I kind of enjoy the eccentrics on eBay, actually. Rec'd an item today. Not what I bid on. Goddamnit. I hate hassle!

Has anyone else ever gone to look at an item and been treated to pages and pages of diatribe? I was looking at a Barbie yesterday (shut up), and the seller went on, chapter and verse, about how much she looooves her Barbies, but she has to sell them because her evil ex took off with "his own Barbie" (read: younger, bustier, blonder babe), and now she needs a tummy tuck. Then there was something about how much she loooooves her Barbies and only wants them to go to good homes, ad nauseum. The same thing happened to my boyfriend--he was looking up knives for his chef job. Same thing; pages and pages about how the seller's parents died, and their liquidating the estate because of debts, blah blah blah. Neither of us put in bids on those items, needless to say. I'm kind of an Ebay virgin, so really, WTF? just list the item. I don't need to know THAT MUCH about you, sellers. If you do it well, you can become a minor internet sensation and get more traffic to your item, thereby increasing your chance of a good return on your investment. If you do it badly (the two examples you cite), you just piss people off, thereby decreasing your chances of big money.

Yeah, like that dude that was selling a possessed Stitch doll a few years ago. That was weird.

I have something up for sale.
Someone asked me if there was any interest in my item.
Why would they think I would discuss it with them. Weird question.

*weeps* I got outbid overnight and now bidding's over! And I was the only person bidding for days! To add insult to injury, not only did I get outbid, the person who did it came in within the last minute to make their bid. That's common, I know, but I had my heart so set on that item.

That's funny, spordelia. I wonder who the bidders are.

I sell cotton every fall on Ebay (just plain 'ol cotton out of the field). This was my first full day listing it and I sold five orders - some just for 25 bolls (the lowest amount I sell) and one order for 10 whole plants (an artist in NY). Exciting!!
