Question
Hi,

What is your take on these packaged marketing products being sold on ebay?  Do people really make thousands of dollars a month buying and selling on ebay?


Answer
This is one of those questions that always makes one pause.  Gee, can it really be that easy?  Buy this marketing package and I could retire in no time. But how to tell if it's real?  

Ask yourself this question.  "If there really IS a way to make thousands of dollars every month, and YOU were doing it, would you really want to sell the idea to everyone and give yourself that much competition in the marketplace?"  No? I thought so.

So, what it comes down to is that someone is making money all right, selling these packages.  What you will discover if you buy one is a rehashed version of one of several 'get rich quick' schemes that have been oversold in other venues.  On the surface they seem viable, but in the long run, they turn out to be more work than viability.

Now, before I sign off on this one, let me also point out that I've not purchased one of these packages.  I don't know anyone that has.  But I do know a couple of people that have purchased SIMILAR packages through other venues (newspaper, radio, seminars) and found them to be more hot air than hot profits.  If you're still questioning the deal, go back and re-read the second paragraph above and see if your answer has changed.  No?  I thought so.
