How to make money on eBay from other peoples mistakes!

Misspell Ebay!

Many people list items on ebay. But, did you know that the title of the item is never spell checked unlike the item description?

So when people search on an item that they want, they normally spell it correctly and all the misspelled items are never found!
Using this guide i will help show you how to:


1. Find misspelled items.
2. Get daily notifications of any new misspelled items added.
3. Use an easy way to snipe on ebay, Last second winning bid.
4. Other secret tips for you.


1. Find misspelled items.


You could sit for hours on end trying to type in each possibility of a spelling error manually, which would take days and you still probably would never find all the ways a word could be misspelled. So to make it easier use one or more of these misspelled item finders:


http://www.auctionintelligence.com

http://www.bargainchecker.com

http://www.goofbay.co.uk



Now all you have to do is type in the CORRECT spelling of the item you would like to find and these programs will search all fo ebay for any variation of the name you have typed in.

Here is an example of http://www.auctionintelligence.com, as stated above:



This is what the page looks like when it opens the search:



I would suggest that once you have found the item you would like to watch the item, by clicking . There is no point rushing off and making a bid as this will only increase the final amount if someone else bids on the item.

However, if the item is at a low bid, lets say $0.99 but the item is worth a whole lot more you may as well put a bit in for $1. (Tip: mose people will put in a bid of $1 so try and use an unusual bid such as $1.03 ect.)


2. Get daily notifications of any new misspelled item added.



Ok, lets say you really want an item, you want to be the first to know about any misspelled same items that get listed, dont you? Absolutly!

Now you can constantly check yourself. But wait, you dont need to do that.
All you have to do is save your misspelled items as a "Favourite Search" (See Image Below) in ebay and ebay will automatically inform you when a new misspelled item is added, Wonderful, don't you think?




3.Use an easy way to snipe on ebay, Last second winning bid.


Ok, what sniping basically means is that you place a last second bid on an item and snatch it right from under another potential buyer's nose. Therefore you win the item for yourself.


Here are some sniper programs that you can use:


http://www.auctionsniper.com/

http://www.bidnapper.com/

http://www.snipeswipe.com/


Most of them let you have a free trial but do eventually charge various amounts. So you can try them if you like.

Wait! There is a simple way you can do it all by yourself!



Here's how:
Find the item you want to snipe. View the item description and wait until the item is ending within say 5 minutes. Now open a new window in explorer. Simply look to the top of the screen and choose FILE, NEW, WINDOW. or simply Ctrl + N.

Open the NEW WINDOW you have just opened. Go through all the normal steps of placing a bid, even type in the amount you wich to bid, but DONT PLACE YOUR BID YET. STOP when you get to the page review where you comfirm your bid.



Now go back to the original window that you had open that shows the item descriptio and use your REFRESH button, top of the screen, or simply press F5. Now keep doing this until the item is ending in 20 seconds or less, if you can handle it.

Once you decide that it is the right time to bid, go back to the second window (The one that has your bid typed in) and click COMFIRM BID. you have saved precious seconds because you didnt need to go through the process of getting to the Review and comfirm bid page!



Now you will most likely get the winning bid and the item is yours!


4. Other secret tips for you!



Many people have discovered the secret of misspelled items, but think about it, they are all looking for different items so there is many misspelled items to go around.

One thing you could do is deliberately misspell a word in your item description. This would mean that it will show up to all the misspelled bargain hunters too!


If you think you have made a bargain but not 100% sure a simple way to check is to click Advance Search from any ebay page. You will find it at the top right hand corner.



At keyword search type in the word of an item, ie, Nokia E65, Now almost directly underneath you will see a tick box, COMPLETED LISTING ONLY.



Select this and then scroll to the bottom of the page and choose .

Ebay will now show you all the Nokia E65 items that have recently ended. You will see that the items have the price on the right. When you click on the item it tells you whether or not it sold. You will now know an average price for how much a Nokia E65 is selling on ebay. Make a point of always checking any item this way so you neber pay too much for an item again!



I hope this guide helps you out.

How to clean your guitar:

This works on both acoustic and electric guitars.

Items needed:
- Microfiber cloth
- Pledge Classic Beauty Furniture Polish. DO NOT USE PLEDGE WITH WAX!

- A guitar (wooden ofcourse)

What to do:
Take your guitar and place it on a rather soft surface, like a bed or table with a cloth or towel on top. Make sure the head is supported, either by the surface it's laying on or something to raise it, like a pillow or a wrapped up towel.

