i have hundreds of slides sitting in a box next to my desk. so i’m right there with ya!
i think we need to remember (myself included here) that not all people want to be business owners. and most of us think that’s super weird. but some people just want a paycheck. i’ve been there sometimes too. i just want to get paid and then go do my own thing (that didn’t last long though). running a business is tough, stressful and full of responsibility. but as we all know, the rewards are countless. i’m not afraid my helper will outpace me in business. she sees us planning/prepping for that storage building in our backyard. you want to be successful in this business? you have to have major storage. not many people want to deal with that very, important aspect of it. seems simple, but i feel thats a huge part of it.
i think you can sell Nazi related stuff (yes there are collectors of all things, not that these people are Nazis) but not to certain places in Europe, France being one of them.
it looks like it holds medical samples or blood work? could it have had one of those plastic divider things that got lost, to hold blood vials? that’s what it looks like to me.
ah yes, sweat equity. something many of us here are all too familiar with!

you can search the blog through the field up top, right hand corner.
tell him to call ebay and say his item was damaged in the Global Shipping Program. they’ll be responsible for refunding him directly.
you shouldnt get penalized if you ship within your handling time and use the shipping method that the customer chose. i’m not sure why you would have an issue there. i think most customers don’t even look at the shipping choices.
i agree that ebay needs to do a better job with combined shipping. i think we’ve all had trouble making that happen in an organized way for customers. i think i even lost a sale this weekend because my customer didn’t believe me that i would send an invoice with combined shipping after she accepted my offers. so annoying.
i would wrap each one in small strips of tissue paper. then pad a box on the bottom, fill it up (or a few small boxes), pad the top. make sure none of the bulbs are moving around and they are stabilized. then put those boxes in another box, padding out the sides. they should be ok like that. hope the price sold is worth all that packing!
