I Discover eBay

Not so long ago

• I was afraid of auctions
• I was afraid the sellers would take my money and run
• I was afraid to bid
• I was afraid of eBay

Then a friend coached me

Texaco Aviation Fuel Clock

• She bought lots of cool stuff on eBay
• She shared the cool stuff with me
• She sold stuff, too, and made a bit of money
• She bought stuff and returned it
• She bought stuff cheap and shipping was reasonable
• Many sellers ship to Canada
• I could get silver chains from China for four dollars
• I could get stuff on eBay I couldn't get here in stores
• I bought a blue ukelele
• I bought a gold harmonica 
• I bought red and plaid sneakers
• And a Texaco clock
• Wow
  
  

  This is the month of April showers

  You know what I mean, baby showers, wedding showers, bachelor showers, divorce showers, and house warming showers.
  
  

  So I go to eBay

  • Here's some stuff I found for less than $50 US, many with free shipping to US. Some of them have limited quantities left:

  • I can't vouch for the safety or entertainment/play/usefulness value of any of these items as I haven't personally researched them extensively other than finding what seem like good ideas at a bargain price.
  • But it will give you an idea that you can find deals on-line for those hard-to-buy-for people you know, and still not break the bank when the bank is so fragile and empty nowadays.
    
  • I'd love to know how you fared when faced with the April showers on eBay.
  • I shop smart most of the time. Not all of the time, just most of the time.
  
  

  Have fun and shop smart! Remember, if you get burned, eBay stands behind their products. You pay with PayPal. I haven't had any problems.
