Green Gifts

My son's birthday appears to be just around the corner yet again. It makes me think of all those toys at home especially those requiring batteries. I don't know about anybody else, but nothing drives me crazier than buying batteries that I KNOW will be dead by the end of the week.

I have found a way to avoid this!

Rechargeable batteries!! I love them! I love them for my camera too! The price is a bit of an investment if you get them at the store, but again, you can get them on E-bay for a reasonable price.

They make a great gift for any occasion too. We ALL use batteries, why not give someone a charger and their first set of batteries to get them set on their way to living a more green life?

We don't carry any at this time, but I do encourage everyone to swich over. And when they won't hold their charge any longer, please remember to dispose of them and all batteries appropriately.

Each of us has an impact!

Where did the summer go?

OK, it's only August 11th and the stores already have sold out on school supplies. They are already putting out Halloween items. Seriously? What's the hurry??

I am finding that our E-bay sales shows this shift as well. The summer clothes just aren't selling now. People have moved on to the long sleeve clothes already.

Guess Summer is over despite the almost 100 degree weather here!!

Good thing we have clothing for all seasons in all sizes available!!

Stop by and take a look for yourself!

The Time Capsule

Ever need to buy a gift for that guy who has everything.
You know the one, if he wants it, he'll buy it.
So what can you POSSIBLY get him that he doesn't already have?

For me it was my brother. When he turned 40 they planned a big party for him. I didn't want to just get him a gift just because I wanted it to be something special. Something he'd never forget. He has always been a great big brother!! The gift should reflect that, right?

I racked my brain for weeks. It finally came to me in the middle of the night. I would build him a time capsule! I went to the local thrift store and bought a vintage suit case. I went on E-bay and searched for items from his birth date, his birth month and then his birth year. Obviously price was an issue and it had to fit inside the suitcase. Couldn't be too heavy since I lived out of state and had to transport it.

It was a blast to put together!!

An issue of Life magazine. Look at all those old ads! Amazing! A comic book released in his birth month. A CD of music from his birth year. A roll of pennies from his birth year. A copy of a first edition Dr. Seuss book released in his birth month. A wine label from a vintage produced on his birth date from GERMANY!! We are German and he loves wine! Why not! Besides I put it in a frame and it was beautiful!!

It was almost as much fun putting it together as it was watching him open it.

Turns out it was the hit of the party too. We put on the CD and passed around the various items. It was a great conversation started with his friends that I hadn't met yet.

What a great gift to save for his son too. "Hey look at what the world was like when I was born!"

Gift Problem solved!!
You just HAVE to love E-bay!!

If you list it, it will sell!

You would think that the longer you sell on E-bay the more you would understand it. This is so NOT the case!

After 7 years I am still amazed at what people buy. We list things that are Brand New With Tags and marked 95% off MSRP and just beautiful and they seem to get ignored. Then we list something else that we think, WHY bother? This thing will never sell! And THAT is the exact item that everybody seems to want!

It sure does keep life interesting!

What I am wondering is who can afford to buy at the department stores anymore? With the economy the way it is, I feel like E-bay is THE way to go. I know that's where I do MY shopping!

I can honestly say, I do not buy anything without checking E-bay first!

My goal is to just keep listing as much as I can. What I DO know after 7 years is that if you list it, it will eventually sell! Eventually sell! Everything does!!

Happy Friday Everyone!
