Goofball

eBay AuctionsOne of the reasons I’ve not shared my eBay auctions on “My eBay Adventure” is I don’t want you critiquing my work.

Every so often I’ll find errors in them and think to myself, “you goof ball, how did you let that slip through”.

So this morning I get an email from a customer saying,
“Hello! Your shipping description was confusing: “For this auction our shipping service is limited to the United States Postal Service’s UPS Ground Mail.” As far as we know, USPS has never shipped UPS.”
I’ll give ya, “As far as we know, USPS has never shipped UPS.” :roll: Aren’t we funny Mr. Didn’t ask for your opinion customer……Actually I’m soooooooooo glad this guy took the time to tell me this…….and told him so,

Testing 1 2 3

Testing 1 2 3Ahhhhh Haaaa Haaaa Haaaa Haaaa…..

I’ll just add a couple of drops of this and a couple of drops of that……and…….and……and…….I’ll create a monetized blog the likes of which a Search Engine Crawler has never spidered before.

Ahhhhh Haaaa Haaaa Haaaa Haaaa…..

Now where was I?????? Oh yea…..”Testing 1..2..3, Testing 1..2..3″.

Please excuse my over enthusiasm with the placement of advertisements. I’m learning as I go here and will ratchet it down when I get a handle and what the heck I’m doing.

The Multi-Headed Monster

Can Of WormsNo joke……each new can of worms you open is just chalk full of “Learning Curves” ready to sap hours…..no make the days worth of time from my all ready full schedule.

Oh..but..I forgot..everything is just so eeeeeasy to learn and do……isn’t that “theeee” line being sold on the Internet these days. No wonder so many people succeed at Internet Marketing.

Before I talk about my slow day take a “Tera”….peak at the nifty eBay search tool located on the left side of my blog. I get to throw this on my blog since I’m a member of Terapeak Market Research. It’s a pretty cool search tool and I’ll be using it myself.

Working in the backyard

Working in the backyardIt’s 5:15 and I just got home from my shipping run, it’s time to crack open the laptop and a cold one 8) and do some more work. What’s nice is I’m able to bring most of my office with me wherever I go, so my legs are stretched out in the 88 degree heat of my backyard while I tidy up some eBay odds and ends.

Yea….baby!!

My Internet connection is blazing fast up to about 50 feet outside my home allowing me to do the Snagglepuss “Exit Stage Upstairs” during the summer months.

Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh the toils and troubles of working for yourself :wink:

Saying Hi To the Unexpected

3 Doors Down I’ve still got thousands of odds and ends I haven’t listed from the Radio Shack liquidation purchase I made almost one year ago. I’ve probably tripled my money on this investment and it helped jump start my eBay education.

One of the items I left on the shelf was this CD of 3 Doors Down. I didn’t have a clue who this band was so there they sat on my shelf. I purchased about 40 of these at a buck a piece.

About a month ago I threw these on eBay not thinking they’d do a thing. Wrong…these things sell great at $10.00 bucks.

Debbies Got Me Under Pressure

In the wise words of “Elmer Fudd” making moolay off a blog can be “vawee…vawee….twicky business”.

I’m desparate at nothing so if you see a few Google Adsense Ads having absolutely nothing to do with “My Ebay Adventure” know Google’s……….“Got Me Under Pressure”………and I’m mapping out a blog strategy that will get the “Love Advisor Debbie” Google Ads off this site.

But it could take some time. Whatever?

The chaff grows with the wheat before the final harvest.

PS: I just figured it out and Debbie is gonesville…

Another Good As It Gets Moment

Jimminies…….How cool is this?????

As my Led Zeppelin CD screams out “Communication Breakdown” through the computer speakers poised a foot from my ears….volume turned up so high it tests every woofer and tweeter inside, I can’t help but pause from my eBay shipping routine I’m enjoying to let my audience know I’m having another “as good as it gets” moment.

Just creating the right work environment in which to serve others in… :-)

Yesterday a friend of mine called about 11:30 AM and asked if I wanted to go golfing. I hesitated, looked around for the boss, then remembered….oh yea….that’s me ! :lol: and told him……aaaahhhhhh……….YEP !!!! what time?
