Free Radio Station Interview By Sydney Johnston & George McKenzie

George McKenzie, formely a radio talk show host for KAHL AM, in San Antonio, Texas, recently interviewed me, Sydney Johnston. George has graciously posted this free radio station interview online - both in audio and print format - and invites folks to listen to it. George is one of the good guys and he has a rich, mellow voice that makes listening a pleasure. Check it out here:

Free Radio Station Interview

Here is an excerpt:

"George: You’re known as the “Auction Queen” around the internet and we had you on the show once before but it’s been some time and I know we’ve picked up a lot of listeners since then. And when we talked about eBay particularly, people think, oh yeah, you know, you can do something on eBay.” You go around to garage sales and you go around to estate sales and things like that and you pick up stuff that people don’t want. You get it cheap and then you put it on eBay and you make a fortune with it right?

Sydney: Wrong. Not at all!

George: How do you do it? You do it much differently than most folks do and there are some people out there who make a fairly good business out of eBay but they’re not doing it the way you are.

Sydney: Well you can go to garage sales and the usual things but it’s not a way to make a lot of money. That’s what I call an “eBay Hobby” instead of an “eBay Business.” And that’s fine, there’s nothing wrong with that. People who love doing that, more power to them, but if you want a business you better have systematic method because the problem with going to garage sales etc is, you can’t rely on your inventory.

You know you can spend all day Saturday going to 20 garage sales and come home with $10 worth of stuff, you know, and of course all the great stories, like George I was recently at seminar and you probably know Randy Sherack and he’s talking about he had a $0.99 cent magic trick in his bookcase. Put it up on eBay and got $310 for it. And the whole audience goes “Ooh you know,” but you know that’s a fluke.

George: Yeah.

Sydney: It’s not something you can count on and I was talking to people about it and they said, oh we want to do that. So yeah, think about it. If you got a truck load of those magic tricks, they would no longer be worth $310."
