I have a funny story that your post reminded me of. Ebay was hot for the seller in the late 90's/early 2000's. A seller could get a fair price for their goods back then. I used to use ebay for a side business back then because I was a single mother, and the side business was like an extra income in addition to my regular work. I got the kids involved in ebay buying. My youngest son had an eye for antiques, as well as anything of value. We would go to the yard sale, and he would walk straight to something and call for me to come look at it. That kid was good. My daughter on the other hand hated yard sales and would just go for something to do. She was not into helping with the ebay business. Well one day we were in the dollar store and she saw retractable dog leashes. She told me to buy ten of them and put them on ebay for a dollar each. I said no, that wasn't what I was really interested in selling on ebay. She persisted and I gave in because I thought this kid is finally into helping with ebay and maybe I shouldn't disregard her ideas. Those damn dog leashes sold for between $10 and $20 each. LOL!!! She's 24 now and if I don't really like a suggestion that she has given me, she yells at me and says "REMEMBER THE DOG LEASHES??? WHO WAS RIGHT AND WHO WAS WRONG???" LOL
