Stuff sold on ebay

- 1930s cocktail party.
Genuine article. Slightly worn round the edges. Fey evening gowns, original martinis, cigarettes + wealthy dowager. Much witty discussion about W C Fields. Several authentic jazz cylinders being played on permanent rotation. Party started at Gayle and Freddy's house, but just kept going and going and getting bigger and bigger so Gayle and Freddy had to shift it off to the countryside, where it's been going ever since. Original party-goers dead, but spirit of the occasion - the impressive art nouveau gloss to the whole affair - carries on regardless.

May need to have licence to own monkeys.

What if we went halves on the severed head of John Gorton? I'd be cool if you kept it at your house. Only if you let me visit from time to time.

I visited your blog, it's fabulous! How'd you find mine? I'm curious.

If you'd said that to me five years ago, I would have thought you were mad! The blogosphere has changed lots of things...

That GB, always good value. Thanks!

Either by offering shipping insurance or different methods of shipping, just like offering more ways to buy, you should never limit your sales by not offering enough shipping options. Some buyers want shipping insurance when they buy an item or they want it to get to get to them faster, so allow them the option of doing so when you list your item.List your tickets on ebay with ListEasy to save time.
