Just made roughly $350 this week

Amazing what people will pay and I loooooooooove bidding wars.

Here's a few of my items that sold fairly well

Wallace & Gromit Alarm Clock
Jeep plushie
Pussyfoot plushie
2005 Mustang RC car

Now I can pay off some bills.. by a new jacket and hopefully find something for my dad for Christmas.

I had some coins I bought from the mint. The Lincoln Penny proof had a slight error. An error which turned out to be somewhat common. But I sold some penny proofs for between $50 and $80. I had started the auction for $0.99. Not bad when you pay about $1 from the mint.

Oh no!!! Not the phalic Little Mermaid cover!!!! <_<

Personally, I always thought that some people had too much time on their hands. I bet you probably could fetch a nice price. After all, Amy sold a Burget King bag with Garfield supposing flipping the bird...

I have sold..............Two things this week....
Dale Earnhardt Diecasts and a misprinted Tv Guide with Adam Petty. It was made in 2000 but a printer error said 1999 on the side.

I have 44 scarves. I am attempting to sell them this morning at the Santa Shop at my youngers school. If successful I will have enough for my darlings Holiday present. If I sell them all, I am up $500.

Oh and I had a wheaties box on there, I did not misrepresent it as mint, because its been lying around since 1997 with wheaties in it- bought it cause it was Earnhardt. Some Wheaties collector bought it, It arrived damaged. I refunded half their money, and let them keep it, AND went out of my way to send them the USPS insurance claim forms. Guess what? The MFA still left me - feedback and never withdrew it. Plus I have sold a lot more stuff than left feedback.

That is how you get bit on the butt being nice. Where is Karma when you need it?

Ok... now I'm back to hating eBay haha

Got my first negative feedback in over a year. This guy was EXTREMELY late with his payment. I emailed him no less than 4 times, and no response. I give all buyers 10 days to send in their payment. It's eBay btw.. NOT LayawayBay.

So.. he sends me the money and I told him that I was going to deny it once his e-check cleared. He made some sob story about how he really wanted the item. So.. I finally caved in and mailed it

But, the little brat leaves me negative feedback as a get back at him for leaving him the negative feedback. He also tried reporting me to PayPal.. but it's past the 30 days

ARGH!!

You're lucky to break even at a craft show. I did one a couple years back and didn't do so good. But EVERYONE loved my items and ideas.

BUY SOMETHING THEN!! hahaha

Hey April.. can I request a certain scarf colors I think they are nice.. I'm interested in a purple, orange and maybe pink, green or teal blue, in it
