If I were going to start a home based business with under $10K, I would definitely consider Ebay being in the picture;)

I have an idea that I am turning into a marketable product for under $750. I also sell electronics on eBay. Yesterday, a handfull of my auctions ended for a profit of $320.

I am now trying to get reliable sources for goods, to keep the eBay flow going.

Heh, I started my IT consulting firm with far less than 7grand :D Find something that you are good at and like doing. If you can save money, especially in the beginning, by doing the majority of the work yourself, you should be able to stem the red ink on your cash flow statement a bit.

If you can come up with a neffer trap that will maim/behead/electrocute forum pests you'll really make a fortune.

$7k would definitely buy enough drugs to flip them and make money, do some of them, repeat.

Kidding, of course. :)

Assuming you're not starting an online business repeat after me.

You could do well with a sausage cart if your meat is good and cheap.
