#lock-off

Sumday is one of the largest resellers on eBay. I am constantly finding condos they are selling that meet my criteria.

I never buy from them because the listings are usually filled with errors, cryptic or they want to collect maintenance fees with the bid. For example. one of the condos on my watch list says no maintenance fees until 2020. But then down in the description it says they will bill…

Its Worked Well Enough To Quit.

I started doing this a year ago, in hopes of financing a few vacations. If it worked well I hoped it could provide a little additional income. What I dreamed of was being able to do it as living.
