If you’ve purchased one of Amazon’s new Kindle e-Book readers, you’re probably looking in places other than just Amazon for e-Books for your new device. Or maybe you’ve got a nifty new PDA or smart phone for Christmas this year, and you’ll need some place to stock up on reading material. You could go scour…
Into the Wild
I’ve always thought of exotic vacations as something reserved for really rich business men. Especially something as cool as a safari. Besides being named after an awesome web browser on the Mac, safaris just have the added cool factor of being all about hunting. But not for bears, or deer, or quail. Can you imagine…
A Website for Your Business
There are some businesses where all you need is a bill-board style website. It’s just a place for you to put up a sign that says “Hey! I’m a business. I have real-world brick-and-mortar shop that you should visit. Here’s my contact information.” If you want any sort of customer interactivity or online ordering, you’re…
Teach An Old Router New Tricks
One of the coolest things I’ve seen in computer equipment is the re-purposing or re-using of old network equipment. What used to be a corporation’s prized technology often gets thrown out like yesterday’s garbage in order for them to replace it with newer, more expensive equipment to impress customers. This is entirely to your advantage.…
Drive Brighter: HID (Xenon) Headlights
When I bought my Acura last year about this time, one of the first things I noticed when I drove it is that the headlights were particularly bright. Most of the time, you’ll notice headlights are incandescent bulbs that give off a yellowish hue. These lights are pretty bright, but compared to the bright white…
Retailing on eBay: Become an eBay Store Owner
The other day I was on eBay checking the auction for the Nintendo Wii I listed. It was up to $202.50 with six bids (three bidders) and only two days left! Normally all the bidding takes place at the end, so I intend to make a lot more than that on it. It occurred to…
In Search of Sanity
Seriously folks, I can’t wait until the 21st of December. That is the very last day of work before a week-long paid vacation for Christmas. I’m going to go home and see my mom and dad and sister, relax, enjoy not doing anything (except maybe taking care of my mom) and sit on my butt.…
Hidden Treasure: ABT is a new ‘Electronics Mecca’
I was pleasantly surprised to load up ABT’s website in my browser and immediately notice the “fresh and clean” feeling of a well-designed web page. You can tell it was not thrown together in haste, and is professional to a tee. The claim to being the new “Electronics Mecca” is most definitely not an understatement.…
Retailing on eBay: Dealing with PayPal
Believe it or not, there are a few different ways to deal with receiving payment for the goods you are going to be selling on eBay soon. It is believed throughout most of the eBay kingdom that PayPal is the crown prince of payment systems. But I have it on good authority that there are…
Retailing on eBay: Don’t Buy ANYTHING
So, I’m finally just going to let the secret out. Every other website I go to looking for this information is charging exorbitant amounts of money or monthly memberships to get access to this kind of information. Here’s how I got started retailing merchandise I got at wholesale prices, on eBay for MSRP, and pocketing…
