MM was 75% of target and 87% of last year.

RM 95% of target and 103% of last year.

What tips or tricks can you pass on!!!

Dave’s tip from the other week helped him again as you can see from his figures. It also helped Paul in Grafenwoehr who used the tip see Paul’s email.

Hi John, very much liked David’s idea with regard to the “Younger look”. I tried this today with a 00499JK and a Calvin Klein tea shirt, within 5 minutes a sale was made on this item……… So David it does work and many thanks for the tip…. Regards Paul Grafenwoehr

Paul sold another one after he wrote this e-mail. The tips do work.

Good luck and good trading
John Collins
