I have to agree with those that say hold on to any stedy income you can, I'm like chuck, lately making my scrapers has allowed me to buy more pen junk, my wife has a job albeit not a great one and she being a sweet younger lady, (at least younger than dirt) when I break wind dust flies out. but I've only sold 2 pen last month, neither a high dollar item.
I can recommend a web server that charges 12.00 a year, I use them and have been happy with their service, but I've yet to make a sale from it, Probably my fault for procrastinating on a shopping cart, I hate to go outside IAP members but that is a significant dollar savings.
It's just a sad fact that we are all in a precarious financial situation, they announced this morning that the American populations assets were down 23% of their value from last year.
I can't imagine things being much better across the pond, I know that over here there is very little disposable income, there may be some Niche markets left but I haven't a clue as to what they are, or where they are.
Probably your best shot is to sell off some of your Bog Oak and Yew to Idiots like me, who has spent nearly every thing I've made from my scrapers on wood and kits that I hope I'll be able to sell one day. or else will have to figure a way to make them taste good, ever try southern fried Afzelia Burl??
