I so don’t understand Ebay. It is inconceivable to me what people will pay for my junk. Don’t get me wrong, I love it. I just don’t understand it.
In the last week or so, Kevin has sold over $150 bucks of junk online. Take, for example, our current auction item. A can opener. Yup, you heard me. It’s an automatic can opener. We have never used it but figured we’d give it a shot on Ebay. How much do you think it’s going for? $5? $10? $15? Nope. Right now, it’s sitting at $24.50. Don’t believe me, see for yourself. I admit that Kevin does a nice layout and our secret weapon is the Free Shipping but still. It’s a can opener for pete’s sake..
If that doesn’t outrage you, what about this. Kevin and Josh went to Best Buy two years ago and picked up a fighter pilot computer game from the close-out bin. They each paid $10 for the game. Kevin gets tired of it, sticks it on Ebay, and it sells for $37. Yes, you heard me, two years later a $10 game is selling for $37 bucks. At this rate, we’ll be able to pay off the house in..... hmmm, maybe not.
But if you haven’t jumped on the ebay wagon, I urge you to do so. People are auction crazy and will buy anything. I don’t know how long this craze will last so you better get out there are start selling. You won’t regret it.
