The Selling Queen Review - Is The Selling Queen Ebay Report A Bunch Of Hot Air Or Is It Really True?

If you know anything about Little Laurie you know I made my living from Ebay before getting the the ex-pat travel bug and wandering the 4 corners of the planet. Ebay was always a goldmine. I started in 1997 just a year or so after Pierre started it in his garage. Back then Ebay had about 10 or 15 employees and you could call them! Imagine that! Does anyone remember the “Hot Page”? All auctions with more than 30 bids had a special page and at the bottom of Page 2 Featured Items there was a “Hot” category with a red flame that showed all the hot auction items. I’m not bragging but most of my listings went hot in a couple hours. Dutch auctions with 50 to 100 items.

Ebay is still a great place for folks looking to make a little money or a lot. The sad thing is most of the get rich on ebay ebooks are nothing more than rehashed BS 3 or 5 years old or ridiculous dropshipping type scammy approaches. I sourced my goods mainly from China starting in 1998. Then around 2000-2002 a lot of the BS “get rich” on Ebay type crappy ebooks started flooding the market. I laughed at most of them. I’d been making good money for a long time so those slick, sterile ebooks just made me laugh. I couldn’t even believe someone would plunk down $97 or $197 for a ebay course. I learned everything on my own, how to automate posting, high bidder emails, end of auction emails, etc…

Those so called courses just cracked me up. Written most of the time by idiots that never had even one $1,000 profit day in their life much less 30 days straight of making $1,000 profit per day. They advertised all kinds of crappy ways. Sell kids underwear you buy for 50 cents for $2 and make 60 cents profit after the smoke clears. That sort of crap.

Nowadays since I’m out of the country it makes it difficult for moi to ship physical items to the states. I’m mainly digital products now. BUT, for those in the states or those selling within their home country like Oz or the UK etc.. there is a unique method I stumbled across recently. Not really unique. She basically sells on ebay the same way I did. Using inventory numbers in the titles to keep track of every item sold and she uses my secret sourcing method. No! not China either. I used China and one other secret source. When I read that report and discovered she used the same way I used to do it really blew me away.

Her ebook is 53 pages long with nothing but meat. No BS fairy tale pie in the sky theory here. I read it, I looked up her auctions on ebay and I started my super top secret program I had built just for me that tells me the monthly grosses of any seller on ebay. She is not pulling anyones leg. She is making what she claims. Her website does mention an amount she makes a month. That is spot on but remember that is gross, not net. After reading her book you will know within 5% what her net per month is and let me tell you, her net will still choke you. Her net was around my net when I was pushing out stuff like mad on ebay. She lays all her cards on the table for anyone to examine.

Now most might think she is stupid. If she does that everyone and their grandmother will copy her right?

Hahaha!!

I had a girl working for me. She needed more money. I offered to help her sell on ebay. She saw my whole backend and my daily grosses. She was the one shipping and counting up the day’s checks. (Back when a lot of buyers sent checks) Even though she saw my entire operation, she saw how much I was making, even though I offered to help her, even after all that she never started anything. She was happy to package items and run them to the post office. Go figure.

So, no, most people will buy her report for entertainment only. A Walter Mitty type fantasy in their brain. Read it and forget about it. 99.5% will do nothing.

Plus, her market and the market I was in was so huge there virtually is no competition.

Her method will work with any item. You are not tied down to one type. Later I specialized in items that averaged $1,600 each. My average cost was around $900. So yes, I did very well.

Why work for The Man when you can make $500+ selling just one item?

Watch the video below. Think about it. If this is something for you then click the link below the video to read more.

Here is my special offer to sweeten this deal like there is no tomorrow. If you decide to get her report I will include links to my 2 secret weapons I used to find all the dirt cheap items I could buy until my money ran out. These two secret weapons when combined turned into something ten times greater. They allow you to be johnny on the spot and scoop up all the crazy bargains before others know about them. Within 15 seconds you will know products are available to purchase at the crazy low prices you need to turn an easy $30 to $500 profit. These two secret weapons do cost a little money. I think something like $20 each or so but I made my money back within 5 minutes of running them. I guarantee you very few people know about my two secret weapons. And yes, you can use these two secret weapons to find any hot selling item you wish to sell. I used the 2 weapons to help me locate those $700-$900 items I resold for $1,500 to $1,600. The only limit is your available capital to purchase goods to resell. I had a fat bank account so some days I would buy 5 or 6 of those items for resale.

Watch the video below. If you decide this is for you just email me ( laurie AT laurie-the-traveler.com ) your clickbank receipt. Once I verify your purchase with clickbank I will send you the links to my 2 secret weapons. Combined with the secret weapons Diana reveals in her report you will be ready to break new personal best records of your own. Your only limits will be your imagination and your capitol.

