 I think it for several reasons
like the person above says......it's an albatross
I never thought MQ/phillips would keep it in the first place - it has outlived it's usefullness which was to get their hands into hospitals on a personal basis - they want to do billing and they want to sell them VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEMS...they don't want to do transcription...no person in their right mind would...it's labor intensive and a pain in the butt.
Frank doesn't know anything about MTing - he knows elevators .....and how to dismantle companies.
So all in all, I'm totally shocked it isn't sold yet.
Plus I see accounts leaving MQ offices and nobody saying anything like - we need more accounts.
They say they want to be "leaders in the MT field" but never come up with a plan.
The only people getting "good benes" are "employees" in the offices, yet are closing down offices. And when they finally do close down completely they will have very few people to pay unemployement to because they have squeezed us all into SE status.
Well, that's my answer.
I think you sold me
I have a gift card for Sephora (from Christmas) and was thinking of trying some. I use prescriptives, which is OK, best I have found so far, but I think I may try the Bare MInerals, especially with summer coming up.
Work is sloooooow today so I think I may just go place my order. Might as well do something fun on my downtime. So far I have mopped the kitchen and vacuumed while waiting for work.  Time to shop!
So what if it is. He said he sold it (sm)
who to trust is a big mystery, he said, she said. She seems to have deceived us all. It doesn't matter to me anymore. Everyone needs to get along and move forward. Things change. Yesterday is old news. Today is a new day, hope everyone enjoys it.
Selling on E-Bay
I have quit doing MT and have been selling some odds and ends (clearing out my closet, etc.) on E-Bay and have done pretty well so far. At least I can realize some extra money which is more than I can say for doing MT lately. It's a good way to get rid of unwanted items and make some dough too, so why not? I have a cousin who is seriously into E-Bay, even going to college full-time, and she makes enough each month to make her car payment.
I think the money to be made is out there, just depends on how MUCH money you really need. I'm retired now so anything I get is a plus to me.
No, would be like selling my kid!
....
How is this selling out?
In any other world, getting a credential is not "selling out."
MT's stubborn refusal to value continuing education and credentialing goes a long way to explain the lack of respect we get in this industry.
The people who hire MTs and MT services are almost always credentialed.
Spain sold to the U.S? ever
Guadalupe Hidalgo and U.S.land grabs?
If your assertions are correct about new immigrants not serving this country in the last 25-30 years why don't you respond to the post above about the disproportionate number of hispanics dying in Iraq?
I've read your posts before and you just don't seem to like anybody who isn't just like you....Hispanics, African-Americans and you tell Native Americans to "get over it"...but I'm the ignorant one,huh? So I doubt it would matter if we all spoke perfect English.
Has anyone ever sold jewelry?
I want to sell a DeBeers' diamond that will get me out of a tight financial bind. However, an ad in the the newspaper made me think of how easy it would be to knock my over and steal my ring. The jewelry stores said that it would sit on their shelf possibly for a few months. My dog is requiring emergency vet care and it is going to total much money. I know the pawn shop is a possibility. Any ideas? I hate this idea because I know I will not get what it is worth but it is the one thing I have that would bring me hard cold cash. Thanks!
Have you sold your soul yet to them? nm
:
you may have been sold that policy
it doesn't mean you could have collected on it.
membership sold
Yes, AAMT does sell membership list with your info -- I asked. Is one of their main sources of revenue. Then I asked to be removed from the list they sell and the calls became less frequent. Then I didn't renew.... ha.
First co went broke, so went to second, which sold
xxxx
I succumbed, then sold it
Been MTing for a very long time. I've learned that every employer has their own idea of what's right and what's wrong. At the same time, even if they demand going by the BOS, their intepretation of the BOS is what's right and what's wrong. Not everyone, even within one company, agrees about how things are done. Period. So, I got some money out of the book (after never opening it, even once), and I listen to the dictates of the boss, because that's what's "right". It changes with each job. I learn during the probation period what all those things are. Don't need it after that.
