RECESSION MARKET PLACE April Listings
As a business person facing economic hardship it’s time to sell talents that have value, and ‘things’ of interest but not essential. I am reminded of the Depression of the man standing on the corner selling apples from a basket. I don’t see the basket too full and the product yet unsold as a negative, but in my mind we see sales at least occurring which if not selling apple pies, selling one apple at a time is a step of renewal.
This is a Marketplace open to Subscribers for any product they want to list (See Listing-how-to Post). Treat this like a Farmer’s Market, a neighborhood garage sale, estate-rummage sale—but where the products are worthy and perhaps fire-sale bargains. The buyers should also be winners. From our attic/garage comes the following:
