The articles like these would be of immense help for people like me gaining the auction skills and succeed in their business.Brucehttp://www.practicalecommerce.com/articles/676/Bikewagoncom-From-Classifieds-To-eBay-To-Its-Own-Website/#comment61182008-02-15T06:41:25-07:00Good stuff!

Nice to see results when discussing eBay and not just "visit often and bid high"... well noted above it is to watch your margins and take account of all your expenses as to not kid yourself of your profit margins....

There are may out there aspiring to be just like that and this story just enhances the fact that it needn't be hard but you got to open your eyes. I do also think luck and timing has a part to play though. Now with eBay changing its fee sturcture and the advent of selling through blogs, I wonder if people will still turn their eBay shops into real businesses successfully. I know there have been many who have, but proportionately there hasnt been many successful shops, like BikeWagon. Or such a stable one, I should add. Also it will be interesting to see if people start leaving eBay how the buying behaviour of eBay regulars change.
I have to say, visiting the website, I like the cleanness and also the logo, but it might need some updating soon. Also, the tire looks more like a car tire than a bike tire.
But overall, a great example of turning a hobby into a business.
