My Space ......

Hello and HAPPY SATURDAY!

Has anyone else been playing with my space?
I was told by some successful eBay sellers that they set up an account at
myspace and direct traffic to their eBay store.One person told me that they get a ton of
traffic and Sales that way!

I am just playing with it myself and trying to GAIN FRIENDS,, lol

Anyone else have luck with this marketing strategy?

Hows Sales?

How are sales going for everyone?
I am working on a new ebook and I must say I am having a blast helping people!
Today I helped someone add a WATCH code to her auction.
It took many emails back and forth but it was well worth it.

I have resell rights on all my ebooks because I feel everyone should sell them and help more people too!
Like a chain reaction thing since, many of the ebooks out there are just that
 EBOOKS, but with mine
I keep helping those that need it.

I am sure someday I may get to busy but for now I LOVE it!

It's very rewarding to help others, don't you agree?

GOODMORNING eBay Land!!!!!

**yawn**stretching out arms**

It's going to be a GOLDEN eBay Selling and Listing Day!

Getting caught up on my feedback too!

HAPPY Anniversary TO ME :-)

YEE HAW! Today is my 3 year Wedding Anniversary to the Irish Man!
And He bought me a NEW HP COMPUTER!

He felt sorry for me  because of all the money I lost on my old computer. UGH ..
Lesson Learned! When your computer acts out of whack .
THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW and get a new one!
Don't bother with the Computer Geeks! 
DO NOT PASS GO!
DO NOT TRY TO COLLECT $200.00 ...........

EXAMPLE:

First repair man: NEED A NEW POWER SUPPLY!
Second repair man: No power supply is OK .. You need a NEW MOTHER BOARD! Paid: $117.00.
3rd: THIS MOTHER board is not right, YOU NEED A NEWER Mother board give me 55 more Dollars!
4th: POWER Supply is shot, Used one $15.00. Plus labor $75.00
5th: OK, I see the problem NOW, you need a NEW HARD DRIVE!
Can get you one for only $99.00 PLUS LABOR!

LOTS OF TEARS LATER ...   I got a NEW Machine! lol
Blew all my eBay Profits on computer repairs..................  So Hubby bought me a NEW one!

Hong Kong & The Netherlands WHAT are they UP TO??

VERY strange thing going on with me.  I had some buyer show up from the Netherlands. Bought 3 of my 99 cent paperback books. BUT this person had 3 different ebay names and matching addresses at checkout.

SAME thing with Hong Kong. Shows up and buys about 6 of my Cookie Recipes. I was like WOW this is quite the coincidence here .. lol    Suddenly Honk Kong wants to bake some cookies for 49 cents!!

I send them invoices and wait to see what happens.

WELL, they start leaving me feedback telling me how wonderful my items were.

I was like WTH! No way am I going to let them think I will let this slide and just leave them feedback. SO I wait and start doing non-paying bidder alerts.

Couple of them already have become unregistered users and ebay removed there silly feedback.

I can't believe the NERVE to show up and THINK that I would let it slide..

GEESH , it was very strange...........

 

Sunday and STILL no Computer ... ugh

 
 
The Computer Geek blew me off yesterday.
I found out he does not work on weekends.
GREAT, I should of filed un-employment this week!
 
Well, I am still using my hubbys computer and he can't wait to get me out of his office!
But he has no printer and if I hooked my camera up to it I bet his Windows 98 would blow up!
 
Last night I tried my hand at installing the motherboard!
I managed to get it attached a-ok but now I have a few wires that I have NO CLUE where they go.
Will have to wait till Monday I guess.
Unless the Geek Squad dude is in a Sunday working Mood...
 
Meanwhile, I am excited again about my Charity Auction!
I have listed it 6 times now!
People are so kind!
 
HAPPY SUNDAY!

MOTHERBOARD ... Why did you Fail me?

Here I sit and WAIT!
I have been waiting 4 days now which feels like a LIFETIME!
 
