Archive - June 2007 eBay Live GALA Final Day Boston 2007Posted Jun-30-07 18:52:27 PDT June 16th
2007 The last day of eBay Live.  Boston is a BIG BIG City! And as a "Country Mouse" Like myself, I did get lost at least ONCE every day!  This Tunnel Collected a LOT of my money ::  I did spend a total of $60.00 just in parking! BUT, it was all well worth the Magnificent Adventure! This was my 1st year to be able to get away and "splurge" I treated myself for this trip and I had a BLAST!  I had met Cindy on my 1st day and I soon enjoyed seeing her Smiling Face whenever I would run into her! This last day I realized I needed a photo with her! And NOW, She even has a MySpace page, SO, stop by and BE HER FRIEND, she needs friends! ((winks)) http://www.myspace.com/cindyshebley She has some GREAT EbAY Live Photos to share too! I worked the Education Specialist booth from 9:00 AM till Noon. So, Unfortunately I missed the Town Hall Meeting :-( BUT, I did get a few people to become Education Specialists and join the program! SO, that was very rewarding! I am a proud Education Specialist!!!  This gal I met at my "MySpace" Round Table event the day before! And on this day, she came by the booth to JOIN the Program! If you are reading this my friend CONTACT ME!!!  Here we have two fellow eBayers! Carl and Greg! Carl runs a Group I belong to: North West Florida, the Panhandle I am a moderator for this group and we need MORE members! SO, if you are an eBayer and FROM this area of Florida, PLEASE join us for some local meetings and selling strategies!!!  THEN,
I finally ran into Janelle Elms! I do podcasts with her once a month and it has been a ton of fun! Was a pleasure to meet her face to face at last!!!!  I am Griff and eBetsy's #1 Fan!! I even got to do a little Radio Segment on eBay Radio! And will have some segments on YOU TUBE very soon! If you are an eBayer and you have not checked in OR joined the eBay Radio Group, HURRY HURRY as we are on a mission to get 20 Thousand Members by the NEXT eBay live! http://groups.ebay.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1278  I bought an eBay Snow Globe AND had it signed by the designer: Michael O.Smith! SORRY FOLKS, I'm not selling it either! I am treasuring it!  While waiting in line to enter the Grand Ballroom where the Gala Was being held, the wait went by VERY fast because eBay kept us entertained! Clowns were roaming the lines doing card tricks, passing out Free Drinks (non-alcoholic), Free Mentos, Ebay Tattoos and there were even Clown Photographers! They each had instant cameras and would come up and take your photo! It was so cool AND made the time pass by! (Disney should learn something from this to help with the lines) ANYHOW, I happen to be in line behind this couple, and suddenly she said OMG, I bought an eBook from you!!! haha, How cool was that!!! Here I am in a photo with her and her husband!  She even called me on the phone once and I remember her having a VERY COOL eBay Store! NOW, I need her to contact me again so I can add a link to this page!!! **waves** to you wherever you are!  Some complained about the food BUT I thought it was great! The Mini Boston Cream Pie was to DIE FOR! :-) .... and, just Walking into the Gala was AMAZING! The eBay Staff was lined up on both sides of the walkway! Even Meg and Griff were in the line-up! They cheered all of us as we entered the room! It was beyond anything I can describe! Another day I felt VERY PROUD to be an eBay Seller!!  eBetsy and her Hubby were SO CREATIVE! Fun and Silly! HAVING A BLAST!!! Being a part of the Carnival Theme!  AND, This was the night I FINALLY got my photo with Meg Whitman:  Thanks to my eBay Friend: PartyVegtable:  Ask him to be a Friend and Take a look at his Awesome photos from eBay Live: http://www.myspace.com/partyvegetable BOTTOM LINE:: I had a Blast! It was a memorable event to add to my life! I met so many wonderful eBay Staff members and fellow ebay sellers/buyers! I did video tape and will be soon adding those as well! For NOW, I AM BROKE!!!!!!!! But hey, as my Daddy would say "It's Only Money and there is MORE to be made tomorrow'! So, visit my eBay store and help out this eBay Junkie! ((smiles))  my 3rd Day in Boston EBAY LIVE 2007Posted Jun-21-07 22:50:59 PDT WOW, my 3rd Day was another fantastic Day in eBay
Land! I even ran into a fellow MySpace Friend in the PowerSeller Lounge: http://www.myspace.com/sportyourteam Ask her to be your friend too! She's such a sweety with some AWESOME Sports gear!!!  I tried hard this day to get a photo with Meg but had no luck. I did get a few photos of her:   I stopped by eBay Radio and Griff was out to lunch so they had a Cardboard photo of him!!! Too funny!  I did get a Caricature drawing done of myself by this talented man:  I created a Round Table Discussion Group to talk about MySpace and people signed up! I was the only one with a "Filled" sticker across the board! How Cool is that?? lol  eBetsey had her PARTY HAT on ::  I found Paul Revere AND I went to Lunch with my friend from Joliet Illinois "AuctionWonderland" 
That's all the photos I have from this day! I ended the day early to spend with my Cousins!!! STAY TUNED FOR THE FINAL PHOTOS from THE GALA EVENT!!! Day 2 of My eBay Live Adventure!!Posted Jun-20-07 17:42:54 PDT My 2nd Day in Boston was the Opening Day of eBay
Live! It was so awesome to just walk into the building! I started my day attending a "Group" Meeting! Learning about the NEW format that is developing for the eBay Community of "Groups". Garnor Morantes was the speaker. His team manages the Group Technology Platform.  I found this to be very informative and enjoyable! After that was over, I had to go find eBay Radio and they were LIVE, on the Air!  Lee & Griff were interviewing Lynn Dralle the Queen of Auctions! I did get a photo with Chris Murch: On Site Coordinator!  I spent the day checking out the floor and all the booths! I took a class provided by the USPS about International Shipping. They had a set of pins and I managed to get a set! I've decided to sell mine as a Charity Auction! Check my Charity Auction Listings The KEY Notes event was Awesome!
