Stuff and things

I've been working for several days on bits and pieces to put on either Ebay or my new Etsy page. Not sure which would be the most profitable.



This one make me happy.

This one makes me laugh!!

Oh, dear...just noticed I can see me reflected in the "We're feeling our femine side" one.

Ebay....a curse and a blessing

I have been selling on Ebay on and off for many years now. I have concluded that had I been more diligent in the beginning I might now be one of the "power sellers" thus making the selling of my precious items unnessessary. Meh. I am having sellers remorse today. I put an item for sale that I have had and loved since 2003....my LOTR coin. Why I am allowing myself to feel badly about this I've no idea. It was given as a gift so any monies from it are a plus. And it's not as if it is one of my most beloved items from my LOTR collection....I don't know as I would ever part from my little hobbits or 'sting'....lol. So, yeah, I suppose it is more a feeling of being ripped off as the other coin sales for this item have consistantly sold for higher and when I finally list mine it goes for a pittance. And then the buyer...a coin collector on Ebay asks if I have another as he wants more.

Sheesh dude. Do your own research. You can see the other auctions as well as I and it is not allowable to sell outside of Ebay...they want their cut. What is their cut now? TEN PERCENT. Basturds. Ok, that is the total amount they took because of the insertion fees but really.....wish that I had thought of an online auction years ago....damn. The founders of Ebay must be rolling in it.

Why is it that my little ideas never produce this kind of success? Perhaps I just give up too soon. There's that. And most likely that is the reason. I tend to be impatient when it comes to these things. I want my ideas to flourish like a dandelion on a white trash lawn. Oh...dear....that is probably very un-PC.....lol. But in my defense I am the white trash with the bad lawn....because...who REALLY cares if your lawn looks perfect when you live in the burbs? Oh, yes...the snoots. I was a snoot once...thank god I saw the light. Having that big house with the perfect lawn and perfect toys and perfect, perfect....bleah....what really matters is whether or not you are happy there. I am kind of enjoying the fact that I am now...once again....hanging my laundry on a line to dry. lol Ok...that train of thought didn't really flow smoothly but.....who cares eh? Hopefully, the reader didn't get lost too far up river......

Or should it be DOWN river??
