Re: New Stuff is up on eBay !!!

No , the reserve is never disclosed. I am glad you lke it. Rainbow

I appreciate your input, i really do, but this is the way we are doing it. Our goal, just like the last lot we sold like this is to attract a shop owner, whch we did, without showing every last pic. The other lot sold for more than twice what this is. Funny about the reserve price thing .... I buy ALOT of stuff off ebay and it never turns me off. I know other people who buy also and this doesn't put them off. The link to our site doesn't show other stuff for sale. All of the other stuff is SOLD out forever. The shop that bought it is graciously allowing us to show it forever, That was part of the deal. Thas for your comments ... Rainbow

Okay - then I wish you lots of luck and hope that you get a lot of money for all that gorgeous work!

I've seen reserves stated too.

Is there a reason why you didn't just start the bidding at the lowest price you personally could accept? You started at $399 with a reserve, but if you would accept, say $450, couldn't you just start it there? Anyway - I do hope you get some bids. You might have even more quesries and more bids if you didn't have the reserve. This is just experience talking - not trying to put down the way you're doing things.

Well, if we get anymore inquiries we'll be up all night talking to people. My sister and myself have been answering inquiries all damn day. We buy a lot of stuff on ebay, but have sold relatively little, so we are totally amateur in that regard ... we did however adapt an ad from an auction we saw some time back. We based our ad on that. We thought this other ad looked nice and read well and we used that as a mock up. This particular seller is a long time ebayer. We looked at her feedback and such and figured she knew what she was up to. Funny though, we didn't like her jewelry ! We are not very likely to sell much thru ebay after this as we will not have anything salable, although my sister does sell some other things, they are few and far between. Any jewelry I am making right now is earmared for elsewhere. At my retail prices, my stuff, sold singly, woud not move very fast on ebay. I do admit we opened ourselves to a very much wider audience than what we had directly here in town, but the average ebayer is mostly looking for a deal n in normal times, I would never give away my stuff like this. This was a one time thing on the jewelry and it had to be quick. Rainbow

It certainly is a shame you have to sell them at such a low price. They are great.

Rainbow -- I have sold lots of stuff for whatever it went for, many times over the years. And was damn grateful to get the money. I know exactly how you feel. Just hang in there.

We've been talking to her alot and we are actually helping her new business and so it is a positive thing to us both. I'm ecstatic ! Rainbow

This is a very freeing attitude with which to face difficult, painful times. I wish you well on whatever comes after this. It may be small consolation at the moment, but I can say that in retrospect, facing my disasters and letting them go ... ushered in periods of accelerated growth in my life. Not doing that simply prolonged the misery. Remembering that makes me less likely to stick my head in the sand these days, and more likely to start learning from the things that go badly ... early in the process instead of late.
