I have 4 eBay auctions ending tonight, so this article in today's NY Times made me chuckle. I may be 10 years older than these kids, but I think we share some common virtues! Ever since I started selling on eBay, I find myself looking at EVERYTHING in our house with a more critical eye!
My favorite quote:
Bradley, the eBay maven, has discovered his own source of passive income: books in his younger brother Justin’s room. “If I get into a selling mood,” he said, “I will look around the whole house for things to sell. All over my brother’s room there are books that we have never read just lying around.”
He has put Justin’s “Hardy Boys” books on eBay three times, he said. And each time Justin goes online and takes them off.
I'll report back on what sold in my auctions later today.

I did 7 listings of heavy furniture items that we'd like to sell before our relocation, thanks to your heads-up about the 20-cent listing sale. 2 of the auctions have ended and both of those items sold. 5 more auctions end later today; all have watchers but no bids so far. I'm hoping 2 or 3 of the remaining 5 will sell. My husband & I have been on pins & needles all day!
