To both debitendcredits and Ryanne, your ceramic items look like Asian bowls.

Chinese tea cups are tiny, usually less than 2″, holding about 2 sips of tea. It’s gongfu cha, or the art of drinking tea, where you savor each mouthful.
Rice bowls and soup bowls fit into the palm of your hand, and are usually wide mouthed. Chinese tea cups are also usually wider than Japanese tea cups, which are more often straight sided.
Egg cups are usually footed, with a tapered bowl.

If you have your egg hard boiled, you have little servings of salt and pepper, season your egg, and then eat it with a spoon, adding seasoning as you work your way down. A lot of folks prefer their eggs soft boiled and served with “soldiers”, slices of toast cut into thin fingers that can be dipped into the egg. Soldier eaters don’t always season the eggs first. But it’s all according to taste, of course.
Growing up we had egg cups and egg warmers, tiny little “beanies” that were popped onto the eggs in their cups to keep the eggs warm until everyone could get to the table.
Spreadsheet updated. Winner this week: Libby.
I guess we lost Sam.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. It’s not an eBay seller, they sell weapons on a private website. Awesome, awe-inspiring weapons that are stunning works of art, in a range of categories from Medieval to Dance, from battle ready to unsharpened. I was browsing balanced scimitars and clicked through to read their shipping policies. They’re a well known vendor in the weapons category and their stuff is fabulous, but they’ve obviously been hit by the eBay mentality generation.
LOL. Well, I’m glad you’re feeling motivated by the group, that’s what we’re for. The rest of us just need to invest in some eye drops to handle all the dust you’re leaving us in! 😀
Libby, what the heck are you doing on a listing challenge thread? You’re not challenged at all! Dang! Now the rest of us… we’re all feeling not only challenged but TOASTED! 😀 Well done you!
I managed 3 listings this week although I did nearly 2 dozen photographs. Getting the photos edited and items packed, weighed, and numbered didn’t work out for last week’s listings. Should have a good week this week.
Am I dumb enough to say Challenge Accepted to Libby? Hmmmm….. nah. Crazy, yes. Insane, not yet! LOL
Do you think they will go back to PayPal? I was under the impression that PP is being phased out permanently. I’ll be glad if it does come back. I prefer PayPal as a payment option.
We have a tie this week, so Libby and Sharyn both got a point. And now we have a tie for leader too! 😀
Hey Libby, don’t stress. I always add people back in, no trouble at all. Glad you made it back! 🙂
To my surprise, my magnets from last week have been selling quite steadily. Who knew? But I’m not going to rush out and find more. The profit almost isn’t, so it’s really not worth my time. I was getting rid of a set off my own fridge, so it was just a case of throw ’em up.
The man came home – yay – with a case of flu – boo! – but he got over it quickly – yay! – by passing it on to me. &*T^:%$U^Y(*&(UYHO*E$&W%!!!!!!! Mine developed into a secondary infection again, needing antibiotics again. Grrrr…. But I’m feeling much better now. If you’re wondering why I don’t just get the flu vaccine, I’m allergic. Much to the surprise of all the doctors, because I’m not allergic to anything that they usually list as allergens (eggs, etc.) However, it nearly killed me when we discovered my system doesn’t like it, and the docs reckon, based on the severity of my reaction, that I might not make it to the emergency room if I try it again.
Ladies, have you ever just casually thrown out an idea to the hubs and then been horrified when he ran with it? I mean, I had a To Do list all planned out for my weekend, but just happened to mention to Himself that we really need to make an effort to get out once in a while. I get to go to dance class once a week, but he can spend a month without even leaving the ranch. There was no way I could say “but I didn’t mean THIS weekend!” after I was the one who brought it up! So I had a fun-filled weekend out and about (he even took me to two garage sales AND a Trade Days show!) instead of listing when I finally felt well enough to do so. Thus, not only do I have MORE stuff to add to my Death Piles, I have zero listings for the week.
And why the heck am I complaining about having an awesome husband? *looks askance at flu meds…*
@SilverFoxFinds Interesting that you haven’t taken the next step to renting a storage unit. I’m in awe of your self-control keeping it all contained in such a small space! Respect!
Listing every day, even if it’s just one item, definitely is the goal, but at the moment, I’m not even making it listing one item a week!
