I dont sell anything but there seems to be a load of stuff on ebay for sale. Anything really.
Didnt some chap go to the cliffs on moher and opened up jars to "catch irish fresh air" and actually sell some of them online.

Breathe in, breathe out......so much for Ireland being a nation of entrepreneurs.

Pretty much anything!!

You can really sell anything. Check that your "product" is not on the sale already and if it is then lower the price or offer sweetener or free gift...
Ah, yes, nearly forgot.. please do work on your spelling if you want anyone to take you seriously.

Thats a lot of items that you can not sell
ya i am like the worst speller on thet planet i should really work on that, I wish boards had a spell cheaker ah well.

what i ment was something that you could sell continuously like the way people sell guinness glasses or things as such they have 3 listings of them up and then when someone buys one they click the relist button,
Maybe something irishy for the americans like green grass from ireland *not sure if you are aloud sell that or not* or a newspaper from ireland that has an important event on the front page or such?
something thats easly accessable and sellable.
I have seen the wholesalers and to be honest its a bit of a risk buying all that stuff what if half of it doesnt sell what will you do with it all?

jor el

If you don't know what you want to sell, who you will sell it to, or if they will even buy it, then you really shouldn't be selling anything at all.

Eireann

Have to agree with jor el, things arent as easy as 'sure we'll give it a go'

That will severely limit your ability to sell on eBay, unless you get
someone to write the item description for you.

Some web browsers have a built-in spelling checker. I find the
spelling checker in Firefox very useful. It works well with boards.ie
