My eBay Experience (Part 1)

If you have been reading my last few emails you know that Michael Tomas, our Network Engineer and famous "Power Seller" on eBay, helped me to get registered on eBay and PayPal.  After having a somewhat pleasant experience buying Football Tickets on eBay, I thought I would log on and see what else I could find. 

Much to my surprise, eBay is just a huge garage sale.  Even better, it is my favorite kind of garage sale.  You don't have to get up at 6:00 AM on Saturday and drive around looking for good deals.  You can log in anytime of the night or day and search for something you want or need.  I like to call eBay a garage sale for guys.  You order your stuff on the net and it magically appears at your door!

The first thing I did was search for the Avon Chess set that adorns my office and see what it might be worth.  Much to my disappointment, it was not worth much because I didn't keep the original boxes that the pieces came in and I had used the cologne in High School and College.  Not to be discouraged, I looked up a Pewter Plane set that I got from the FullGang for my birthday and I was more than pleasantly surprised. 

Now that I had become somewhat savvy searching on eBay, I began to research one of my hobbies.  In my free time, which I have little of; I play a Medieval Role Playing Game.  I had heard that you could buy accounts for the game on eBay in the past but I had never bothered to look.  When the search completed, there were 140 items that you could buy for the game, from accounts to virtual houses to actual items in the game. 

My head began to spin a little.  People were actually selling computer-generated images of things in the game like a house or sword or a horse for real cash money.  I have been messing around with this game for years, so I decided to see if I could turn some of the leisure time I had spent in the last few years into cash money. 

Next month I will let you know what happened when I tried to make my first sale. 

You too can garage sale while you sit at your computer at http://www.ebay.com
