Racking My Brain Need Help

Monday, January 30th, 2012

Racking my brain does not help. I am trying to find ways to make my selling on eBay work. I can use all the help I can get. I am trying to sell shot glasses on line. I had tried selling one at a time. That did not work. Last week I put on in groups. Put 11 groups and sold two for less than they were worth. I have over 900 to sell I am wondering if I should just put out a mystery box out there and aution it off as how many are in the box of different kinds.  I need to make some room in my house.

I gave up my farm on zynga. I have not given up on facebook as this is how I keep up with family that is far away and some that are closer I just don’t see as often.

Have been practicing a little of the Merical on 34th street  sent customers to my compation this weekend if I did not have the books they wanted .. It worked pretty well so far she is sending them to me also.

Hope your week is great Think Happy thoughts and give me some idea’s…

Only 9 days left for hubby or someone to find my B B MA  gave him till my birthday. I know this is not going to work… But I can rib him about it. I would love to have a Cocker Spaniel Black,White and Brown

Below you can see our neice Julies house after the tornado in Biringham last week.. She was home and she is ok but as you can see the house is not.

eBay SHOTS

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

Thursday been busy finishing up a book. Which is dumb now I have to start a different one as I one I want to start I ordered yesterday so it will be Monday before I get it..

I have been putting my Shot Glasses on eBay this week and mailed a set out yesterday. I have been doing them in lots … Trying to clean my room out a little.  I have PostCards  on there also.

Got a bill from Florida for taxes.. I almost died… as I had already paid it.. So went to my local office here in town and found out it was a mistake.. I am so glad..

We have been internet shopping this week for a dog.. We want to see what is around before we go traveling very far.. I want a young black, white and tan cocker spaniel.  I have a name but they come with names already.. So I am going to name my stuffed dog B B MA . I love that name. I want this dog as a birthday present but looks like it might not happen. My husband has been looking real hard. There are 12 days left so someone better help him… LOL

I went book shopping this week at our local library. Found some that I needed for my store. I also got a book list for author Barbara Delinsky and marked all the books off that I have in my store have a customer who just started reading her. I just started reading Kaki Warner and Sara Luck.

Take care and have a great weekend.

Wednesday and more Shot Glasses

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

Good Morning,

Its Wednesday and its foggy out. Will get better as the day goes on.  I took lots of pictures of shot glasses last night to enter into eBay sometime this week.  Doing them in groups this time instead of single glasses. If you want to find them look for Lots not Singles. Sold one yesterday and will be mailing it today. I will be looking for pop corn or bubble wrap to put them in. Friends of mine at the Flea Market are selling tools on eBay so have been giving them my newspapers. I don’t want to use them as they get the glasses dirty.  So if you are local and have any of these supplies you can drop them at my house or at the Flea Market.  I need to go shopping for books and I need to leave my money in the back for rent ..Man I hate these big delima’s

See you on Facebook or Twitter leave comments can’t make it better with out your help

Great Weekend

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

pretty good weekend. Found  a customer helping out his wife look for books..He was in the Historical Romance section. He even came up to me and asked if I had B. Smith before he began looking .. So unlike a man. I like him so much for asking and helping his wife I asked if I could take his picture for my blog today and he said yes. How great is that three wonderful in a row. Next thing I will learn is to turn camera or learn to turn picture.  LOL

I have been busy working on my eBay inserts.. Two come out this hour. I need to work on my postage I think I am charging the wrong fee’s I will get it right by next week. Postage goes up this week. So if you don’t have the everything stamp your postage will be going up. And if you have regular stamps you will be heading to the post office to get more..

I had a facetime chat with my daughter the other day she helped me fix up this blog so it went out on twitter and then to Facebook without me sending it. How great is that.. I hope you are following up and will let me know what you think of my store here in Lake City,Florida and my items on eBay. and of course this blog.

I think I told all of you I am looking for a female cocker spaniel, she will be black and white or even have a little brown in her ..  I will name her B B MA after on of my favorite authors Debbie MAcomber  the A is long  and B is like the letter … I am hoping to get her by my birthday so you all have a few weeks to find her .. House broke would be fine …LOL…

Have a great day and talk to you soon I will not promise to get back to every day but will try at least twice a week…

Books and The Weekend

Saturday, January 21st, 2012

Today started out chilly, I wore a jacket with a fur lining and a hat with ears. I was nice and warm but I did look more weird that usual.  Had lots of customers and that was nice.  I need some more customers to bring me some newer books.  I need the Bride Quartet From Nora Roberts.  I need some newer Lee Childs, Stuart Woods, etc.

I have put a few things on Ebay this week.. postcards, shot glasses, and a book.  I put them under auction. ewest13 seller.  I don’t have a store on Ebay at the moment.  Sounds like it costs more than I make right now.

My daughter (weatherangel,kitty code) and I were on spacetime yesterday it was fun she was helping me up date my blog and eBay.  Now I can do it all myself again after she fixed it up.  she is  real good to me..

My granddaughter in Va had to brave the ice storm to go to a college audition this morning.  I hope she did ok.. She has several others.. She is studying music.

I have decided I want a cocker spaniel her name will be B B MA        Look at my favorite authors name and you will see how I came up with this name   Debbie Macomber

I have started reading Kaki Warner she is a new author to me. I am in the first 22 pages and its about 1800′s early west its got my attention.

Starting over

Friday, January 20th, 2012

Good Morning, Happy Friday. Fridays are fun for me starts my work week.  Today I can go to the book store at the Flea Market and do any set ups I would like to do.  I am going to go though books to bring home to put on-line. Have started to put some items Ebay yesterday. More will come with time. There is so much to go though and picture then put on-line.  I will have books, shot glasses and post cards to name what I have thought of so far. Looks like I will have to get readerwave back in working order as I have the stamp for my books and people know that name.  Here local I have a bookstore at the Flea Market and its called The Bookstore.  Would love to have one in town that is open 5 days a week.  Was looking at a place yesterday but there is nothing available at this time.. An idea spot would be in with another store of some kind. We could draw from each other. If you have idea’s or questions please direct them here to me… Have a great weekend.

Lets try again.

Happy New Year

I wrote a blog a while ago and saved it came back and it’s not there. Sounds like me… LOL. I am trying to start a new trend in 2012. Start things and finish.. I want to start-up my bookstore and shot glass store on-line again. Have not decided if I will do eBay or eCrater. or Both.  Someone gives me some input . What is your favorite.

I have used books that are extra’s in my Flea Market store here in LC,Fl . I have shot glasses that I used to collect. I have over 900 and a new iPhone that takes wonderful pictures so will try to get that started real soon. Postcards have about 1200 that were my Mothers I keep finding them everywhere I look. Would be nice to find people who want big quantities.

For those who are looking for the two books I use to sell for Joe Bullard you need to contact him directly he has a website. google his name or the books names and you will find him.

Have a great week will be talking to you soon.
