Spring Cleaning Tip: Extra Household Items May Be Worth More Than Atlanta Residents Think
(ContentDesk) June 3, 2005 -- Unused items stashed away in the closets and drawers of Atlanta residents are likely to be worth considerably more than most owners estimate. Extra household goods such as sporting goods, unused computers and personal electronics can be sold for hundreds of dollars online, including eBay, The World's Online Marketplace?.
Making this process even easier is Kriss Johnson, a Snellville based eBay Trading Assistant, who can manage the process of selling on eBay for local residents.
eBay Trading Assistants are registered members on eBay who have demonstrated the ability and expertise to sell items on eBay.According to a 2004 A.C. Nielsen survey commissioned by eBay, the typical American household has about 25 unused, high-value items lying around.
These items include sporting goods, electronics, photography equipment, auto parts, computers and hardware, accessories, jewelry, and home improvement products.
According to this study, U.S. households like those in Snellville, discard three items a year on average, virtually all of them in working order.
The items most often thrown out by the households surveyed were handbags, cell phones, televisions, and desktop computers."After taking inventory of extra or unused household items, residents can list the items they intend to discard on eBay where they often find a high demand among collectors, businesses, and individuals looking for products to use, repair or acquire for spare parts," said Johnson
To list and sell an item on eBay, residents or businesses only need to contact Johnson at 678-438-5906 or via email at e-mail protected from spam bots
and she will do the work.
As a Trading Assistant, Johnson will pick up the product from the resident's location, photograph it, create the eBay listing to sell the item, contact the highest bidder, package and ship the item, collect the payment and send the money to the item's owner, less any fees charged by the Trading Assistant."When they prepare for spring cleaning, people in Atlanta should realize they are likely to be able to sell these unwanted items on eBay for considerably more than they would receive from a garage sale or donations," said Johnson
eBay Trading Assistants are independent sellers, not employees or contractors of eBay Inc..
In Business, Image Isn't Everything; It's The Only Thing!
We have all heard this lament, but how much do we practice it. With all the relaxed rules today, do we really present ourselves in the best light. It seems all the articles I see today are about how old fashioned today's workers find their supervisors or bosses to be in the way they dress, the policies they implement and the old fashioned ways in which they conduct their business.I am of the belief, and will continue to believe, that the first impression I make is the lasting one. Whether it is by phone or in person, I want to present myself in the best possible light. But then again, I am from the old school, the one today's workers are complaining about.Let's look at the companies that are still standing.
After all the hoopla has passed, the companies that have used the fundamental principles of Business 101 are the ones still among us. The Intels, IBMs, Burger Kings, AT&Ts, Sears, Microsofts, Dells, Gateways, etc. I am not advocating living in the dark ages. I believe for a...

Generators
Generators are used for the generation of electric power. There are basically two types of generators: standby generators and portable generators. Generators ensure that most of the essential appliances can be run whenever there is a power outage. Standby generators provide backup power in homes and offices and are permanently installed outside the house or office building. They are plugged into the electric circuits or home wiring.
Standby generators can automatically detect disruption in the usual electric supply and begin supplying power within a few seconds. Portable generators are usually used in places where there is no supply of power or the need for power is less such as on construction sites camps. These generators are sufficient for lighting and to run appliances like televisions, refrigerators, sump pumps and furnaces.
Generators are available in varying size and output power. The choice of buying the right type of generator depends upon a number of factors...

The more I thought about it the more I became convinced that the reason was because...
