So what do you sell? Any item is fair game – collectibles, toys, books, computers, programs, videos, music, food, clothes, tools, appliances, furniture, etc.

The only limit to what you can sell is your imagination. The key is to emphasize the benefits – solutions, fun, convenience, entertainment and protection – and not mere items. Don’t forget to be creative.