My Heart Returns To Cinema Paradiso Like The Swallows Return To San Juan Capistrano

If you know me and have read any of my posts you know I forsake media and tv for the most part. With a few exceptions here and there. The History Channel, National Geographic and some classic movies ranging from around 1910 to the late 80’s. With particular attention to Now Voyager, Dark Victory and anything Frank Capra directed. I’m a sucker for old time movies that actually were intelligent and delivered a message. Score 50 points if it makes me pull out a big box of kleenex. There are just so few of those type left. The crap that now comes out of Hollywood never ceases to amaze me.

When I was young the big yearly thing was waiting for the once a year showing of The Wizard Of Oz. Every kid on the block knew exactly what day and what time this year’s showing was coming on. There was tons of popcorn to be popped, hot dogs to be cooked and home made ice cream to be made. Nothing could be allowed to interrupt the show once it got underway.

With that in mind I still keep a list of movies to be watched once a year. WOZ is on it. Rudolph is on it. It’s a Wonderful Life is on it. I have a few others that pull my heartstrings. Today is the day for another one of my favorites. Cinema Paradiso - The Director’s Cut. The 3 hour version. NOT the 2 hour theatre version released to the US audience after being chopped to pieces to “conform” to the US prevalence for under 2 hour films. Granted most cut their teeth on the 2 hour version unless you saw the original 3 hour cut in Europe first. US audiences were spoon fed for lack of a better word the 2 hour version. And a lot of viewers who saw the 2 hour theatre version first will insist to their death the 2 hour version is superior to the original 3 hour version. I disagree totally. If you have never seen this movie I would wait until you get your hands on the 3 hour version. Yea, it’s long, but oh so worth it.

I wish a 2 hour review could do this film justice, it can’t. You have to see this to understand. It’s about a young boy in Sicily that grows up and makes difficult choices that alter the very fabric of his life. He returns home later as an adult and has decisions to make, truths to learn and 30 year old heart breaking mysteries revealed.

I was reading a post over at IMDB from a woman that watched this movie with her family (not sure if it was the 2 hour or the 3 hour version) and stated she and her family were so disappointed with it. She said all it was about was some washed up old man and a boy. She got nothing out of it. Waste of her time she said. I read that and was in shock. I mean it’s like her visiting the the Louvre and saying all she saw was a bunch of colors on some old canvas. Un effin believable.

If you are cold blooded and enjoy action, guns, explosions and made up sugar coated BS then Cinema Paradiso is not for you. I guarantee it. If on the other hand you have a higher than normal IQ and love to lose yourself inside a masterpiece for a few hours then load this in your dvd player. Oh yea, it helps if you have a sentimental side. If you do not have a sentimental side pass on this movie. Do you stock up on extra kleenex for those one in a million great movies that make you cry like a baby? Well, you just hit the mother lode.

There is a heart breaking, soul wrenching scene in the final 20 minutes where Toto has given up all hope and is alone by himself standing on the dock at night looking out over the sea while an overhead light slowly swings back and forth drawing shadows on his face. The person he then encounters next is where I lose it. I mean I LOSE IT. You will know what I mean when it happens. I can play that 13 minute dock scene over and over and over again. I guess I am too soft for my own good. There’s just something about that intensely personal 13 minute scene that rips my insides out. What takes place is something eerily similar to something that took place in my own life. Maybe that’s why I react so strongly to that scene. Whatever it is I am emotionally spent, ripped to shreds, red eyed, happy and sad at the same time after viewing that scene. For good measure I put it on the A-B switch and watch it 5 or 6 times in a row.

Be sure to watch this scene in Italian with English subtitles. Do not watch this movie with the dubbed English. Keep the spoken Italian and refer to the english subtitles. After 2 minutes you will get used to it and the movie is 10,000 times better with the spoken Italian. The inflections, the tone, the music and depth of the Italian language all will be destroyed if you watch this with dubbed english coming out of their mouths.

Below is the 13 minute scene. If you have not watched the 3 hour director’s cut version before DO NOT watch this scene. It will spoil the final 20 minutes for you. Trust me.

Now if you decide to watch the chopped up 2 hour version first then you will never know what I am talking about. That 13 minute scene is not in the chopped up version. And in my opinion that 13 minute scene is worth the entire price of the movie. Yah, it’s THAT GOOD! 30 years of life is explained in 13 minutes. In the very beginning of that 13 minute scene director Tornatore does a close-up now-then-now 4 second 30 year flashback and it’s at that point that Little Laurie starts going through the kleenex. Be prepared, it’s one of if not the most emotional scene I’ve ever viewed in my life.

That’s it for now. I’m off for the once a year viewing of Cinema Paradiso and a most looked forward to 13 minute 2 box of kleenex scene.
