Last year I had the pleasure to get to know, spend time with, and become friends with, a brilliant eBay teacher, CJ Jacinto.
CJ retired early to sell on eBay. XOXMAS is one of the few sellers who’s trading assistant work is thriving. She’s sold items from collectible chalkware to celebrity fashion and everything in between.
While today she loves selling used goods and collectibles, her life long passion – what makes her a treasure trove of knowledge – is her former work. CJ spent her career as a buyer for several large retail corporations. CJ worked her way up from a shelf stalker & cashier to running a large acquisitions department. She spent her working life going to trade shows, negotiating with vendors and finding products. Her quest for the best prices and products took her all over the country and around the world, including China. CJ knows how to find products that others haven’t got a clue about finding. She’s the first to tell you, looking on the Internet for the best wholesale products may be easy, but isn’t the best method.
You know, what makes her even better (lots & lots things about her, but) for us in the Seattle area, I mean. She has family up here. And one of her grandchildren is getting married in April.
Which got me to thinkin…. What if we could talk CJ into swinging by and teaching us some product sourcing techniques?
So, I called her up and asked, “If I can make it worth your while, would you come teach us?” And, she said yes. I know CJ is generous to a fault, but I really don’t want to impose on her (too much). She has a thriving business to take care of and extra days away cut into her profit margin.
Here’s the deal. Before CJ and I go any farther in planning I’m throwing this question out to my Puget Sound Area readers, or anyone who wants to travel to the Seattle area. Would you sign up for a product sourcing class? Click Here to take survey
Date: Monday April 6th. If we get enough yeses, I’ll book the room and set up a place to for you to buy tickets.
Because CJ will have to take time off and will need to book a hotel room – (I’d love her and her partner MJ to stay with me – but cat and dog allergies prevent it) and I’ll have to pay to book the room and we’ll have a few other expenses – the tuition will be around $80.00 to $100.00 per person, depending on how much interest there is. So, please factor that in as well.
Please help us determine if there is enough interest by taking two seconds to answer two questions “yes” or “no” at survey monkey. Click Here to take survey
