It is inconceivable to me what people will pay for my junk. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I love it. I just don\u2019t understand it.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s an automatic can opener. We have never used it but figured we\u2019d give it a shot on Ebay. How much do you think it\u2019s going for? $5? $10? $15? Nope. Right now, it\u2019s sitting at $24.50. Don\u2019t believe me, see for yourself. I admit that Kevin does a nice layout and our secret weapon is the Free Shipping but still. It\u2019s a can opener for pete\u2019s sake..<\/p>\n<p>If that doesn\u2019t 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\u2019ll be able to pay off the house in&#8230;.. hmmm, maybe not.<\/p>\n<p>But if you haven\u2019t jumped on the ebay wagon, I urge you to do so. People are auction crazy and will buy anything. I don\u2019t know how long this craze will last so you better get out there are start selling. You won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I so don\u2019t understand Ebay. It is inconceivable to me what people will pay for my junk.
