Ebay is excellent

I think I mentioned I put some items up on eBay the other day. I love it! I swear one of the quickest natural highs a person can experience is to check the 'My Ebay' page to see how one's auctions are coming along and to see the bidding going up each time you check. It's so fun! I put up some of my Dad's old video store movies, some old soap opera magazines, plus a bottle of perfume my mom never wore and a couple of items of expensive clothing that still had the tags on but were never worn and no longer returnable. Three items sold 'Buy it Now!' style within the first day and three more items have bids on them even though we are only halfway through the auctions. That's kind of good news because the truth is that the majority of bidders like to wait until the last minute. The perfume bids keep going up and up as does the bidding for one of the movies. I started bidding at $2 and it's now up to $11. Yay!

The only downside to eBay is the constant monitoring of the auctions. I TRY not to check every time I walk by a computer but I can't not do it. It's so addictive.

I'm debating about what else I might put up. Last Tuesday was a discounted day for sellers so I hurried to put some things up, but really, I have other stuff I wanted to put up and the regular insertion fees are not that high.
