KYA27, Well, most of my stuff is bread and butter items that make me$40-50. I do get a few home runs like that key, and I go to swap meets all the time to get new items. As a retired person I have time to do this.

A lot of the learnings is browsing ebay and generally looking at stuff and building up a sense of what has value. Most of the time I am lucky.
I do get burned though, rarely though these days.

What I am going to get is a wireless mobile laptopr link so if I see an item I can do a fast search to see what they sell at. I have missed a few items because they were not what I knew. Went back next weekend....gone. So a wireless laptop would be of great value. Biggest problem is getting solid coverage in all the places in the country I go to. No problem in many cities, but the woods and bushes are badly served. Slow old tech cellphone links at 22K are too pricey as well as too slow.
They want 30 cents a minute plus a data rate on how many K you download.