Than spray some Pledge on your guitar, not too much and whipe it off with the microfiber cloth untill all pledge is gone.

Best is to start with the body, than spray between the pickups and wipe it.
If you are having trouble wiping between the strings, take one end of the cloth and pull it under your strings.
If you are done with the body, both the front, back and the sides you can do the neck.
Don't worry, pledge won't damage your strings, it's actually pretty good for your strings too. Just apply a little bit of pledge on it and wipe it off good. Than take the cloth and wipe under the strings. Also clean the back of the neck and than clean the head.

Result:
If you're done, your guitar should now shine and with some you should be able to see your reflection.

Some might ask, why Pledge?
The answer is pretty simple, there are ofcourse other brands of guitar cleaners and polishes, but these are expensive. You can get a 250ml (8.4 oz) can of pledge for ~$ 2,- or ~$ 3,-. Some even say Pledge works better than guitar polish, but I can't say that, since I never used anything else.

How to pick a guitar for YOU!

First of all, you need a price range. I recently bought a guitar and my range was $400.00 - $650.00.
Anyways, if this is your first guitar a good price range would be $100.00 to $300.00. Probably the best beginners guitar would be a Fender Squire Stratocaster or Telecaster. They range from
$75.00 to $450.00 USD. My first guitar was a red Fender Squire Strat. Nowadays Squires usually come with
a whammy bar/ tremelo. Some things to look for in a guitar is the shape, the wood, the pickups and so on.
ALSO, if buying a Gibson or an epiphone MAKE SURE you know if it's a bolt-on neck or not. For example,
A Epiphone SG Standard is around $400.00 - $625.00 USD. A Epiphone SG Special (Bolt-On Neck) Is From $225.00 - 350.00 USD.
If you're in a $500.00-$1000.00 dollar price range, look for Seymour Duncan or EMG pickups.


Now, if you want, when you're starting out, they have Squires like one my friend has from $275.00 - $400.00 USd if you have a bigger budget.
They cost so much because they usually have a sunburst finish, which costs more. Also, they would have Duncan Designed single-coil pickups. which are
a cheaper version of Seymour Duncan pickups.

I'm going to be talking about some well-known guitar brands here and they're prices.


[ESP Guitars: Anywhere from $150.00 to about $5000.00 USD. Depending, the guitar they have some nice guitars.
If you need a price, check on their website or on google.

Epiphone guitars: Anywhere from $200.00 to around $2000.00 USD. Almost all of these guitar kick ass
and I recommmend them. But trust me, don't go cheapo and get a bolt-on neck.

PRS (Paul Reed Smith.): I don't have much experience with these, but from what I know and have heard they're pretty decent guitar. They are a bit
pricey but I think they range form $300.00 to about $5000.00 USD.

Parker: Well, I recently bought a parker P-42 second hand for $450.00 CAD with a amazing hard case
and I am AMAZED. Most of they're guitars go for over $600.00 and I think mine is worth around $1000.00 USD.
I really recommend these. The nitefly is amazing.

Vintage: These, again I don't know much about. As far as I know, they go for $225.00 to probably $1500.00 USD.
If you buy one, get some info on them. They look good and play okay.

Gibson: Everybody's gotta love a Gibson. If you can afford one, buy one. The awesome thing about Gibsons is
a Gibson Meledoy Make is only around $600.00 to $1200.00 USD. Besides that guitar, they go for about $900.00 to $10,00.00 USD.
One thing about Gibson. Recently, they came with the Darkfire. This guitar is AMAZING I've never tried it but, it tunes itself, has an amazing finish and goes for about $3000.00 to $4500.00.

How to kickflip on a skateboard

This guide will hopefully make your understanding of how to execute a kick flip on a skateboard

~

Things needed:

• Skateboard - Specialty shop - A good skateboard.
  
• Flat bottomed shoes - Shoe store - Any skate shoes AKA Vans, DC etc..
  