It will be interesting to see what happens. Maybe it will get sold

Selling business
This may not be what you want to hear but basically you are selling your client's name and hopefully they will use the new person. I went through a divorce and because my husband felt that I had a "business" (I have 5 accounts) he wanted a portion of what it was worth. I had to have someone come in and do an audit, talk to my accounts and give a net worth which he said was basically what I could sell my computer and things I use in my business and my business name which was not worth that much. My clients said that there was a 50/50 chance that the would go with someone that bought my business and one account said that they would go out and find someone on their own. With only one small client you might find someone that would pay you a percentage per month for a while but that would also be hard. What if who bought the business was not any good and the client quit them after a month, would they still owe you a couple of thousand dollars. Your best bet might be to find someone to subcontract for you and you keep on with 20 to 30% until you know that they are good and then ask for a month's income and give it to them. Look at what your business brings in a month and you might get 50% of that. I would not "buy" a client because they might not stay with me. Unless a contract is signed all the way around and then there is always a loop hole for them to get through if they don't like you. I have gotten two accounts over the past 20 years from gals that were moving or quitting and never paid for either one. One has stayed with me for now 7 years and the other one quit after one month as someone in-house wanted to do it at night. But that is my little knowledge. If you had an actual business, office space, computers, etc. then that is a different story but it doesn't sound like you do. A beautician does not sell her client list.
selling house
You need to document all of this and write her a registered letter recepit requested ahd outline all of this and inform her that you are going to send a copy to the Stare Board of Real Estate licensing and do a formal complaint unless either release you from your contract with no fee or to start doing her job. Whichever you prefer. If she is with a large company, I would also cc a copy to the broker/owner of the company. You do not need to take this nor pay for cancelling her contract if she is not doing your job and that should be stated somewhere in the contract. Also the state will investigate this and it will be a mark on her name. You can always call the state board and see if there are any complaints against your realtor. But you don't have to take this kind of service. But forewarn her of what you will be doing. And like I said if she is working for a large company like Century 21 inform the broker -- call her office and ask who is the manger/broker and talk or just send them a copy of your letter. They do not want any investigations believe me as it ties them up too much.

Selling the BOS to MTs in other countries?
Does the AAMT really sell the BOS to MTs in India and Pakistan? Can MTs there belong to the AAMT?
Selling jewelry sm
I have some to sell as well and was wondering about E-Bay. Do you know if you have to pay taxes, file forms, etc., if anyone does buy anything from you on there? Does anyone else have ideas that do not involve getting a business license? I think a tag sale would bring people around who would only want a quarter. I could use some extra cash and the things I have are nice and never worn, not a jewelry person but have made some from fine gems. Been thinking of where to go with it.
How about selling Avon?

selling home
Has anyone sold their home without a realtor or with one of those FSBO companies? If so, I'm just wondering if it was easy or a hassle. I'm getting ready to put my house on the market but hate the thought of paying a huge commission to a realtor. Any input is greatly appreciated !
selling house
Yes, this was something I was looking into also - around my area it's Assis2Sell and they charge a flat rate, no matter what your house sells for. Thanks to all of you who replied with some input on this. 
selling home
I just saw a segment last week on the Today Show about selling a house and because the market is soft now they advise if you do not have to sell your house right now anywhere in the US, not to, take it off the market and wait until the spring of next year. I know homes in our neighborhood where they are usually bought within a matter of weeks have been on the market for 3-4 months now even with a reduction in the price. They said on the Today Show this is a good time to buy a house, but not sell it, because buyer's are taking a lot longer to choose a home and not acting quickly on buying the first house they love when they see one. Just telling everyone what I saw.
selling home
Unfortunately I don't have a choice about when to sell as this is due to divorce. :(
selling home
When I checked their websites (Assist2Sell, etc.) it seems they offer different packages, some of which include "full service" so now I'm getting a little confused. Aren't these flat rate places still realtors?
selling snake oil?
So for the second time this year, "At Home Professions" has come calling to town to give their big seminar. The flood of calls to my house start coming in from people I barely know or hardly know about all the fame and fortune of being an MT. They are telling people they could start at 15 cpl and make 50K per year. Are they even a real school? I want that job!
