Research is defined as human activity based on intellectual application in the investigation of matter. The primary purpose for applied research is discovering, interpreting, and the development of methods and systems for the advancement of human knowledge on a wide variety of scientific matters of our world and the universe. Research can use the scientific method, but need not do so.

Scientific research relies on the application of the scientific method, a harnessing of curiosity. This research provides scientific information and theories for the explanation of the nature and the properties of the world around us. It makes practical applications possible. Scientific research is funded by public authorities, by charitable organisations and by private groups, including many companies. Scientific research can be subdivided into different classifications according to their academic and application disciplines.

Historical research is embodied in the historical method.

The term research is also used to describe an entire collection of information about a particular subject.

Where do I get to research from of a business I want to start on Ebay?
Q. I want to start a business on Ebay, but where do I get the research from? With a brick-and-mortar buisness, I get talk to other buisness owners and interview them. But, How do I research a business I want to start on Ebay. I'm trying to write a business plan for a business I want to start on Ebay. I know how much it's projected gross profits, but how do I figure out how much start-up money I am gonna have to have? How many employees to hire. Anybody got any ideas?

A. You really need the book Rocket to Riches which you can get by going here: It has a zillion ideas and budgets, etc. and what to sell online, etc. Also, an eBay store only costs 14.95 a month. The main thing about eBay is pick a niche' and focus. Build up your positive feedback by buying some products (even cheap ones). You really do not need any employees because with eBay you can automate everything - even your replies. You will need a PayPal premier business account. And it has lots of merchant and auction tools for free. Hope this helps and hasn't been too confusing. A good place for research is actually your local library. They have tons of eBay business books and software.

How do I research the value of an antique silver tea pot ?
Q. I bought a silver tea pot service (with tea pot, sugar bowl, and cream bowl) at a yard sale. I would like to research its value on my own. What resources do I use ?
Asked by cocovan - Sun Jul 1 13:01:30 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I would suggest that you put it on ebay with a significant reserve against it but a low starting bid. That way you will find out very quickly (put it on a 3 day auction) if there is any interest in the item and what people would be willing to give. Of course, your reserve would be a price that you certainly would be willing to sell the item for just in case someone wanted it. Give it a try. As cheap as driving somewhere for an appraisal.
