I would also add that related forums are usually a free way to advertise and sell, I have 15 regular car forums I use, and about another 20 not so much, but each one has generated sales, and repeat business, for free.

Also if you get it right forums will push good service and products so very quickly the forum could be talking about how you are, not bad for nothing

times money,
10% or less of any town or community is retail space
smart sellers concentrate their efforts where the shoppers are in the 10%

they dont wander round the rest of the town door knocking
unless they are politicians

Learn the URL of your eBay store off by heart and be able to type it into blog comment fields correctly: not all blog owners will spot that you got it completely wrong and correct it for you
