It was an eBay-related business that I had used many times. The resources I used were common sense and a realistic perspective on business, neither of which I was raised with :O. I went in knowing it might be a ripoff so I didn't go into debt. Just used up some of my retirement account.

There was little time for due diligence so I developed a relationship to the owner of the business to help calm my nerves.
