Hey, frens. I was talking to a relative I hadn't seen in a very long time. She is now retired but having worked mostly in sales doesn't have a good retirement scheme. She wants to continue working, but needs to do so from home and asked if I knew of anything she could do. I really don't. Do any of you have any suggestions for something a nice, reliable lady could do? She didn't finish college so she doesn't have a degree, but she's sharp and gets things done. With so many employers needing dependable help, surely there must be something for her. Please post any ideas you have. Thanks!

Thank you. I asked some follow up questions before I saw this. Very interesting. Your interests fun the gamut! Haha. Some of those things seem very hard to pack and ship, like guitars and fur coats! But if it's worth the profit, I can understand why. Great post. Thanks.
Fur coats are super easy because they aren’t fragile, just throw in a box and mail out. Shipping a Gretsch White Falcon is a little more detailed.😂
HOT TIP: Lots of crafty folks are repurposing fur coats (making hats, mittens, vests, bags, pillows etc) so even a coat with splitting pelts due to improper storage has some value for the right buyer. Beaver (shorn and unshorn) is a fave as well as mink.
Oh wow. How did you get your hands on the Falcon? Was it an estate sale or something? And I suppose it depends on each item AND what you paid for it yourself, but what would you say is your average markup / profit? Actually, I'm sure ebay takes a cut so after you pay whatever they get, what would be a fair % that you would expect to make on an item?
