16. I miss the old ebay so much.

It was fun, it was thrilling, it was profitable, it was educational.

As a seller of (mostly) antique and vintage paper items, I had the fun of researching them to the nth degree to find anything about them that might enhance desirability. Just loved it.

I'm mostly out of ebay now. But I watch a seller who does very well, just to see what she's putting up. She sells vintage and retro kitchen, holiday, figurines, linens, and various other items. She makes a lot of money -- very nice supplemental income. She has a good eye. She also has a mall space. Her SO takes the photos and manages the accounting.

It can be done still if you have a niche and can acquire attractive stock that is profitable.
