Sorry to hear about the health issues for your son. I don't know of anybody making any money with the internet thing. I know a lot of people do ok selling stuff on Ebay but they have merchandise to sell. Wonder if any of the advertisers or sponsors would let you sell their products on Ebay or via the internet to see if you could reach anyone they aren't getting? Let me think about this a little bit.

 

When the LS1 98+ Camaros & Trans Ams came out I bought a lot of used parts for them off forums from other members and either sold them on ebay or our local magazine which is like an autotrader but its for everything and its big. I usually made at the least $150 reselling something. Its all about what the market is good for though.

 

I've never really heard of anyone actually succeding with those. Like 3Hummers said, my step-brother actually made a living off of ebay for awhile. He would buy stuff at yard sales AND off of ebay and would put the stuff BACK on there and make money on it. Not saying it's real ethical, but it worked. I know that you don't want to get rid of it, but you said you have a "collection" of stuff stacked up in the garage that could get you started.

Hope your son gets better. Is is from the prescription screw up? If so, can't your lawyer get THEM to pay for it? Or is it a matter of time? You need it now before the court battle will be over. Sorry,don't meanto be nosey.

 

maybe you can try advertising, wrap one of your cars with a logo. live near a highway, make a billboard. dont think that will bring in too much $ though. good luck anyway, sorry youv fallen on hard times.

 

thanks guys. I've sold everything already, only thing left to go is the atlas and my brother wants that. He took over the payments on the rubi and the boat so I don't have to worry about that...thank god. The h3 is going to the dealer this weekend coming up to be put on the lot for sale, dealer is going to do it free of charge for me. That's if I don't come up with an alternative means. I'm probably going to put my house on the market and move the family in with my brother for awhile...I dunno....my head is spinning and I am on the verge of losing it soon.

My son has a few things wrong with him, the prescrition thing isn't the cause..at least they don't think, we do have a lawsuit open against Walgreens about that but it's going to be hard to prove that the mix up caused any of this.
My son was born with hypo-spadia (sp?) basically the hole in his ***** is not at the tip of the head and is instead on the bottom, where the head and shaft meet. This if not corrected will cause him to urinate down and might even prevent him from ever getting an erection. How involved teh surgery is depende on what the surgeon says...he will go see him on the 20th I believe. There is also another problem that may be far greater but we cannot bring him to that specialist until our new medi benifits kick in next week. I'm not going to get into it but there is a good possibility that he may have a tumor in his right eye...the symptoms are all there and if he does I am told that most of the times the eye will need to be removed. I pray to god all day and night that he will be ok, and haven't had a good night sleep in 2 months....I don't know what to do any more. I wish god coudtake me and in returnallow my sona healthy andnormal life. I am permanently disabled as most of you know and cannot work, the lovely federal government gives me a whopping $1300 a month and tells me I make too much money to be considered for any medical benifit assistance...when the Indian down the steet from me has been in this country for 10 years and gets $3000 a month and free everything....I wish I lived in Canada....this country can kiss my azz.

Sorry Impy, my old boss that worked here with us last year, his son had a tumor behind his eye also. I saw first hand how hard it can be, I'm sorry that you, and more importantly, your son have to go through this. If there is anything that anyone can do please let us know. Good luck to your family and your son.
