DW loves to quilt. I suggested to her about a year ago, when I got her a quilting machine, that she sell some of her projects. (This was not because we needed the money, but rather to keep the load of un-necessary quilts in our home and storage areas to a manageable level). She said "no, because then it would be work". A couple days ago, not remembering this conversation a year ago, she said "I'm getting really good at this. I should open a business and sell these." I just smiled, and said, "yes dear." I'm going to leave it at that for now but in my spare time, I'm going to see about selling on Ebay, look up craft shows and things that she is unlikely to do herself in preparation. When and if she decides to go thru with it, I'll be ready to run the business end of things, and she can do the production. I doubt we would ever make much money at it, but if we were making some earned income during RE, we could dump it into a Roth (that we wish we could but are not eligible to do now).

PS: Moe if you've got any good tips about where to start learning about eBay, I'd love to hear them.
