I think the ad-hoc selling on the internet thing is kinda done, outside maybe craigslist-like things. But selling obscure things often requires a bigger than local market, where you need the full US or similar size to get a sale at a price that is worth the trouble. If there is at least $10 or $20 profit I could entice a kid to do the legwork. Have a job, so mostly doing it to save things from ending up in landfills.

I've had ebay and amazon accounts for 20+ years. Was happy with selling used books on amazon for example, but for several years can't sell any longer until they can pierce the rest of my privacy. Sucks because I had a highly rated history.

Maybe I should log in to ebay again and see if it is still possible to sell there, but this message fills me with zero confidence.
