   When Brent and Priscilla Crouch of Greenbrier, Tenn. heard about a neighbor's teenaged son earning $15 to $20 a week re-selling products on eBay, it started them thinking.
   ...
   Brent, an engineer at General Electric, moonlights in the business, and the couple employ a neighborhood man on a casual basis to help out with warehousing and shipping. The company's 12,000-square-foot warehouse is on their residential property.
   
   If it all sounds too easy, it's not, Brent Crouch says.
   ...
   Even though Crouch uses Auctiva, an online auction management tool, managing the auctions is still labor intensive. "If a product isn't selling, you try a lot of different things - change the picture, the [length of] time [the auction] is running, the descriptions, you might change the categories. It's a lot of work."
   
   The Crouches' eBay Store, which they set up shortly after starting the business, is not their primary focus, Brent admits.
