Why pay retail, when you can pay MORE?

Ok, so as you know, we list a TON of stuff in our eBay store. TON. Anyway, last week, I listed this fancy Estee Lauder age controlling cream. It retails for like $63.50 for a 50ml jar. I didn't quite yet want to sell it, so I listed it for $69.99 thinking no one would be THAT silly and purchase it... Let alone BOTH of them. :-o

Boy was I wrong. They were purchased today. Not that I'm complaining. We could really use the money (gas/electric/rent)... It just is mind boggling to me.

Usually we mark prices up on stuff that has been discontinued, and people gladly pay for it, because that's the only place it can be found. This stuff though, it's still sold online, at retail counters... It's everywhere still!


OH, and we got our first negative feedback yesterday from a jewel of a bidder. Her first emails to us were rude, demanding, and threatening. Hubby is working on getting her banned from eBay entirely. There's no reason for this kind of abuse. Her item was shipped on the 30th of April, and she's complaining already... Her mail is mixed up with Mother's Day cards, that's like the 2nd biggest shipping time of the year! Oh, and she already put a PayPal dispute through... she'll probably be granted that because the bidders are always right. It's a drop in the bucket... 1157 other people have NO complaints about us. This one is just like a little splinter (no not the rat from TMNT)... the kind stuck in your finger that just won't go away.

Ah well, another day, another trip to the post office.
