Thank you, thank you, TAHNK YOU!!! (see how excited I am??)

Variations of this have been around (and posted on Watershed - THE Place for  Movers & Shakers!) but this must be the newest.......forwarded to my e-bay friends AND have blasted it out to the slightly sniffy neighbours  :P

;D ;D ;D

Brilliant DorisP!  ;D  my OH who is a frequent e/bay user had a good old chuckle all the way through.  He is about to put up for sale an old haversack of my daughters, which is shaped like a sheep, so that would have fitted right in!  :D busy_lizzie

I can't believe some of the stuff people sell there. But then others probably can't understand why I haunt it looking for yet more bits of ancient corroded metal.

Have you had any good buys Robert?  I bought a Roman servant's lamp which complements my temple lamp nicely.  I have looked at the coin collections with their 'promise' that they may have one worthwhile once you have cleaned them but have shied away a bit.  Are they worth looking at closer? :)

If you want uncleaned, don't buy them on eBay whatever you do. I can let you know where to get decent ones, though they're nothing like what you could get a few years ago. I tend to go for single coins and small lots.

As a regular Ebayer 'mostly selling' I found this latest variation really hilarious ;D  I sell alot of knitted items and it seems the smaller and sillier the item, the more they like them, the amount some people pay is ridiculous.

Keep a look out Robert - this is exactly what I am selling, after inheriting quite a large collection from an uncle ;) ;D

What are they? I'd love to have a look if they're ancients. I don't know a thing about modern-type coins though.
Title: Re: For EJ, YP and other E-Bayers!
Post by: Gardengirl on July 07, 2006, 22:35:24
Sorry Robert, all the really old ones have already been sold, only left with more modern British & Foreign.

I have mostly this week bought on e-bay, 2 bikinis, (for daughter) Liquid Latex and latex thickener (I have a cunning money making plan! ;D) and as I type am waiting to bid on 2 pairs of shorts also for daughter, all at bargain prices, Horray for e-bay! ;)

I couldn't resist buying a money box exactly like this and one or two others ;D as they took me back much further than I'm prepared to tell you :-[ ;D I don't use ebay much but I am glad it is there. ;D

Very funny song that. Appropriate.

I have become a regular ebayer of late. Not buying or selling, just browsing and watching, though I did find myself a replacement mobile phone and some accesories for it. Previously I have bought and sold seeds and (bought) plants.
