Fifty - $1 starting bid items finally listed in my first ever attempt in selling on an auction site. There were times when I thought that I would never get there, but I have done it. If you live in another country, but have friends in NZ, tell them about my auction on Zillion. Ask them to bid on your behalf if there is something you are interested in. Hopefully it won't be too long before I get myself sorted and be able to accept your bids. Things that are easy to post, that fit into an A5 or A4 envelope.
My Own Auction ???
I have been playing around with the idea of starting my own auction / fleamarket right here on one of my blogs. Bidding could be done by leaving a comment which I would post on the blog. I see no reason why it would not work, do you ? You trust me ? I wouldn't lead you up the garden path, would I ? In all honesty though that's what it would be based on - trust. I'm going to give it a go and start off with a few small easy to post items........watch my blogs for a new one........Krazy Kelvin's Auction & Fleamarket. Items will have a starting bid as well as a "buy now" price. Everyone welcome to bid. NZ bidders / buyers pay in folding stuff into my bank account; overseas bidders who have friends in NZ can get them to bid on their behalf or if you don't have friends and I know you, I'll let you pay in "what have you" - meaning you let me know what you have to offer and what you think it's worth and post it to me. I'll post the item/s to you - do a swap based on old-fashion trust !!! All we can do is give it a try and see if it works.
No One Told Me
Many many moons ago, when I was young & krazy (now I'm older, but still krazy) and I first heard of the word fleamarket, I thought what the hell are they talking about. I had never heard of a fleamarket before in my life. I thought why the hell would someone go to a market to buy fleas. So.........(don't laugh, remember I was young & krazy) I ran outside, grabbed the cat, took it back inside and shoved it in the face of the mates girlfriend and said for all the world to hear........why go to a fleamarket to buy fleas, when you can have all the fleas you want for......FREE. I can still picture their faces as the tears rolled down in fits of laughter. (Talk about thickkk. Well, that ws the first time I heard the word "fleamarket" in my life.......and yes, we are still mates to this day)
