eHow articles

I've actually written a couple of eHow articles lately. So far, eHow has really been the best place I've found to make money online. Here are the articles I finished recently:

My Recent CL Purchase

A girl needs to make money online, but sometimes she needs (okay, or "wants") to spend money online sometimes. So... I made a Craigslist purchase yesterday! I got... are you ready for this?... I got a Super Nintendo to kick it old skool style! I used to be a really big gaming fan, but sort of grew out of it, got tired of it, something. My son and stepdaughter are always playing, though, and making games look like fun. I always get frustrated with their games- I've just had a hard time learning 3D with those controllers (kids and their newfangled contraptions these days!). So I decided to score my own gaming console.

I spent a few days really searching and watching on eBay, and decided I really didn't want to spend more than $25 if it was just the console. I placed an ad on Craigslist and received quite a few messages. Only one was perfect: I scored a Super Nintendo, the Mario game I wanted (Super Mario World... I also want All-Stars, but maybe later, as that one is going to be harder to get), and two other games... all for $30! And I'm having a blast with it! (My son is in awe of how great I am on it, and finds the game hard! It's not so easy to downgrade, I reckon, haha!)

Be sure to always take shipping into consideration when buying from eBay- or anywhere online! I could have purchased a Super Nintendo on eBay for $15-20... but shipping would have cost me another $10 or so.

One more thing about shipping- I've been finding out lately, with all the shipping I have been doing, that it is often cheaper to ship USPS Priority Mail service than it is to ship them parcel post. Those flat rate boxes and envelopes can really save some money- and it's faster!
