Jeff - if only ebay would offer that option. Now I've only sold a few things long ago, but I have bought a few too and I don't think we can go for listings less than 5 days or so. I'm such a novice! :thumbsup2

Now there is the Buy-It-Now option. :thumbsup2 No more waiting for the auction to run it's course if your willing to pay the sellers price.

I've done it for things that I know what price I'll settle for. It's not that much to add on to the listing and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Auctions can be set up to run for 3,5,7 or 10 days. I know several of us who listing 5 day auction just recently when ebay had a .10 listing sale. Instead of run them 7 days as we normally would have, we listed for 5 in the hopes of not ending with the masses.

There is absolutely no rhyme or reason to ebay. I've been amazed at what some people will pay for an item. I think a lot of it has to do with supply and demand but I almost suspect more that it's a case of I'm not going to let you have it, I want it instead. A lot of human nature involved. I've had auction go hog wild on items that I didn't think were worth the price the buyer paid. But, hey if your happy, who I am to question what you pay for plastic, toy curlers. I had someone recently pay almost $90 for a set of them. I don't understand it and would be a very rich lady if I could figure it out.

Diana made reference to my lunatic ebay buyers. I've had a few doozies. As my ebay mentor, I think I should just send those off to Diana in the future. I think I'll write a book and sell it on ebay. :idea: :rotfl: :rotfl:

We are hopefully buying our veggies tomorrow or Sunday. Bruce is going to work on making a raised bed for them tonight whiile I go out, so hopefully I'll have a garden by Monday!!

Because I've had something to do every single day this week, today is errand running day. :rolleyes: I have to go to BJs, the grocery story and Walmart. It's 8:40 and my girls are still sleeping, I had hoped to be loading them into the car by now!
 
Thanks for all the Congratulations for my DD! :grouphug:

Today is their Variety show @ 1:00 and 7:00. DD is doing her form for the show. Then all of the butterflies can leave from her stomach! :thumbsup2

Jeff- I have to correct ya here.... Last nights game was Cavs vs the Pistons... and the CAVS won!!!!!! LeBron is amazing!!!!!!!
If I was a betting gal I could have won 1400 on a $200 bet last night. The CAVS are having an amazing playoff season.... :cool1:

DH and I both received a Vacation Magic mag today... Kinda cool we both got to read it. There are some interesting facts in this issue.....

Sorry about that. You're right it was the Cavs and Curt was not a happy camper leaving the ESPN Club. We went back to see the end of the game as did it seemed like everyone hanging out on the Boardwalk.

I wish I received the Vacation Magic, how long does it take for Florida to receive them? Are they an early state or one of the last to get it?

Sandy - sounds like an awesome show. That is one I would love to see!


Jeff - sadly while 99% of the people who post on the DIS are good the other 1% can be trouble. Someone could come across as very kind to one person and be very mean to another. I prefer to give everyone the benefit of the doubt until they hurt me or someone close to me. Sadly that has happened on here. I hope it never happens to you but when it does it can be an eye opener. I prefer to spend my time dealing with the 99% that is great. Even more I prefer to spend time with the small percentage of people that have not only become computer friends but true friends. Had to come back to edit as I was interrupted when I wrote that. I love making new friends as well. What I meant was I just don't worry about dealing with the negative 1% any more. :)

Mary - I am sorry what you described has happened to you. I'm sorry if it's happened to others on the boards as well. I enjoy interacting with everyone on the boards but if someone hurts me or someone close to me I'm not sure how I would react but it probably wouldn't be too friendly and action would definitely be taken. Saying that, I am friends with some who have had run-ins with others of whom I am also friends with and while I hate to be the one in the middle, I can accept that and would prefer to remain friends with everyone. :thumbsup2 . Please let me know if anyone has any concerns with me, I'd rather address them now than have to tip-toe around them up to cruise time.
 
Jeff - your post made me smile and say whew, draw me a map man.

I'm a loud walker, especially if I am wearing my blinky flip flops as one (as you can see from my tags) doesn't always work well unless I stomp, so no worries on the tip toeing!

Jeff - the DIS is a community and like all communities people have different opinions. All are still more than welcome here (well except for those who don't follow the guidelines but that is a whole different thing). I judge each person individually and don't judge others by their associations. Like I said in my original post I prefer to focus on the 99% and not the 1%

The thing is we all interact more on the boards than we do on the actual cruise. There were people I interacted on the boards with daily who I rarely saw on the cruise. The ship is so big and all our interests so varied that we as a large group won't be together 24/7.

No need to tip-toe. If you ever see me running away from you it will be because I look like a mess and don't want to be captured on video :lmao:
 
Ok, I'm just getting back to the DIS after my 2 days at WDW. So, I'm off to go read all the posts that I have missed!!!
 
A Belated Happy Anniversary to
Todd & Cheryl!!
 
:cheer2: Congrats on 100 posts, Jeff!!! :cheer2:

Here's to many, many more!!! :wizard:

Hi everyone. I finally decided to come out of hiding and say hello to you all. :wave:
OMG - is that really Bruce the Shark coming out of hiding??? That means that I need to get dvcChrisVWL out onto the thread too.
Actually, Bruce probably went back into hiding, since I'm trying to catch up!! Oh well, I probably missed him.
