<p>[QUOTE="abuckmaster147, post: 1617798, member: 27527"]I was a stay at home dad for 18+ years, It sure did help with baby sitting we also had a sit down meal every night with or without MOM to discuss the day they had at school and such. I will tell ya what we raised 2 great kids and that had a lot to do with it, so once the kids got to be in there older teens I opened a web site through Godaddy and sold on eBay and ecrater for about 5 or 6 years until I feel into a deep depression and got burnt out trying to ship everything in one day. then I marked a package fragile Glass Like I always had and a few US mail people decided to play foot ball or something as a joke with my package. I quickly reimbursed the buyer for all damages, And even though I had INS I never used it and shut down everything. I sure do miss the extra money, I was able to buy man toys and tools with the extra, But at that point I took mostly post office money orders and some paypal and it only cost me 10% or less to sell, I do not think I could deal with 15% and make money with all the competition there is out there even though I had a superior product and Name. I was known in about every state and country as the best!!! The funny thing is once I shut down I only rec maybe 2 or 3 emails in the last 3 or 4 years, It seems once I was not there people did not care to contact me they just went to someone else . that was good for me I guess. Then trying to do a 1040 long form and keeping all gas receipts and shipping costs , Parts and pieces and everything was a pain also. I sure do miss the extra money but not the hassle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
