eBay Live was so much fun!

eBay Live was so much fun! It started with our drive up to San Jose on Wednesday, June 22nd. Maureen (Mo), my assistant, and I stopped off in LA where I had an interview to be the host for a new television series. I will keep you posted! After L.A., we got lost and took the 99 instead of I-5. Yikes! That mistake took us an hour out of our way but it turned out to be great. As we were unloading the car in front of the convention center, a news crew from San Francisco/Oakland's channel 2 was there and wanted to film me. I was on the news that night and again the next morning.

We manned the booth on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and had so much fun. All the eBayers were incredible, especially Patricia, Erin and Kelli--three really wonderful girls who had read my books and said that the books had changed their lives for the better. Here is a picture of our booth. That is Mo over in the corner.



Our booth was right next to Wiley who I am writing the new book for. It was great!

Thursday night was a big opening kick off with a rally lead by Meg Wightman (CEO), Griff (Spokesperson) and Bill Cobb (President North America). eBay went all out and all the food at the concession stands in the building were loaded with free food: hot dogs, popcorn, ice cream, pop and anything imaginable.

I was interviewed for eBay Radio on Friday by Griff and Lee and that was a blast. Here is another photo of the interview. See Griff and Lee thumb through my book!



Friday night found us at a party at the St. Clair hotel with our new friends from NuMarkets. From left to right is Russ, Mo, Dwayne, me and Jesse.



Saturday, we had to take down our booth and pack up. It was really sad. We met so many nice people, including the entire eBay Canada bunch that we thanked with free copies of “The 100 Best.” They have invited me to tour eBay Canada in Vancouver BC this summer when I am back in my hometown of Bellingham, WA for a few weeks.



Saturday night was the final event with a dinner and concert by the B-52’s! It was so fun and I got to dance to Love Shack with Griff. What an experience!

I can't wait to go again next year. Next year's eBay Live has been announced and it will be held in Las Vegas June 13-15 at the Mandalay Bay Resort. I don't know why I had never attended but I am definitely going back and I encourage you all to attend! See you there!

    Watch this One to Trad,e!

    Because, EGTY has secured the global rights to market
    genetically enhanced fast growing, hard-wood trees!

    EGTY trading volume is beginning to surge with landslide Announcement.
    The value of this Stoc,k appears poised for growth! This one will not
    remain on the ground floor for long.

    KEEP READING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ===============
    "BREAKING NEWS"
    ===============

    -Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY) owns a global license to market
    the genetically enhanced Global Cedar growth trees, with plans to
    REVOLUTIONIZE the forest-timber industry.

    These newly enhanced Globa| Cedar trees require only 9-12 years of growth
    before they can be harvested for lumber, whereas worldwide growth time for
    lumber is 30-50 years.

    Other than growing at an astonishing rate, the Global Cedar has a number
    of other benefits. Its natural elements make it resistant to termites, and
    the lack of oils and sap found in the wood make it resistant to forest fire,
    ensuring higher returns on investments.
    T
    he wood is very lightweight and strong, lighter than Poplar and over twice
    as strong as Balsa, which makes it great for construction. It also has
    the unique ability to regrow itself from the stump, minimizing the land and
    time to replant and develop new root systems.

    Based on current resources and agreements, EGTY projects revenues of $140
    Million with an approximate profit margin of 40% for each 9-year cycle. With
    anticipated growth, EGTY is expected to challenge Deltic Timber Corp. during
    its initial 9-year cycle.

    Deltic Timber Corp. currently trades at over $38.00 a share with about $153
    Million in revenues. As the reputation and demand for the Global Cedar tree
    continues to grow around the world EGTY believes additional multi-million
    dollar agreements will be forthcoming. The Global Cedar nursery has produced
    about 100,000 infant plants and is developing a production growth target of
    250,000 infant plants per month.

    Energy and Asset Technology is currently in negotiations with land and business
    owners in New Zealand, Greece and Malaysia regarding the purchase of their popular
    and profitable fast growing infant tree plants. Inquiries from the governments of
    Brazil and Ecuador are also being evaluated.

    Conclusion:

    The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little
    known Companies That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens.
    This s-t0ck will not be a Secret for long. Then You May Feel the Desire to Act Right
    Now! And Please Watch This One Trade!!


    GO EGTY!

    I recently got laid off of a corporate America sales job due to a reduction of the sales force. It was a horrible surprise and suddenly I was unemployed. I was quite stunned when it happened but the whole episode has given me time to look at all the exciting venues eBay has to offer. I have read several books in the past few weeks about eBay, but I am extatic that I purchased the fabulous new book you have given us "The Unofficial Guide to Making Money on eBay". I cannot put the book down and I am going to use your advise as I dive into life on eBay. I cannot wait to finish your informative book and start my life over...it is so exciting! I have sent a copy to a friend of mine, who is unhappy in his job and I hope he will read it with the same enthusiam that I have. Thank you for all your valuable information and I am sure this not only comes from me but all the lucky people who have picked up your life changing book. I will spead the word. Thanks again...
