Ebay

Ebay is a very fun place to shop. You find something you want to buy at a cost that is usually lower than what you would pay in the store. You bid on the item and once the end of the auction arrives, it can get very exciting, especially when you are trying to outbid someone else.

Ebay can also be a very fun place to sell. I just listed my very first item to sell on Ebay on Saturday. I listed a quilt (see pic above) I bought at Target about a year ago. Ray didn't like it and so its been sitting in my closet ever since. We threw away the packaging it came with and so I was unable to return it. I paid around $80 for the quilt and so i thought it was fair to list the item at $49.99. Well, with 4 days left, the bids are already at $91. The same quilt had also just sold about a week ago for $139. Now, a buyer paying $139 for a $80 quilt is pretty absurd, however, as a seller of this item I think its a great idea! So, it will be interesting to see what the winning bid comes to. To the quilt's defense, it has been discontinued at Target, so perhaps that is why these frenzied buyers are bidding so much. I'm just happy that I'm going to get back what I paid for it.
