SS in two years, and I'm thinking about offering some electronics kits
on Ebay.

Hmmm, I'm sort of doing that with a real web commerce store, but people are
really cheap! I can't imagine what would happen if I tried to sell on eBay,
I think people would want a year of free phone support for a $1 item
that cost me $0.99 to make. It is REALLY hard to make any money when
selling to the hobby-level group, with competition from China, etc.
