About My Article - How i got diamonds
Hey All
so i have been getting tens of emails daily of people asking me questions/giving compliments on my article. The most common question that I’m getting is “How did you manage to get diamonds at 13?” So i figured i’d make a blog post about it lol.
When i was almost 13 i went on ebay and tried to find a “Trading Assistant” who was in my town (A trading assistant is a person/business like the I-soldit franchise I wanted to bring them business via friends at school and get a cut of the commission the trading assistant received. I ended up finding a guy whose name is Crispin; I asked if he would let me sell stuff/help him find customers and he said sure. My job slowly turned from me selling my friends stuff on ebay (He just showed me the ropes :P), to me buying diamonds and coins from Crispin to sell on my own. It was a very fun endeavor but i was getting overwhelmed going to the Post Office every day and shipping out 30-40 packages!!
I ended up doing like 300 or so transactions on overstock auctions and a lot on ebay too. I tried to stick to overstock auctions as ebay Suspended my first account one day when i listed 10 auctions totaling $10-$15k in value. They required to see proof i owned the diamonds etc (it was a big pain in the ass).
Any other questions??:P
I like that you did not let a little negativity deter you from continuing your online business. persistance always pays off!

Ah..now i see how you did the diamond thing. Ebay can be profitable for some folks, but it is a pain in the butt, i agree. Glad to see you sharing your tips to success. lol.

Hi,
I have been looking for a good company to outsource my project. I saw the article about you in the magazine and was wondering if you could give me the details of the company in India that you are working with and what your experiences are with them.
Thanx
