The Economy Is So Bad . . .
Even ebay, the online flea market for garbage and junk, is offering a 10% discount on the winning bid via PayPal. Ebay prices have been like the stock in the DJIA, they have been seriously overpriced. I think it's time for a downward adjustment anyway. Even with the 10% coupon factored in, some of the junk can't still be a treasure from the price point of view, they need to be at least 30% off to get to a more reasonable level as far as from junk to gem is concerned.

ReplyDeleteI went to the library book sale but couldn't find anything from Ansel Adams.
ReplyDeleteOne of the stupid things I observe from a bidder's perspective is why would you bid on something way ahead of the closing end time, so you can attract competitions and got the price jacked up? I don't understand it. From the seller's point it's great but definitely not as a potential buyer. I wouldn't bet on anything until the last minute or so.