• Flat space of smooth surface, IE concrete, blacktop, etc
• Ability to overcome small fear of shredding your balls
• Able to ollie correctly - Ollie tut - Google
  

~

List explained in more detail

• Skateboard - Of course, you need a skateboard to execute a skateboard maneuver.
• Flat bottomed shoes - Best for landing on the board without rolling your ankle.
• Flat surface - Things such as rocks or small inclines or rolls can easily throw you off balance and cause injury, sand, dirt, gravel, anything as such can jam your wheel and send you flying face first.
• Ability to overcome small fear of shredding your balls - This is a bit more complicated, the 5th time I attempted a kick flip, I missed kicking the board and the board went vertical in between my legs. It hurt to walk for a while. I've done it many times, it is not very fun for you. Maybe for others.
• Ability to ollie correctly - If you cannot ollie, kick flipping will be very difficult. It's best to learn this before trying a kick flip.

~


Ok, now you have your requirements, you have your shoes tied nicely, let's get to the real skateboard part!

First off, place your feet like this:




Now, bend your knees down and do the first steps of performing an ollie.
Instead of sliding your foot forward, you slide it quickly off at an angle towards the nose of the board, this is the angle you slide quickly, and downwards.



-NOTE- DO NOT KICK LIKE THE NAME KICK FLIP SUGGESTS YOU DO-- If you kick instead of slide, you can mess up in a number of different ways, one such way is overpowering it, and landing wheels on your foot, and then your whole body wight minus a leg smashing wheels into your fragile toes.



Now, as your coming down, make sure your feet end up landing on the squares of bolts above the trucks, like you would in an ollie.
No picture is needed here, at least it shouldn't.


~

If you've followed these steps correctly, you've done a kick flip, congratulations, BUT, you most likely wont magically be able to master it.

It is a pretty hard trick compared to other starter tricks, it takes a lot of determination and ability to not throw your board at a tree after you failed it over and over again.
I've seen it happen

How to talk to the opposite gender/how to get a date

Before you read on, if you haven't you MUST read 'Physco Cybernetics'



Basically anyone who has trouble talking to the opposite gender I would recommend this book. It isn't about picking up girls or boys, but basically getting your mind right. Anyone who tells themselves that "they suck with girls or boys" has more going on in their head than just not being good with girls. You are telling yourself things which you may not realize and it is holding you back.

"Would you physically crawl up to someone on all fours, BEGGING for their approval and acceptance?"

Probably not, but this is what you are doing mentally when you talk yourself out of approaching or when you get nervous and stressed out when approaching. You need to look at them as a person.

Anyways, good book. Should definitely read it.

Right let's get back to the point of the thread

• You have to understand the time, effort, mental preparation needed before you can chat up to anyone anywhere.
  
• If you only talk to the opposite gender when you know them or they are your friends or you know they will talk to you, you need to EXPAND on your social network.
  
• TALK TO EVERYONE, whether they are fat, ugly, nerds, most popular guy/girl in the school, even your teachers
  
• The problem with movies these days is that the GUY or GIRL always gets the GUY or GIRL. They make asking a girl/guy for their number or asking them on a date so easy and awkward. THIS IS NEVER TRUE.

• Also if you HAVE NEVER talked to the opposite gender without knowing them first, don't expect to appear impressive to them at first. You'll most likely look awkward but its normal.
  
• Isolate what is troubling you about approaching a person you don't want to.
• 'Will he/she think im ugly?' Who cares what they think. They aren't important anyway. If they don't want to talk to you, that's their problem, they're missing out on a GREAT opportunity to meet a cool person like you.

Quote:

Just keep trying.

Remember haters are just jealous. You are what you BELIEVE you are.
You can wake up feeling great one morning and feel absolutely shit and ugly the next day. YOUR MOOD AFFECTS the people around you.

Start small

• Maybe ask the girl/guy you always had a crush on or found attractive a few questions in class? Say hello when you see him/her. Offer to help them when they are stuck.
  
• Don't expect them to hate you/love you in the first conversation. They are just getting to know you. Don't act cocky, don't try to be 'cool', don't flirt unless you are experienced, STAY SMALL.
  
• Also note, avoid talking to guys or girls a lot on Facebook/MySpace etc and expect them to talk to you with as much interest Irl.
  
• If you are a really shy guy/girl, then try talking to a girl/guy YOU FIND REVOLTING. Then you will feel superior (it sounds sad but true with a lot of guys/girls). Once you feel more confident move up the hierachy. Talk to more popular people/attractvie people of the opposite gender more often.
  
• Also if you are walking on the street in a mall. WATCH
• there will always be a few guys/girls starting small chat with the opposite gender. Watch how they do it, if you're close enough listen.

CRUCIAL INFORMATION

• Never I MEAN NEVER look for prewritten pickup, opening conversation tips.
• PEOPLE prefer socially active people not a robot spewing internet bullshit.
  
