   Yeah, I am thinking of renting server space and buying shopping cart   
   software and starting my own store.  I don't know.  The problem with   
   Ebay is if your items don't sell, you're having to not only keep   
   spending money to relist but also all that work over and over.  If you   
   have a store, you can keep on forever, selling little bits off at a   
   time.  I have probably a couple hundred items I'd like to start with!   
   Just yesterday I took a shelf down that had about 20 pieces of Avon   
   and home interiors porcelain figurines.  At the time, some were   
   heftily priced.  Sad part is you see them now on Ebay for like 99   
   cents!  One I remember paying 35-45 bucks for  way back!  They touted   
   them as "collectible" and they're still very pretty and well done   
   (quality) but sell for 2.99-4.99!  LOL  I might just end up giving it   
   up.... having a garage sale. I don't know!   
      
   All this wanting to not buy anymore stuff and clean out because I got   
   a tankless water heater and reclaimed some space in my house.  geesh