Nevertheless, I get the calls about how wonderful and terrific working at home is (not that it isn't, but it is hard work!), how "I listened to what they had to say and I can do that" (like it is no big deal), and basically how "easy" it is. Sigh.... I feel like I am explaining the science of building a rocket to my 5 year old who just wants to jump in and take a ride!
Selling plasma sm
Has anyone tried this as a way of making extra money?
I really need to find an additional source of income and the local plasma center is paying out about $200 a month for plasma. Can't work a second job outside the home because of mom with Alzheimer and 2 teenage boys that would likely kill each other before I could get home. 
My neighbor across the street did that...sold
I was dying to ask her how much she got for her house but didn't want to be too nosy, so I didn't. She was pregnant with twins and near the end of her pregnancy and not able to work full time anymore, and her husband had lost a good job and was working at a lower paying job to just try to get by, and the house only had 2 bedrooms and they already had a son and were having twin girls, and she didn't say but I think they were having trouble paying their mortgage.
Anyway, although I don't know if they got a fair price for their house I know the whole transaction was very fast and easy. She told me that THEY were allowed to set the date that the house changed hands; it was totally up to them. The whole thing was done in a just a couple of weeks, because they wanted to move and get settled into a place (they rented a duplex) with more bedrooms before the twins were born.
She told me that part of the reason they sold it like that was that the house needed some work done to it before they tried to sell it, and they just didn't have the time or the money to do it.
But, I have to say the company that bought it didn't do anything either. She told me they told her they were going to go in and do work to it and then rent or sell it. Well they didn't do a thing that I saw - no one was ever there working on it. They put a sign in the yard that it was for sale or rent and within a couple of weeks someone bought it.
Sold your info to who and put it on internet why?
Most of your info is public domain anyway.
This is the only way my husband and I have sold our homes. sm
And it was very easy despite what naysayers may thik or say. My husband is very knowledgable with real estate law, so that helps us a great deal. He has all the forms you need on our computer, etc. He can communicate well with others, etc. He asks for earnest money and he does ask if they have already been pre-approved or if their house if for sale, etc.
Since I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, I can go anytime and show any one of our homes for sale.
You can definitely do it yourself. Don't be afraid and don't let others intimidate you. My parents "lost" 30,000 in real estate fees in Alaska. Basically, they went to an agent who put their house up for sale. The agent never showed up to the open house, my mom had about 15 people come and look that afternoon and she had no idea what to do. One of the guys who attended was an officer in the military who wanted a contract signed THAT DAY. My parents state that the only good thing her real estate guy did was provide an office for the paperwork to be signed. There was a high demand in her neighborhood at the time (about 3 years ago).
I've sold my eggs...
well, my chicken's eggs really. Although now that I rethink that, perhaps selling various pieces parts would pay a few more bills....hmmm....
Seasonal things make good spare cash too like an honor-system veggie table parked at the end of the driveway and homemade wreaths and x-mas centerpieces made from local greenery.
Oh the possibilities are endless if you posess a certain moral flexibility! I've been thinking of rigging up a pay-per-view "boobie cam" pointed my way to make some extra cash while I type away. "PayPal Accepted!"
Yes, but that's been for a while now. AAMT sold us up the river.
I knew they sold us up the river, but
I didn't think (well hoped) they didn't have the you know what to totall and completely sell us out by letting them test before the US MTs were even eligible. That is just WRONG!
I sold out once to a company that offshored
Still dealing with the ID theft issues. They repeatedly broke into my computer. This was a US company that used offshore MTs, and I am telling you what, it has been a nightmare. I will never work with anyone who will consider offshoring nor will I ever let anyone install a platform on my computer system again. Tsk, Tsk? Say that when you spend a few days on the phone with all of your financial institutions and 6 months later having to scan every piece of info on your credit report. Not every one is shady but think about what you open yourself up to.
No, taken back by THE owner, then sold.
