taxes Last night on the show, our new friend from Outright Software, Paul O’Brien, gave away 10 spots in their new BETA program where their free accounting software will be integrated with eBay’s Selling Manager! Actually, we had such EXCITING, eager listeners, that Paul expanded to allow all TWELVE of the lucky listeners who entered to win a spot!  All winners will be contacted through TWITTER – since that is how the winners were chosen! However, you can also contact Paul directly at support@outright.com. Paul will need to get your eBay USER ID so that eBay can ‘activate’ your subscription. Paul will also need to get your email address for communication. Paul has a great blog at Outright, the most recent post is an interview with David Pickett (eBay: ars.arboris): http://blog.outright.com/bookkeeping/interview-with-artist-and-ebay-enthusiast-david-pickett/.

They also have a Rockin’ You Tube Channel where I found this neat video and more . . . .

The team at Outright is now starting to get involved in the online tax discussion we’ve been bringing to you often over the last months. Please take a look at this blog post and let them know how you think Outright.com can best support this important issue.

The Future of the The Auction Rebel Website
Posted: 05 Jul 2009 09:50 PM PDT
Hello all, this is Gary’s son Mike. I have been trying figure out everything dad had going on online and it seems as though there were a few projects in the works but this was his baby that he tended to every day.MMPBR125x125
For the short term, 1 or 2 months, this site and the garage sale challenge site will remain up and running. Please feel free to use the forums and continue with your own garage sale challenge.
The long term has yet to be decided, I know that I am no auction rebel and am sure that all of you would fit that title more then me. Therefore I would like your feedback, thoughts, ideas about what the fate of theaucitonrebel.com should be. Is the site useful as is or does the information get outdated like dad’s computer that I’m typing this on? No idea is a bad idea, well except if you suggest I take it over, we will all go broke then since I don’t have dad’s eye for buying the 25 cent item at a garage sale that will sell for hundreds or more online.
I look forward to hearing your ideas and thoughts.
Thanks,
Mike Hendrickson

Many of us were saddened last week when we heard of the passing of ‘The Auction Rebel’ from our midst. This stark reminder of our own mortality happens more and more frequently, it seems, as we age. It started me thinking, again, about the ‘end plan’ I have for my business. A wonderful Mentor, Janelle Elms, first brought this concept to my thoughts and I’ve returned to it again & again. Right now the practical matters are foremost in my mind. I guess I don’t want to leave these type of decisions to my family to decide while they are dealing with other pressing matters. . . . . although from the above I can only say that Gary’s son seems to be right on top of everything and handling it wonderfully.  What are your thoughts? What are your plans? NONE of us are guaranteed tomorrow.
