Atomic Star hasn’t posted, but it’s Tuesday already, so she’ll be updated next week
Well done, ChristineR. You’re almost double my score!
08/21/2018 at 6:46 pm in reply to: Trash Elf Twins Challenge 2018 Thread #3 From Week 31 August #47824Thanks Vintage Treasures, I did remain accident free. Probably because I couldn’t do much! 😀
Only listed one. Working with my left hand was beyond frustrating and they don’t make left handed cameras! Gaaaah! Gave up and worked on non-eBay related stuff instead. The splint came off this week, so I’m hoping to do some more listings, but my knuckle is still swollen and tender, so I’m taking it easy.
ChristineR, I’m working on fabric and linens. I have an awesome vintage knitted afghan that looks crocheted. It’s gorgeous! Any tips on listing? I’ve got to clear a huge box of linens and figured this is the time of year to get it down. Glad to see my hunch is right.
Dang, Vintage Lacy, I want to shadow you and just bask in the joy that’s your life! LOL
I’d be interested.
Curious to know what you’d like as barter…. 😉

As Sharyn said – nice haul!
If you search for similar on Worthpoint and provide the link, I can give you the pricing
Does it have ACME Corporation on the bottom? 😀

08/15/2018 at 1:50 pm in reply to: Trash Elf Twins Challenge 2018 Thread #3 From Week 31 August #47521Sorry for the late post, folks. It’s a major PITA working with only one hand.
08/13/2018 at 6:36 pm in reply to: Trash Elf Twins Challenge 2018 Thread #3 From Week 31 August #47427Hi Vintage Treasures, you’re very welcome. There’s no way for me to advise folks, so I’m careful not to leave anyone behind! 😉
Listed only 5 this week, and I was planning to do more, but obviously my bad luck didn’t end last week. I crushed my knuckles in a freak accident and have been one handed since. Of course, it’s my right hand, same hand as got stung last week. Typing left handed takes forever… Sigh… But, on the positive side, I have learned that an espresso machine under pressure holds about the same amount of force as an airbag! Awesome tidbit, if I ever need it for a trivia question! 😀
08/07/2018 at 11:13 am in reply to: Trash Elf Twins Challenge 2018 Thread #3 From Week 31 August #47021Welcome, Atomic Star! So good to have you here. I’ve added you to the Triplets for now until we get a trend for your listing habits, then I’ll split the quads back into Twins.
Folks, you’re very welcome to laugh at my troubles. I do. Ain’t nothin’ gonna get me down!
ChristineR – I asked about FB. I’ve had a lot of flakes too, so basically gave up on it apart from the odd large item, but a fellow Group member posts weekly with tons of stuff. I bought something from her and she said she quit her day job to sell on FB. Her stuff looks like junk yard pickings, though, so I don’t really want to follow her lead.
Nice of you to help, Sharyn. I didn’t know you could create your own sales on Maxsold. When you have time, I reckon we’d love to hear more about how that works!
Vintage Lacy, you have my dream life! Lots of travel, and a business you can run on the road. I reckon you should also do an article about how you manage it!
Hmmm… perhaps I should start a TETC spin off called “Interviews with Elves” and write you guys up! 😀
Vintage Treasures, I got you girl! You’re included in the schedule, I found you on the last thread. Looking forward to hearing some feedback from the Open from you.
08/06/2018 at 10:54 am in reply to: Trash Elf Twins Challenge 2018 Thread #3 From Week 31 August #46915It’s a zero for me again this week. One of the most WTF? weeks this year! Lots of minor issues, but my major ones formed a Trouble Trifecta:
– a dog got into a tussle with our neighborhood coyote pack. Fortunately, guns have not yet been outlawed and any country dweller will tell you the first rule of any fight is to bring the biggest gun. 2nd rule is to bring more than one, in case your primary jams – which mine did. All living critters were unharmed in the making of this whackumentary, but the gun is going to get stripped and oiled.
– the same dog decided it would be a grand idea to eat a porcupine. I spent 4 hours pulling quills out of her mouth, embedded all the way to the back of her palate, under her tongue, around her teeth, and all around the outside of her jaw. I’m alone at home at the moment, so it was a wrestling match worthy of WWF. The next day my neighbors came around to help get the last few ones, and it took 3 of us to hold her. She is now on antibiotics and painkillers and appears perfectly happy.
– and I got stung by something on the tip of my finger of my right hand (yes, I’m right handed) and the swelling was so bad, my hand was a club for a couple days.
Life on a Texas ranch – never short of shits and giggles!
My neighbor thought my bad luck this week was so funny, she made me a t-shirt. It is SO apt! 😀
Before you think she’s being nasty, this same neighbor sat with me for an hour and a half in the middle of the night when I got stung to ensure I didn’t go into anaphylaxis. She just has an awesome sense of humor!
Thanks, pythonesk. That was my idea – a deterrent, more than a way of combating it.
Can I have wine on my ice cream?

07/31/2018 at 6:32 pm in reply to: Item Specifics 101: How to customize specifics for unique items? #46545From my experience, adding stuff into IS reduces stupid questions and is worth the extra time. I now don’t even put measurements into my descriptions, only into IS, and I’ll add a field with specific measurements if the generic field is generic. E.g. Rise = Low then I’ll add in a specific called Rise Measurement. I’ll put in dimensions of hard goods, composition of metals, anything that can add to a hook to trigger a sale. Seems to work.
What would be the net loss if you just accept the return and then sell the watch again? If the customer actually has done repairs, as claimed, s/he’ll be out $30 and you’ll have a repaired watch to sell. Perhaps I’m missing something here, but a return is definitely not what the customer wants, IMHO. But they’ve opened a return, not a negotiation. Accept the return, no argument, no discussion. If the customer returns, sell it again. If the buyer doesn’t return it, as I suspect they won’t, close the case.
To me, this one is a case of “Don’t sweat the petty stuff and don’t pet the sweaty stuff!”
