The Auction Rebel’s 2008 Garage Sale Challenge

Gary Hendrickson at The Auction Rebel is running the "Garage Sale Challenge" again this year. If you haven't read Gary's blog you are missing a real treat. Gary is an inspiration to people who frequent garage sales and thrift stores. He got me going and now I can't stop. I've also made some very good money by following his advice.

He sells on Amazon and eBay which I believe is a very smart way to do business. His blog is not a ranting negative site about eBay, but positive and practical.

Last year, he did the "$10,000 Garage Sale Challenge" where he took a small amount of money and tried to turn it into $10,000 profit by the end of a set time period. He showed all his expenses and accounting during the challenge. His stated goal was to show that anyone can start an eBay business with little money, and some hard work, in a short period of time. He sure proved it to me.

This year, readers are invited to participate. There are rules to this challenge which you can find on his site. But what a great summer project.
I just hope no one in my area reads about it...I have enough competition at garage sales already.
