Craigslist still scares me.lol<br /><br />PracticalP--I've been avoiding housework today. Listing on eBay makes me feel like I got something done even when I ignore the dishes and the laundry.lol<br /><br />AnnieJ--lol...they don't want to be outbid or sit around and wait on the auction to end. I just put a big lot of Thomas trains up yesterday and I've got a guy who wants a couple of pieces so he wants me to break up the lot. At least you doesn't want me to open a sealed package and sell him part of an NIP item...I've had those kind of people before.lol <br />Here's hoping no more trolls come out from under their rocks and bother your listings!lolslugmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728856166374248591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-3644867491680898042011-11-27T22:33:54.961-05:002011-11-27T22:33:54.961-05:00May have just had my first unreasonable eBay shopp...May have just had my first unreasonable eBay shopper. Not whacko, just unreasonable. I have an item starting at 19.99, with Buy It Now for $39.99. PLUS shipping in both cases. No Make Offer option available. A shopper just asked, publicly, no less, if I'd take $27.99 shipped. Basically, he's wanting to Buy It Now for the starting bid and shipping.<br /><br />Um...no.Annie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123644833186800503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-27362804325323003922011-11-27T20:41:56.400-05:002011-11-27T20:41:56.400-05:00I meant--"You never know why people but, but ...I meant--"You never know why people but, but sometimes you can know why they buy and need to wait until later to pay." The teachers all said they were through shopping and had spent all their money. I don't know if they were living beyond their means or not. <br /><br />Today, trying to stay dry.

I suspect at least 2 out of 3 will sell, but you never know.<br /><br />Not doing much today. Kat has a cold and I have a tummy ache, so we're just "layin' low". Shane's processing another deer...third for the season. We have no room for it. This one will go to his mom and step-dad, who are having a rough time of it this fall/winter.Annie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123644833186800503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-36060125069304111842011-11-27T17:34:58.950-05:002011-11-27T17:34:58.950-05:00When I sold at craft shows, the only people who as...When I sold at craft shows, the only people who asked me to hold a check until the beginning of the month were teachers. This was their only chance to buy from me. I would not be present at the end of the month. I never had one bit of qualms about selling and holding a check. I figured I would need money in three or two weeks or whatever, so I held the check, knowing a teacher who bounced checks was in trouble with the school. <br /><br />When I was paid monthly, bills were paid first. I rarely had a chance to find anything to spend money on because if I weren't working or sleeping, I was driving. <br /><br />The only time I felt guilty about selling to anyone was when I was allocated a space in front of Kmart in a mall. People came out of there and stopped to buy, mostly look. This was a depressed area of the state. The people I did not want to buy were lacking in dental care, shoes, and shampoo. I felt sad when they bought. None of the people from the expensive anchor store came down my way, well, not many. Sales were dismal. <br /><br />You never know why people buy, but sometimes you know why they buy.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-21098163790354969142011-11-27T15:13:13.394-05:002011-11-27T15:13:13.394-05:00Ah, Sluggy, you have a very honorable conscience a...Ah, Sluggy, you have a very honorable conscience about what others use their money on, but really noone's putting a gun to their heads and making them buy on ebay... I would also point out that in the cosmic-karma scheme of things, you more than tip the scales toward the good-n-frugal end of the spending spectrum just by writing this wonderful blog :)I'mSoPrettyhttp://ifartfairydust.comnoreply@blogger.com
