I love eBay. I
absolutely, completely, totally love eBay with my heart and soul,
just like I love Xander. I love it. Where else can you find mint
condition metal lunchboxes, designer panties and goat entrails for
sale at the same time? Well actually, I think goat entrails were just
added to the list of prohibited items to sell, so maybe not
those.
It's a buyer's paradise. When I don't have Giles
screaming at me to attend to some customer, I can quickly get online
and check out the listings. It's also really convenient when we
have an overstock of something. I just list them, and they're
usually snapped up by Wiccas out in some god-forsaken place like
Omaha! That's how we got rid of an overstocking of Mulrak vases and
mini cauldrons. Crystal balls sell like hotcakes, and I pride myself
on doing a very good packing job. Not one of them has ever
broken.
Check us out on eBay; sunnydalemagickbox is our seller
name. We've had 199 feedbacks in a year and a half, and I'm still
waiting for five more! If they don't feedback us, I can get very
annoying and persistent.
Giles wasn't so sure about this
whole online thing at first, but I ignored his arguments and listed
anyway. Now he may not love it, but he's a believer. He even asked
me to get him some stuffy book for him!
My personal name is
capitalist101. Xander thinks it's hysterical, but he wasn't
laughing when I managed to get a hold of some rare comics he was
whining about.
When I walk around town and see interesting
things on sale, I automatically think if it would be worth anything
on eBay. I buy lots of things, and while some of them are dead stock,
sometimes I hit upon treasures. Like this really thin Christian book
I picked up for ten cents, it sold for ten bucks! I've learned
since that items with the words 'Jesus Christ' in the title sell
like crazy. Armani and Prada are also good names.
But
a warning to the inexperienced; don't buy electronics there. I
bought a palm pilot that stopped working two weeks later. The seller
wouldn't email me back until I contacted eBay and threatened to
curse him with hair loss. So I steer clear of those things.
It's
a lot of fun, and convenient too. I love to just aimlessly wander on
the website, looking at various items and sometimes indulging my
whims and fancies. Just yesterday I bought A Beautiful Mind on DVD
for Willow and knock-off Gucci sunglasses for myself.
Slowly
yet surely I am persuading everyone to go on eBay before buying it
for an unreasonably expensive price in stores. I think I'm making
progress with Tara, she made herself a name yesterday (although
sunshineandwillows is a little too sappy for my tastes.) She's
realized the wisdom of buying powders and potion ingredients online,
it's saves money.
Ahh, money, the reason for all of this. I
love money. I love money maybe even a little more than eBay and
Xander. Men may come and go, but money isn't going anywhere unless
you spend it. They may say diamonds are a girl's best friends, but
it's really money. Crisp green cash, doesn't that sound
wonderful?
Eventually they'll all understand how you can
never have enough money. But until then, I have to keep on explaining
it to them, and persuading them to try eBay too.
I think I'm
converting Spike next. He really needs to save money, he never has
enough of it. Maybe he can get blood at discount prices? Or is that a
prohibited item?
