Highlight of my day was selling a professional 35 mm slide & negative scanner on eBay.

Last night I posted a very good listing using pics I took in my makeshift studio here and then writing a compelling description. My efforts worked! Had an offer just shy of my asking price within an hour!

Actually, there’s probably resellers on eBay who scoop up good stuff as fast as it lists. Nothing to do with any skill I have at all. :)

Man, eBay takes a big percentage these days. Then PayPal gets their share. Then the online shipping cost estimator was off by about $15.

If you’re selling via eBay, make sure you pad your price to cover it all. Dang! I could have lost money on the whole deal. :facepalm:

So what’s everyone doing?

I had my PET scan, then walked 4 miles. I’m trying to hit 5 a day. I’ll do that last mile with the dogs after dinner.

Reading eBay’s fine print, packaging and driving to the post office. An ordeal I tell ya! :)

Hope all went well with the scan. It’s beautiful here today. Hope it was even nicer where you are for your walks.

I hung around with poop patrol this morning. Had my septic tank pumped. Sound exciting? Want details? This afternoon I tire shopped. Negotiating deal with Mrs. Tire on a new set of Michelins factoring in warranty on current tires. It’s not black and white. It’s negotiable. Tires are expensive but with many things, you get what you pay for.

Good advice. I sold some stuff on ebay a year or so ago. You have to pay attention to costs. They don’t hide it but you have to look at it.

I want the details of how they chewed you out good for not getting it done sooner. :sneaky:

Oh! And how they forced you to sign a contract to have them back within 4 years. And they wouldn't leave your property until you signed. And if you fussed too much they were gonna just dump what they suctioned out right there on your front lawn!

:pop:

Hello Everyone. TGIF. Still alive, still trucking (a lot).

Have a Safe and Blessed Day, and a Great Weekend.


hmmm... just how much is a "lot" ? :?::blink:

BK's description of Lot.... more than one should have done ... e.g. I drank a lot of rum.. :)
then I threw up a lot, and took a lot of headache pills, and hurt a lot, and missed a lot of work, and didnt make a lot of money, and the wife fussed at me a lot for missing work...

and finally... I used the word lot a lot :)
