This past month I have been teaching my children how to purchase things used at garage sales, thrift stores, etc. and selling them for a profit on ebay.  This is definitely an endeavor that requires some study and skill.  However, we haven't gotten off to a bad start.  We have managed to find some very desireable products that we sold for dollars on the pennies. 

You can get rich selling on ebay, but that is not the goal.  I truly desire my daughters to be "Keepers At Home".  If I can give them even one venue which allows them to earn a little extra income from home, then I know that I have fulfilled what God has put on my heart to teach my daughters. 

Life is not about how much money you can make, but rather how you live your life.  Living your life is about investing your time.  The bible says children are a blessing from the Lord, and I pray that my daughters will raise their children (invest their time) as I have done and when (financially) things get rough, they will not turn to the work place, but to the Lord's leading and to their own skills. 

Ebay is just one area that can help make ends meet in a big hurry.  An item listed today can give you cash to spend in less than two weeks.  You can start with things just laying around your own house (or in storage that you'd never miss).  Then you venture out to find freebies and bargains galore.  It does help to do some homework in advance to find out what is selling on ebay.  However, we have more than made up in profits what we have lost in bad buys. 

I will post some of our results from this past month as we finish this weeks' sales.
