Our van, which had a transmission put in about 2 years ago, has another transmission problem. The transmission solenoid is bad, and needs to be replaced or it will quit. This will cost us about $500. This was money set aside for Christmas, but now we need to use it on the van. The transmission had a warranty, but it was for 3 years/36,000 miles, and our van has gone 48,000 miles in just 2 years, so we have to pay for it.

So, I need ideas to make quick money. I will be listing on eBay (have been doing that a bunch--user name sandk95), selling lots of stuff on here, selling stockpiles, doing a pantry strike so we don't have to spend much on groceries. Luckily, I just went to the grocery store the day before this happened, so we are pretty well stocked on most things. We will need perishables, of course, and maybe some meat, but most sides and things are well taken care of.

I don't know how much to ask for some stuff--I have loads of Venus razors from when they were free, but how much do I ask & how many to box up at a time? Do most people prefer to bid or just pay a set price for a box? Opinions and suggestions are welcome!


Thanks!
Shelia

I know you mentioned your ebay user name, but it's a lot easier just to click on your link when you have stuff up for bids :)

Checkout my articles, I earn Paypal by writing content for this site... over $400 since 4/23. If I can do it, you can too. Ask me how.

* NB: This is income and should be reported as such to the IRS. If you get close to earning $600 in a year, they will contact you to obtain tax information so that they can accurately and legally report your income to the IRS. It is just like any other job; the tax man wants his share ;)
