I do? Hmmm, lemme think...okay, I guess I do. Would it be better if I thought I was so dumb?

Anyway, more than likely another listing special is on the way. Hey, it can't hurt to be ready just in case. My .02 cents.

gotta admit, she was right on the money the last time.

I hope you are right again!

I hope you are right too! I have been creating listings lately and will keep it up and have them ready to launch.

not to be cynical ... but will Auctiva's servers be up to a future eBay sale? They haven't been in the past.

That's why we have to get tons of extra listings prepared now! Then when the day comes we just have to schedule them, which usually has far fewer problems than listing creation on those days (if I remember correctly).

And, Magie, I hope you know I was just joshing!

I hope your right maggie. Im going to be selling a gozillion vintage TV guides this coming week. Would be nice to have the 10 cent insertion sale. Im going to make the listings anyway and wait till they do have it.

All scheduled listings posted last time. More than double a normal Tuesday. If the site was slow then create your listings now. The scheduling wasnt slow.

Jeff, I was referring to the image hosting mess, not the scheduling or listing

Thanks, Rick. To be honest, I wasn't sure. I haven't always had the good fortune of meeting nice people online. Methinks, I might have residual post tramtic stress syndrome from previous online contact with mean, nasty people, lol.

I appreciate your clarification.

Nah, I'm all about the love. If I hadn't had my daily dose of Dr. Pepper it'd be a different story, but I'm properly "medicated" today.

I know just what you need, rick!

by the time you pay shipping it gets pricey, but every now and then i treat myself to some real DP. that stuff they sell nowadays in the US with high fructose corn syrup just doesnt taste the same as back when they used real sugar.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if there is a listing sale soon. Sales are down, plus a lot of sellers are going to ebay live. Many years there is a sale that coicides with ebay live. I always figured there were enough bigger sellers going and stopping or reducing listings while they were gone, and ebay wanted to beef up the listing count.

I'm not going to ebay live, but I will be out of town and with ebay being so slow, I just stopped listing auctions in anticipation. It's kind of nice, because I'm working on other aspects of my store, like adding inventory, without feeling like I'm missing out on a lot of sales.

"For her" nothin'! This is how I can get my fix when away from the bottle!

LMAO

Too funny!

I actually owned a stick of that for a while!

wow, if you ever come out to NE Ohio, I'll take you to a shop that carries a lot of the old sodas. I don't remember seeing that Dr. Pepper but will look next time. The owner pays a lot to get the beverages in glass bottles for that nostalgic feel.

made with real sugar too? i've heard rumors of stores that import traditional coca cola (made with real sugar and like it was before New coke and Classic coke -- so called classic coke isnt the same as before they messed with it) and import other brands as well in order to get the real thing instead of this crap with high fructose corn syrup, but have yet to see such a store. oklahoma is always on the bottom rung - laf! at least i can find imported bottles of barrilitos soda pop

There was never anything as good as a Nehi Grape. It's still made somewhere in Ohio, but hard to find online and expensive.

Well Maggie,
There is it - 20 cent listings for tomorrow only.10 cent would have been better, but I'll take it.
Thanks

That little Ohio shop carries that. Or at least they did last summer. If I thought I could ship you some without it all breaking, I would!

I don't have any control over what kind of special they give us. I just try to predict when they're going to have them. Another one, cool! List, list, list, list, list, list!

You and my daughter's pink magic 8 ball (shake shake shake ask question and watch for the answer) were right on the button as far as predictions.

I lay odds on you both!!!!!!

Listings done, scheduling (in the process)

Thanks MAGIE!
Donna

Dag Gummit, I wasnt expecting the ebay sale so soon. Im not even close to ready for it..lol. Can you predict when they are going to have a .10 cent insertion sale for me and make it at least 3 days in advance magie?....lol. I have over 50 vinatge TV Guides to list. Gonna take some time.

Grab that Dr Pepper and call it a late night

more than welcome - glad to help!

one of the nice things about the new version of openoffice is that it even has clones of powerpoint and access! I love access databases - use it all the time. my plan (dream) is to make an access database of products and have it auto-generate files for ebay bulk uploads, googlebase, my site's shopping cart database, and other online shopping sites that allow bulk uploads. but that's a little ways down the road.

dang it, i cant decide whether to list for 20cent day or not (since will be at ebay live)

ponder ponder

Well, I am passing on the 20 cent sale..not only did I not have enough time but I put in my present auctions that I didnt have anything but railroadiana items this week (shows commitment) to the modelers out there in railroadiana land. So since they dont end till sunday, that would kinda make me a fibber if I had other stuff on there...lolol.
Good Luck to you all on your auctions. I hope you make lots of dough!
