What a score!!!  An aunt recently had to move.  I guess she liked QVC.  Anywho, she gave my parents dozens of these Nick-Nacks.  Mostly Teddy Bears (brick-a-brack not real teadies).  My parents had no room for them and gave them to me, knowing I was looking for stuff to sell on eBay.

My problem is, I know NOTHING about collectible, porcelain like Teddy Bears (I collect turtles and Lara Croft Games).  I am not up to doing the research they probably deserve.  Fortunately a lot of people sell this kind of stuff here, so I can look at about what the going prices are.

Kinda cool say what.  Whadauallthink?

What ya gonna do?!?  I am trying to figure out what I am gonna do.  It is one thing if something doesn't sell at all, but I find it more depressing when something sells well for a while then stalls.  What do you do?  Just keep relisting, give it a break (for how long?), just give up all together?

The last one I don't think is good.  I tend toward continued relistings but I don't know if that is the best option money wise.  I mean I am not a BIG seller.  For me eBay is my online yard sale.  Though maybe I should start taking a look at all the other options available,(there are a lot of neat ones) but I don't want my listing price to cut deep into my hoped for profits.

Wadda useguys tink?

Post Scriptum:  Just a continuing comment (from my last entry( on the HTML automated coding used by eBay here in the blogs.  I like the way they handled my colored Signature tag.  They used a “Style” attribute with “color:rgb(nnn,nnn,nnn)”.  Good going guys, maybe I will have to admit that you know what you are doing (maybe, sometime in the future).  ;-)

Hey y'all this is my first blog entry, cool eh.  Ok, the stuff: I am MrTerapin, also known as Mr. Albert William Demello, III (DOB: 09/25/1964), I  live in Brookline NH {Hello New Hampshire!!!}.  I am disabled with MS (Multiple Sclerosis).  Disabled is a weird label.  I am certainly able to do a lot, and I know many, so called, disabled people who would seem to be in more dire straights than myself, and they overcome.  I hope to grow up to be like these people.  I am unable to work a "regular" job, but I am trying to freelance program from home, and make some extra $$$ here on eBay.  Course it would help if I didn't spend so much here on eBay, there is some COOL stuff here.  I have to work on that.

It is currently beautiful here in Brookline, but it was not last night.  Weather changes create havoc for me.  It doesn't seem to matter if the weather is getting better or worse, it that it is changing.  Once it stabilizes I is fine. I am fine now, how are you?

I do web work, I love coding HTML {(X)HTML}by hand, yup no sissy WYSIWYG for me, no siree.  I saved a draft of this blog
and check eBay's default coding and it is truly awful.  I like standards, and the W3C's standards for (X)HTML are simply not difficult, I will have to see what I can do. I like to put those little Tags at the bottom of my web pages that say "This page conforms to STRICKED...".  Course I can't do that here in the eBay blog page, and some of their stuff is automated, but they could do better if they really wanted to. I won't mess with it today.  Well maybe I will. Ok, I did, and MAN it is not pretty, but it is their rules, so I will keep playing and see what I can do without breakin' the rules.

I have two children, both of them have Dentist appointments today. The youngest (Albert #4) has a problem with one of his front teeth. My daughter is having a “crowding” problem and is having six(6) teeth extracted, no fun.

So there we go my first entry, maybe not the best, but it is my first, and I bet they get better. Have a good day.

May God Bless and Keep You Always.
