Read Some Stuff About Me!
(Sept. 2000)

I'm kinda new to all of this and thought I'd share some of my thoughts with you, the curious and bored people of the world. I've been eBaying for a while as a buyer but I've just listed my first auctions today (9-6-00) and actually already have a bid! Ain't technology grand? I'm hoping it's the start of a long run on eBay. What could be more perfect than taking three things I'm crazy about ... photography, computers, and shopping ... and turning it in to a little extra income? I'm not here to get rich, just to clean out my closets and make a few extra bucks. The last thing I want to do is go out and get another part-time job that I hate and have the headache (and cost!) of having to deal with childcare. Call me old-fashioned but I think it's important to be home for your children if it's at all possible. Well! Now that I have that off my chest ... let me tell you what you can expect from

***Retrorave*** Hopefully, you will enjoy looking at and maybe even owning some of the cool stuff I have up for auction. A lot of my items will have a "retro" flair but I'll sell darn near anything that I think might be of interest to you, your mother, your neighbor, etc. So while you're here take a look at my latest auctions ... you just might find that special piece of useless junk you've been looking for! And check back often, oh, hell---go ahead and bookmark it while you're thinking about it because I'll be adding new items weekly. I also hope to update this page with some fancy HTML stuff once I get a little more familiar with it all ... I am SERIOUSLY HTML challenged, but I am also nothing but determined to finally figure it all out. Alright, alright, enough about me! If you're not dozing yet, why don't you take a few minutes to check out my other auctions and my favorite links? Go on! Check out all the links below and entertain yourself for a little while. You'll find some really great music from a NYC band (The Amber Jets), aaaand...

THE HEAVENLY TENANTS

If you like fresh sounds from the indie music scene, this band will ROCK your world!!! Check out their latest by clicking the link above. I predict that their single "Fifteen" will be on the Indie/Alternative music charts in the near future.
You heard it here first, folks!

UPDATE

A great big *smooch* to all of you that have helped me clean out my closets and cabinets in recent months.
Unfortunately, there's been just as much coming in as going out, so there's still plenty of work to be done.
Check back often, as I will continue my efforts to get to the bottom of the seemingly endless pile and offer
fabulous trash and treasures that could someday be taking up space in YOUR house!

USPS RATES/Priority Mail
Cost to ship coast to coast is pretty high, so you might want to check the charts or email me before you bid.
Whenever possible, I'll ship First Class, Parcel Post or Media Mail to save you money.

DANG!!! USPS Rates are going up AGAIN! The new rates take effect on 5-14-07.

Please note: While I wrap all my items with tender loving care and have little doubt that your treasure will arrive safely, insurance *is* required for all fragile items and items $24.99 and over. Like your mother always said ... (smart lady, that mother of yours!), "Trust me - it's for your own good!" FREE Delivery Confirmation on all items!

***Top 10 Reasons Why Ebay/USPS Is Still A Bargain***

Don't let the cost of shipping prevent you from owning that special piece of junk you've always wanted!
All in all, eBay and the shipping costs involved are still a bargain.

Yes, folks it's true and here's why:

1. C'mon - who doesn't love the convenience of shopping from their own home???
   You never have to get your lazy butt up from that computer chair!!!
   Just a few clicks & before you know it, Mr. Priority Mail Guy is at your
   front door with your new treasure! I LOVE the Priority Mail Guy!!!
2. The world is at your fingertips! Let's face it - you'd search far and wide for some of the items
   offered by sellers on eBay and maybe NEVER find that rare/unique/unusual piece of crap at all!
3. No wear and tear on your car or ga$ to buy.
4. No parking hassles ... you know, finally finding a spot, then having the idiot parked next to you
   bang his door into your car, and ... oh yeah, then FINDING your car again!

   Hmmmm ... now WHERE did I park???

5. Never having to brave the elements. Snow, ice, pouring rain, unbearable heat, humidity, etc, etc.
6. No crowds to fight your way through, no endless lines to stand in and
   NO SNOTTY, RUDE SALESCLERKS to deal with! You KNOW the kind I mean!
7. FAST DELIVERY! Most Priority Mail packages are delivered in 2-3 days!!!
8. Let's not forget your time! You know what they say---time is money!
9. I am the nicest person you could ever want to deal with! HONEST!
10. Best of all - eBay is open 24 HRS. a day!!!

I hope you consider these factors when deciding whether or not to bid on that very special
piece of someone else's junk. Most of all---just HAVE SOME FUN, gosh darnit!
Turn on some tunes ... dance in your living room! Hug your kids!
Life is short, so do whatever you (legally) can to enjoy it!

Am I having a mid-life crisis, OR WHAT?!?
