Sorry, I am not trying to offend you. I really am trying to help.
I pasted your initial post above this paragraph for me to look at while I respond.
No where in it does it state, or even suggest, that you have had any success selling anything. If fact is says that you would love to sell drums or guitars.
Now you say that you have had success doing this in the past ia classified ads?
If this is what you want to do and have had success in the past doing it, why are you asking for advice that ultimately states that you would love to find a way to make money selling guitars and drums?
Also you said that you were willing to try anything once and then went on to tell me that I you will not be selling the pen.
Even stated that you were the best salesman ever because your read the books and whatever else? I am puzzled!
If you don't want to sell the used pen don't
That is your choice, but answer (to yourself), Self, why will I not be selling the pen?
Might the answer to this question may be the answer you have been looking for?????
Seriously, think about that for a bit.

I can't help but be straight forward and blunt, and if you don't want me to reply to anymore of your questions just tell me so and I won't.
I don't like to waste my time, so if you would rather I not respond please say so.

I am willing to help and like nothing more than to see people go from point "A" to point, where they wanna "B".

Who is this Jason guy anyway?
I would like to to think that I am a person that offers honest advice at an affordable rate.
Again, Best of luck,
Jason