• Even if you don't know what the hell to say to the opposite gender, you will improve with practice. Pre-written lines may sound great, but will appear awkward and you will eventually run out of sources. Making your own means you will improve your technique.
  
• Also You have to learn how to not be afraid to say ANYTHING to ANY GIRL. DONT HOLD SOMETHING IN because you are afraid you will offend her. BUT DONT GO TOO EXTREME. For example, don't say Nice hiney baby, in your opener, you'll most likely get slapped. If you think she is beautiful however, comment that shes looking good today, she won't frown upon you unless you are some extremely ugly toad, which 99% of us ain't.

Also did you know, the a large MAJORITY of guys/girls who randomly ask an opposite gender for a date/number get rejected on the first go? They will get this.

GO AWAY

SO don't feel alone. Keep trying. Theres billions of people to chat up to. If one shrugs you off who cares.

Thanks for reading, leave a comment and I'm still adding more when i can.

How to run faster and lose weight quickly while running!

INTRO

Running is a skill that'll help you throughout your whole life. Being a good runner increases your physical endurance, lung capacity, strength, and body coordination. Almost every sport involves some sort of running, and if you're a good runner you're going to be a better athlete.

HOW TO BEGIN TRAINING

Depending on your age, you probably have a track team at your school. If you want to become better at running (even if you do many other sports), track is probably the best way to go. If you want to get better on your own, or don't have a team available, of course you can get better by simply training. Running is a skill that you can become very good at even if you have very little starting talent.

Always stretch before running. Why? There are tons of problems you can develop if you don't, such as shin splints, and hip and knee problems. Whether you are interested in becoming a distance/endurance runner (ideal for soccer and basketball players), or a sprinter (ideal for football and baseball players), you should always begin with a warm-up of about a mile (1600 meters or 4 laps around a track). This will help loosen you up to avoid cramping or pulling a muscle. After warming up, take 10 minutes to stretch and relax before you start your workout.

WHAT TO RUN IN/ WHERE TO RUN

When running, you want to make sure that you're wearing running shoes that fit you, and are comfortable. If you don't, it's going to be very painful on your feet, and all that pain is unnecessary if you want to forgo spending $50 on some running shoes. The best brands I can suggest are Asics and Nike,
These are the ones I use, I suggest them:


What clothes you run in isn't as important, just pick a light T-shirt and light shorts (under armor is good), nothing too sweaty or confining.

A school track is a great place to run, but it's pretty boring, I usually prefer to run in the city or my neighborhood, more scenic Just make sure you have a watch and you know where you're going

HOW TO TRAIN:

For sprinters (me), I would suggest a 20-25 minute run either through a neighborhood with not too much traffic; you don't want to stop every 3 seconds for a stoplight, that's not much of a workout . Next, return to your starting point and stretch and relax for about 15 minutes. You should then work on sprinting. I suggest (for short distance runners) to sprint around 200 meters (it's best to do this on a track), then slowly jog for 200, then return, wait 5-10 seconds, and start another 200. You should do about 8 of these if you want to get in good shape.
I drew it out here, should be clear:

Afterwards, stretch for 15 minutes, and do some strength circuts (suchs as 30 sit-ups, then 30 push-ups, something of that nature), and you're done. It's also very helpful to lift weights a bit to get your arm strength up, believe it or not, running requires strength in every part of your body, just make sure you leave a 4-hour gap between running and lifting, or both workouts are going to be stunted .

HEALTH:

Of course continuing this routine is going to make you a much stronger, faster runner, and you're definitely going to feel your speed improve after around 2 weeks of this. It's also a way to lose weight quickly if you're concerned with that. If you begin to have intense shin or hip pain, contact a coach or doctor immediately and stop running. Also, don't pig out on McDonald's right after you run, it cancels the whole thing out. Foods with high fiber such as pastas (without too much grease in them) will give you lasting energy, and are especially good to have near when you're going to be working out. Don't stress over every single calorie, of course you can eat red meat and things like that, but just keep it limited and not too near when you're going to be running. Eating fatty foods right before you run *WILL* give you cramps. Energy bars and things of that nature are great to eat a few minutes before or after you run/work out because they're not very substantial but provide lots of energy. Eat healthy while you're training and your results will be apparent more quickly.



I hope this guide was informative enough and that someone out there learned something or will be inspired. Running is awesome!
