After a flurry of eBay bidding, secondhand items transform into
dollars. Now even the most technologically challenged can profit
with the help of franchises willing to do all the work. Franchises
such as
iSold It and
Snappy Auction post items, answer questions from bidders, and
ship the merchandise. Bidding big on the concept, iSold It plans to
open 30 stores in California and Texas, while Snappy Auction aims
to open 80 stores nationwide in 2004. For more on this trend, visit