My computer has been messing up and I was originally told that it was the Power Supply.
I looked all over town for the best deal, found a repair shop and he tested the box and said OH NO Your power Supply is JUST FINE!
I was like OMG now what?  He tested other items inside the computer and concluded that it was the
 MOTHER BOARD!
Great! 
New mission, searching for a Mother Board!
Found one 2 days ago for $117.00. 
Today is the day a computer friend is coming by to install it!
 
I sit and wait........ WHERE IS HE??
Driving me nutz!
 
I have been stuck using my Husbands computer, with Windows 98! NOT FUN!
 
Major, major computer withdrawel I have been experiencing!
 
I miss my files, my screen saver, I miss my buddy list too!
I pray to God this gentleman knows what he is doing and does not mess up my files.
I Pray I do not lose my hard drive and LORD PLEASE
give this man the wisdom to KNOW WHAT THE HAY he is doing!!
 
And LET HIM SHOW UP SOON!!
Amen and God Bless ............  HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

Golden Palace Hit a HOME RUN!!!


This has been such an Awesome highlight of my eBay career!
The Baseball bat Charity auction! I just listed it for the 6th time!
It became quite a hit and was even number one on the pulse for a few days!
The Golden Palace Casino came in and won the bat giving the Arc of Hope the biggest donation yet of $132.50!

They paid in full and said "re-list it please"!

This has been the most rewarding item I have ever sold!

100% Charity!
And, another cool thing is that each person even pays the shipping fees which covered my eBay and paypal fees!

I thought for sure it would come to an end now. I thought the Palace would want to add it to all there treasures!

But they graciously had me list it again so that the Arc of Hope may
Continue on with a few more donations!

Blessings to all those that have helped WATCH this auction and to all those that have been a very big support! 

Let's see who the NEXT Batter will be?

Grandma and my Twins SKYDIVING event

JULY 2nd, 2006 ...........

5:00 AM, my 85 year Old Grandmother that I look after fell out of bed.
Poor thing did not seem hurt, I said WHAT HAPPENED? She said" I guess I thought I would try skydiving like the girls." ..
Had to call 911 to get her checked out just incase. Spent most of the day at the emergency room. MEANWHILE, ......... It was my girls 20th Birthday ..
I phoned them as they were getting ready for the BIG SKY DIVING EVENT! ..........   Told them to CALL me the second they were on the ground and OK ..
They would NOT let me go watch because they were going with  a group of friends and did NOT want there video taping MOM following them around I guess .. lol

We made it home from the hospital about 3:00pm. Grandma had nothing broke. THANK GOD! Just sore. My aunt and I agreed we would have to put the bed rail on the side of her bed.
I told her if she was a GOOD GIRL I would make her some pretty bumper pads with pansies on them!  lol

Never heard from my girls. I waited and worried. TRUSTING in the Lord to keep them safe! FINALLY, Lindsey called me at 5:00 PM and she was not sounding too happy. But she assured me her and her sister were
safe and sound on the ground!  Lindsey did not talk very long. She only had enough time to tell me she threw up all the sky! And Laura threw up all over the ground once she landed!

The pilot did a lot of loops in the sky before the jump too! And Laura did lots of spins while falling and did not land on the designated area. NOW, I have to wait for the video!
Lindsey said she will throw her video away .. lol  They both paid for videos to have the event taped!  I hope to make 10 grand off of Lindsey's video! haha
We will see, I MAY sell them on eBay! ((wink,wink))

Tears at the Dollar Store

GOOD MORNING!

EARLY this AM, we had to do a MYSTERY SHOPPER Breakfast!
On our way back I went into the dollar store to get the twins a Birthday card for tomorrow!

While standing in line, this elderly lady was short 20cents on her tab. The guy in front of me, a young fellow, about 25 I am guessing, Hands the cashier a $10.00 bill saying, "HERE, take it out of this."

The cashier was like, ITS ONLY 20 Cents........ He said, "I will pay for all her items"!
Her tab was a bit over 8 bucks! This guy was so sweet, we were all kind of in shock. I had chills run up and down my arms. NO KIDDING. And no clue what or how , but I burst into tears! I felt like an idiot but I had no control! It was the most beautiful thing I have seen in a long time!
THE GIFT OF LOVE!
