Help a girl out: 11 pendants on eBay going cheap!!

One of my early attempts at selling my pendants online is bombing. :-(

As I had some various things lying around, I thought it would help clean up quickly if I posted them all together. So I have eleven dichro pendants in the auction, and the price is a measly buck right now. I thougth it would be fair to set the starting price low, but now I'm in tears, this is embarassing.

I had all intention of giving someone a deal, but goodness. Someone help me out here!! Check out the auction, it ends in just a few hours.

What the heck is up lately with (a very small number of) people being so freaking rude??? Turn the AC down a notch or something, it's like heat rash is going around or something!

The time on the two posts is identical, it's not likely she intended to post twice. NOT everyone in this group MAKES beads, everyone loves them, collects them, oggles them... but this is not by any means solely a beadmakers group.

Amy, please put "AD" in your subject line, but otherwise you are welcome to post your work here.

Jeez louise. Alison

Not me.

They are beautiful Amy! I also am not a bead maker and wish I had seen them earlier for I would've happily bid on those lovely pendants and I'm sorry I didn't get your post until today.

Don't be embarrassed! You just never know with eBay buyers - it doesn't reflect upon your skills or talent but possibly your timing or description didn't catch the right eye. Keep at it and maybe post an ad earlier next time.

Crap -- I am so sorry I missed out on this one!!! Could you please come and post here next time when you do this again, so I don't miss it? I would have loved to have owned those.

And ignore the naysayers. Some people just have too much time on their hands. I was happy to see your post and sad that i missed the auction.

who are all these people?m

That depends on what you mean by "this group." The original post, and all of the followups so far, were crossposted to two groups. The statement you're disagreeing with might not be true of rec.crafts.beads, but it probably is true or close to true for rec.crafts.glass.

(followups set to r.c.g.)

Crossposted from rec.crafts.beads

The ad was crossposted to two groups - some people are from rec.crafts.beads and some are from rec.crafts.glass.

Aaaaaaaaaahhhh... sorry! Cross-posting - ick!

Alis>> NOT everyone in this group MAKES beads, everyone loves them, collects >> them,

Scratch was probably reading on rec.crafts.glass where many, but certainly not all, can and do make them.

Some customers do browse related newsgroups in the hopes of finding artisans to buy from, so advertising in NGs related to your work is not a useless idea in general.

This group is supposed to be for discussion. It would be easily swamped if many tried to use it to sell thinkgs like this. I just went on Ebay and searched "glass pendant." 6,353 items were listed. And there are many other listings under glass. Most of us who are interested in discussions work in glass and are unlikely to want to buy items like this. Few would want to scroll through dozens or more of for sale messages each day. And we can go on Ebay if we want to shop. Good or bad, Ebay is where this belongs.

Then set your replies to ONLY be in r.c.g and you won't get any more discussion about the topic. As long as you insist on responding to two groups you will get the replies from two groups.
