The Benefits of Buying and Selling LocallyWritten by Donald Lee
Shop at a flea market in Oaxaca, Mexico. Trade with a vendor in London, England. Or sport your wares to collectors in Geneva, Switzerland. You can virtually do just that when you shop or sell goods at an online auction site. You know those global auction Web sites, ones that allow you to bid on thousands of items against millions of other competitors. Sure, they allow you to expand your world and uncover cool knickknacks from around world. But these very same sites also open door to you getting ripped off by someone four thousand miles away. More than 8 billion dollars were spent on auction sites in last three months of last year, but how many dollars were lost along way?Aside from these global auction sites, there are LOCAL classified sites that are transforming Web into spot for neighborhood shopping. These local classified sites offer convenience, selection, and low prices that would expect to find online, along with safety and privacy of local shopping. Best of all, you can feel good about buying from--and also selling to--your neighbors. Wheel and deal on collectibles, vintage clothing, sporting goods, even real estate-all with people you know and trust in comfort and privacy of your living room or study. The benefits of these local classified sites don't stop with these intangibles. They have concrete advantages, such as: Spontaneous delivery. Package deliver in your neighborhood may not be instantaneous, but you definitely won't have to wait two to six weeks if you buy something locally. What shipping? You can agree to drop off or pick up sale item at one of your homes, or meet at a convenient middle-of-the-road spot. You also won't need to worry about finding those shipping peanuts under your couch, your sheets, and in your fridge two months later. No frazzle. Tracking codes are supposed to help you locate your packages in transit, but sometimes they can be more of a headache-especially when they don't help find your lost package.

One word of ultimate advice... become stronger in every day life. How you do this depends on how you get hurt through life. Getting advice from everyone else is easy, all we do is listen or read. But how did first person who created FIRE know it was hot? Because of experience, then second person was told dont touch its hot, an word soon go around etc. This is idea of life. Some choose to ignore "Dont touch its hot" signs and get hurt, even though we all know its hot. But some do take advice. In order to fully understand in life and develop as a person, we need to personally go through it all. Relationships. I've had one or two, but one main one. Im now in my second. My first relationship hurt alot when it ended. The true feelings of love are realised. Lust is sometimes but not all time mixed up with word love. Do we know what love feels like. Could you simply say to yourself "Im in love!" if you can your one of lucky ones, and also one of ones who has experienced alot and gotten stronger in process. Im jealous if you have... Can we write it down word love, how can we describe love. Its got alot to do with word 'Stronger'. We become stronger through our past, we reflect and make ourselves better people in long run! I propose that becoming stronger is feeling comfortable in our own skin. Who cares if we are fat, with spots, or slightly under weight, we all need some advice to help us along. We love reading our star signs, we love seeing story lines on TV about love and hate, this all builds up ideas we get about life. But we need one thing in our lives to help us become stronger and thats someone we can turn to without a doubt and hold in our arms. We are all part of this planet, its buzzing and abundant life. Were all human, and think about it, one man could go through life and be alone, but still be happy. We could say that he hasnt had experience in love, so he hasnt gotten stronger. We all develop in ways far different from each other. But this lonley guy might have had one relationship and decided that enough is enough, he doesnt want to go through it again... but thats where we go wrong. I tell a lot of people to go out there in world and open your heart to world, while were still here enjoying life, open our hearts and let everything in, we definately get stronger as a consequence.
