I think this is only going on through Sunday. The onlince code is GAPSALE25, I haven't been to a store but they should give you the discount at the register without any coupons or anything. Only good on sale items...too bad everything I wanted for the girls is still full price...

Hi: My name is Simona, mom of two girls (2 and 5), a senior economist during the day and ebay seller 24/7!

Welcome to my new blog! I've never done this before, but it can't be that hard, right, every 16 year old seems to be doing it...Then again, they know how to operate all those electronic devices, too:)

We just came back from vacation in Florida, and it's not easy to go back to the working day routines. But the good thing is I really had a great time. Last year, our youngest daughter was too small to enjoy Disney, thus I had to spend most of the time catering to her rather than enjoying the rides myself. This year she was great, weather was better (overcast and not nearly as hot), and the crowds were smaller. We saw Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Epcot. Then we drove to Hollywood for my husband's company's annual convention there, and enjoyed our stay at the Westin Diplomat for a few days. Beautiful hotel, ocean view, etc...Well, it was nice while it lasted, now it's back to work/ebay schedule.

Speaking of ebay, I have noticed it myself and heard from many other sellers also, sales are weaker than last year. I guess it's the economy (I sure hope it's not just me)...And this brings me to my first question to you, ebay shoppers: have you scaled back on your ebay shopping over the past year? If so, is it because of tighter budgets, or have you just started shopping somewhere else (other sites, I mean). I do shop on ebay as well, but I, too have not purchased nearly as much over the past six months. My main reasons is that I've discovered a few new brands for my girls and I have bought directly from there, rather than on ebay...
