@christmas you gotta chalk up!! holiday season is everything on ebay! sellers make as much these three months than the rest of the year.

@christmas you remind me of the guy i bought my rolex from (had a great holiday season selling the bags/hats/shoes and spoiled myself). found a watch guy on ebay, decided to deal direct on escrow.com. he sold me a great watch, i still wear it. pre-owned (his name was on the title) but unworn (all tags/stickers). msrp today is 12k, i got it for less than half that.

not sure how he got his stuff, i never asked. i’m guessing he went to switzerland and picked them up himself.

@bobbybore when ebay began, it was like a comics/collectibles show, where everyone was both a buyer and seller. now it’s more like a shopping center where there are established sellers and most others are shoppers.

i love ebay though, made some decent cash that one year i was a seller (sold bags/purses, hats, shoes). and have found some serious treasures as a buyer.

@bobbybore sellers can only leave positive feedback now?.. that’s not fair. if it was like that both ways then in time, everyone would have 100% high feedback.

many moons ago (2003-2004) i was an ebay seller. back then some people just mailed cash or money orders. it was a different marketplace. but paypal usually favored the buyer (i won at least once or twice as a seller).

now i’m just a buyer on ebay. ebay was my first business, i guess i have a soft spot for garage operations. kinda my way of giving back.
