I mean its cool but he really just got lucky. He had a built-in connection and got lucky that his site got hits. He uses a Yahoo! store even shrug I'm jealous but...

Yeah you'd think he'd get his own company site by now instead of a yahoo store but whatever.
I agree with Wolfeman here. He got lucky. That is cool though.

Its tight he is making a bunch of money but its not like he invented so great thing. He set up a simple site with a Yahoo! checkout and just had the connections to import the stuff cheap enough to make money. More power to him, I want to be rich someday...

Pretty nice site for a yahoo site. So what is his story? He buys chairs from oversees for cheap and sells them here?
I might actually buy a chair from him. They look pretty nice.

About the man with chairs.....I guess that's good for him, except he probably doesn't realize all the little chinease kids getting paid eighty two cents an hour to make [ibc1e589a87][ubc1e589a87]him[/ubc1e589a87][/ibc1e589a87] rich.

you guys have to realize there are probably a lot of people who sell at the same price or lower than he does, but it is all about the marketing and sales. The feature did not really touch on that, but I doubt that most of you would be able to make millions even if you had the same inputs that he had available to him.