Built by the guy in Pakistan and run in Sherri's name. IMO the only reason she doesn't have her site up is that SHE doesn't know how. She sat back and had this guy do the work (offshoring) and collected money. Now she's scrambling to find someone to build her site over there.
The adaptor is sold on ebay and
through their website at www.tvps.com. Cost around $22 shipped from ebay. It works good, but the prongs are a slightly loose fit in the plug; I'm not sure if that's a problem with the adaptor or the plug itself. Nonetheless, I'm able to use my better quality headphones. I believe the company that sells these also offers a 60 day warranty on the item when it's purchased. :)
So you sold your soul for a severance wad?
Re: the letter - the paper wants to know if what you've written them is on the up and up. A reputable rag checks it sources for accuracy and truth. If they print the story, you can ask not to have your name or company printed (though I doubt they'd do it anyway) but unless they have real facts, real names, and real experiences, they're not necessarily going to believe that what you tell them is true. There is always SOME risk when you want to make changes, but in this case I think it's almost nil. Still, refusing to accept the risks associated with change often means a person is willing to SETTLE for the status-quo.
the other poster is correct you sold sm
your sold for a wad! Sounds like you are trying to live on both sides of the fence! you have no credibility here and probably will never have any credibility with MTs again. Take your gripe elsewhere!
I know! I'm trying, trouble selling mine!
I'm doing everything I can to get out! It's awful...3 years ago nicest, quietest neighborhood you could ever want.. Now, AWFUL. Homes unrecognizable in some areas.. homes that were nice! It's sad.
Trailers selling for $1M+ in Malibu now. You go, G/F. -sm
Yep, there was an article on Yahoo yesterday about trailers in Malibu for over $1M. In a place called Dume Park - not "doom" but "do-may".
I lived in a trailer at one time. Now I live in a house I paid cash for at the city tax auction. It is sweet not to have to pay rent or mortgage.
They started selling it, sorry to hear you
are losing money, but glad to FINALLY have an outside source reaffirm what I have been saying for two years, Docuscribe cheats us out of lines. That is one bad thing about computers/technology, no proof except the sweat of our brows (or fingers as the case may be) and they can say "It's just you", as they have been doing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Selling business deleted?
May I ask why the selling business messages were all deleted? Was something said that should not have been? Just curious so that if I said something I do not do it again.
Selling body parts in the US sm
There was a brief mention of a recent arrest (I believe it was in New York) of a phony business set-up involving funeral homes, etc., selling bone grafts, etc. from dead bodies (one was supposedly Allistair Cook's body of the PBS fame) and replacing these parts with PVC piping in some cases. These people made "millions" and the patients/families had to be notified. One man was practically crying because he had been told he has to be tested every 6 mos. for HIV, hepatitis, etc., since he had a recent surgery on his neck. They said it may not present itself for years in some cases. They showed some gentlemen being led away in handcuffs but the story was cut short. Anyone else know about this travesty and why so little else has been said about it or is there any web site, etc., that explains it in more detail? Would like to know morel I am very concerned for the recipients as well as the unbeknownst-to-them "donor" families.
selling real property
I, too, am a real estate broker and agree with you 100%. Selling real property is not like selling an automobile or a piece of furniture. There's a lot of legalities when selling real property.
India's selling itself short, too. nm

Question about selling used Stedman's
I was hoping someone here could help me out. I was thinking about selling 2 of my electronic word books since I don't use them any more and was wondering if I have to call them about the whole licensing thing and get that taken care of...or can I just sell them right out?
Thanks!
I have one (USB) I am selling for $85 (this includes shipping)
when I bought it I was told to get USB. I don't even know if it comes in PS/2 or not. It does not matter what your keyboard it as far as I know. My keyboard is a wireless with an transmitter plugged in at the PS/2 port. Ask the MTSO which you should buy and you should have your answer if you are worried. But if you want mine I take PayPal and M.O. --- it is basically brand new, used for about 2 hours, have original box too. But is is a IN-PI-USB. See my note on the Classified's page.
