Hi kwalkdiddy515,
 
I'm not sure I understand what your father bought.  However, if you are just looking for ideas of products that you can sell on the internet I would tell you to sell products that you know, understand and love.  If you pick products just because you think they sell well, you may not have much luck.  To deal with customers you will have to be able to answer questions about your products so you need to choose something that you like and you use.

What to sell... hmm.  An interesting questions.  What do the turnkey sites allow you to sell?  Most often the easiest thing to sell is affiliate products through sites like clickbank, commission junction, etc.  These companies pay you a commission every time you refer a user that buys your site.  Beyond this, you can work with drop shippers to sell physical products or go as far as setting up a fully functional e-commerce site and sell products you stock.  Not sure where you interests lie and I hope this helps...

That's a tough question - like asking "I have some money to start a business - what business should I start?"
There's no real answer - you have to find what fits your circumstance
 
I think you need to take a couple of things into consideration:
1. What can you allow yourself? Can you produce things? Can you store inventory? Do you have time to handle shipping and customer support around it?
 
If the answer isn't a resounding yes you should definitely make use of utzjohn's advice
 
2. What are you interested in? Tracy is 100% right - you are much less likely to get a business going and keeping it up if you have no interest in
