I reformatted this so it would fit on the blog area.
The last part is interesting. If I’m not the correct sucker I’m supposed to ignore the message. In addition to ignoring the message if I’m not the intended victim, I’m prohibited from sharing the message with others.
Now, I’m not a lawyer, but I’m pretty sure this scamming company has no recourse in the advent that a misdirected spam email is shared with others.
In fact, I’m so sure they have no recourse, I’ve posted this piece of spam here for all to see.

Also interesting is this says to fax the form after it’s filled out to a 212 area code which is in New York, but says the company is in Hawthorne, CA 90250 USA.

Be an antique dealer?

admin — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 06:20:16 +0000

I wrote a five part series for my antiques site a while back about becoming an antique dealer. It’s been quite popular with my students.

Part one covers how to start dealing. You can read it at the above link.

I screwed up or was hacked.

My toy train website train99.com dropped off Google years ago. I thought Google had banned the site because it was over optimized. I was writing articles about specific toy train models like the Lionel Mickey Mouse Circus Train, Lionel’s 402 locomotive, and American Flyer’s K335 Northerner Loco One of the plugins loaded links to eBay auctions below the content. The allowed readers to see what the trains were selling for on eBay.

Initially I did OK with the site. eBay paid me a few hundred a month for the traffic and the articles were based on trains in my collection, or on items I’d sold on eBay so I didn’t have to spend much time adding new articles.

Just before train99 fell out of Google, eBay changed their affiliate program and my earnings dropped so the site was only making about $25 a month.

I assumed Google had blocked train99.com and the money wasn’t worth the time to try and fix it.

Recently I’ve been playing with Google’s Webmaster tools for my ebay advice website. I added train99 to the list of my websites in Google expecting to see the site had been blocked.

It turned out there was a robots.txt file on train99 telling search engines to ignore the site. I wouldn’t have added this to my site, but it’s been years so I can’t say that for sure. I don’t even know when it was added since my site has been moved to different servers. I changed the robots.txt file and now I’m waiting to see what happens.

Two weeks after I changed the robots.txt file Google crawled train99, but has yet to index any pages.

New Interview for eBay sellers

admin — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 22:02:05 +0000

I just added an interview with Sydney Johnston called Adding Backend Sales To Your eBay Sales to IWantCollectibles.

It’s a PDF that explains how to sell low priced items on ebay and then sell the buyers more expensive items. The process works for affiliates too.

Two new eBay articles

admin — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 18:42:33 +0000

I wrote two articles last month relating to Jim Cockrum.

Actually, one’s not an article, it’s an interview Jim and I did about how we went from eBay sellers to building online businesses. Great stuff, and FREE!

Jim Cockrum on building an online business

The other article is a Review of Jim’s Fullfillment By Amazon package. My article explains when you want to sell on Amazon rather than eBay, and my thoughts on Jim’s package.

I’ve slowly been updating my ebooks and interviews and decided to put links to all of them in one place.

This helps me keep track of them, but also helps YOU find them.

I’ve decided to give some of them away, other have low prices. You’ll find reports on Antiques, Collectibles and eBay, Creating and selling information products and on Internet Marketing.

Here’s a link:
