Often times people to stop to realize the income potential of their “junk”. And, when they DO decide it might be worth selling, they never give eBay a second thought.

As I preach over and over again to my customers, don’t ever think that you have something that nobody else would want, unless you’ve really taken the time to do a little eBay research.

I’ve sold my wife’s old tea pots, bowls, AOL CD’s, books, etc. that we no longer had a use for. And, it usually brings a lot more cash to the table than a yard sale or flea market sale would.

Most items in good condition will bring a pretty fair price on eBay if you take just a bit of time to locate the correct category for that item.

Then again, there are times when you may have something that really doesn’tlook all that great. What should you do then?

Well, depending upon what it is, you may want to sell it “as is.”

Case in point is a lamp I’m getting ready to auction off. (My wife brought it home to me the other day.)

It’s obvious that this lamp is old. It doesn’t work (that I know of,) and it has a bit of tarnish on it. But, I’m NOT going to try and “spruce it up” before I put it up for auction.

Now I don’t know squat about lamps. But I DO KNOW, that this particular lamp was made in the early 70’s. About 1972 I think, and the WORST thing I could do is try to “clean” it to make it more presentable.

I’ll dust it off, and take a couple of pictures, but it will be sold “as is.”

Why? Because someone that DOES know about lamps, will exactly how to clean this particular item up in the CORRECT manner, so as not to damage it.

They will know it needs work, and they will know what, and how to bring it back to the condition it should be in.

One of the “biggies” these days is the “country” look in home decor.

So, look around. See what you might have stashed away in the corner of your garage, in your attic, etc. Don’t want it any more? Just drag it out, dust it off, and sell it on eBay.

Someone is sure to be looking for just the item you no longer want.

Airport, airlines blame outsourced companies

This special combination lock, recommended by the US Transportation Security Administration, can be opened by airport officials making random security checks of luggage. The officials have secured codes and tools to safely open and reclose the locks, without cutting them or damaging the bag.

Suvarnabhumi airport is stepping up surveillance of luggage on conveyor belts _ not to look for explosive material, but to prevent bags from being opened and valuables stolen by staff, airport director Serirat Prasutanond said yesterday.

Mr Serirat said security cameras are an effective tool for monitoring irregularities at the airport, but the airport needs more people to patrol areas where cameras are not installed.

He made the comments after reporting on thefts from luggage of inbound passengers at the airport.

The airport is only required to oversee baggage on its conveyor belts, while airlines are responsible for carrying bags to and from the terminal, he said. Airlines outsource the duty to other firms.

Besides staff of the various firms, other thieves could be people who pretend to be luggage transporters, Mr Serirat said. They board vehicles transporting luggage and rummage through the bags, he said.

One suspected thief has been arrested after an illegal act was recorded by security camera, he said. Another incident occurred on Aug 12, when a passenger of a Thai Airways International (THAI) flight from Chiang Mai to Suvarnabhumi complained of valuables being stolen, Mr Serirat added.

Chayata Tharnpisalsamut, a university student, said brand-name handbags and belts were stolen from her luggage early this year on the flight from London to Bangkok. The bag was delayed for a day and it had been opened, she said.

”My friend lost 10 Diesel watches among other things,” she said of a friend who returned on a flight from the US.

Some thefts have been blamed on employees of companies hired by THAI and Bangkok Airways to carry passengers’ bags between airplanes and the terminal.

Chaturongkapol Sodmanee, deputy director of Suvarnabhumi, said bags from the US were vulnerable because, according to a US law, passengers are not allowed to lock their luggage, facilitating random checks at airports, unless they use devices approved by the US Transportation Security Administration. These locks are specially designed to be opened only by certain airport officials who need to inspect bags, he said.

THAI president president Apinan Sumanaseni vowed to make sure companies hired by THAI did not employ people who would be involved in such criminal acts.

Princeton tops U.S. News rankings, again

Princeton holds the top spot in the latest U.S. News & World Report college rankings, the eighth straight year the private, New Jersey school has either tied or held the top slot outright.

Williams and Amherst were the highest-ranked liberal arts colleges.

The rankings, which hit newsstands Monday in the magazine’s annual “America’s Best Colleges” guide, are facing particularly vocal complaints this year from a group of colleges and educators working to develop an alternative to the system.

So far, the group led by education activist Lloyd Thacker hasn’t formally enlisted any of the top-ranked schools. But the magazine has responded to one complaint: that the rankings punish schools for enrolling low-income students. For the first time this year, U.S. News is factoring the percentage of students receiving Pell Grants into its calculation of a school’s “graduation rate performance.”

Also new this year: The magazine has included the service academies. The U.S. Naval Academy is ranked No. 20 in the liberal arts college category, and the U.S. Military Academy is No. 22. The U.S. Air Force Academy leads the list of “Best Baccalaureate Colleges” in the western region.

The formula for the rankings includes variables such as graduation and retention rates, faculty and financial resources, and the percentage of alumni donating money to their alma mater. The biggest single variable — and the most controversial — is a reputation assessment by peer institutions.

The top 10 national universities were:

1. Princeton University

2. Harvard University

3. Yale University

4. Stanford University

5. California Institute of Technology

University of Pennsylvania (tie)

7. Massachusetts Institute of Technology

8. Duke University

9. Columbia University

University of Chicago (tie)
