Make This a Chapter in My Book...

Growing up, everytime I had a good, philosphical thought, I'd shout "Make this a chapter in my book!" Well, it certainly is not a book, but it's close enough.

I've decided to document via blog all the random concepts I've come up with over the years. Having turned 21 not more than two weeks ago, I'm pretty much ready to take on the world - blog style. I really tried to fit in to the "my boyfriend dumped me, and I got a great deal on this plus I just sewed an entire wardrobe" world of blogging, but that didn't go over too well.

These posts are loaded with random (sometimes useless) facts that you can hopefully gather inspiration from! ...or atleast, a conversation starter or two. Give it a read, so that you won't be tempted to judge the "proverbial" book by its cover... or in this case, the "proverbial" blog by its URL.

Chapter 12: The Almighty Ebay

I'm addticted to Ebay. There, I said it. The first step to healing is admitting you have a problem, right? Baby steps... baby steee.... WHO AM I KIDDING?! Ebay is a freaking gold mine! Don't believe me?

Exibit A-Z:

Sold:
  • I had this collection of old/new coach purses that I for sure wasn't going to use. Small purses just don't have enough room to accomodate all the randomness I keep in my bag. (Which begs the question... what do i keep in my bag?!). SO, I started auctioning them off on ebay. This is just a ball-parked estimate, but 7 purses later and I'm pretty sure I pulled in around $500! FOR STUFF I WASN'T GOING TO USE!

Bought:

  • I recently purchased a 350Z silverstone with rare OEM chrome rims... (I bought the actual car from cars.com) Not only a weird color, but also weird rims. Anyways, I have this fetish of buying little versions of my cars, so I set off to find a mini Z to put on my office desk. EBAY to the RESCUE. And, not more than a foot from where I sit now, lies the exact replica of my Z, chrome rims and all... for a mere $18 bucks.

Sold:

  • I've recently gotten swept up into the smart phone craze... so I convinced myself my life would no longer be complete without a blackberry. I had the LG Dare which had zero scratches on it (I'm a protector of all things electronic) so i threw that bad boy up on ebay. Total sales? $280 BUCKS! Which made me brake even for the purchase of my new BB Tour. And yeah, I'm cool now.

Bought:

  • I've never told my ex-boyfriend this... but here goes. He bought be a really pricey $300 bulova watch (it was NOT cute... FML) so I figured I should return the favor. NOW, before i go off sounding like a cheap tight-wad, I usually paid for most dates since I was the only one with an actual job :P... So i wasn't about to spend another $300 bucks on a freaking watch! Where to turn?! EBAY... and i'll swear it's authentic... but an Emporio Armani Watch for $80 bucks?! Ok, so maybe it isn't authentic, but the Ex never figured that out ;) (PS... i'm planning to auction off that ugly watch he bought me too! whahaha)

I've actually bought/sold a ton on ebay! And just today, I've listed two more coach purses! I'll update you all in 7 days from now when the auction ends.... It's a GREAT IDEA for some extra christmas money!

Ebayers UNITE!

  • Why?
      Why you ask? Not sure. I've always wanted to write down the randomness I think of, and even more so I would love to see who agrees with me and the other alternatives to my ideas.
  • Because?
      Because you ask? Because I want to know what YOU think! Do you agree? Can you relate? Am I totally off the deep-end? Please, feel free to post your comments and opinions; and, who knows, maybe I'll feature them in the next blog post!
