February 21, 2008 Volume IV, Issue 8

Dear eBayers,

Mo and I can’t wait to share all your concerns over the new eBay policies with eBay management. I will let you know how it goes when we return next week.

Remember a few weeks ago when I bought all those Native American Pottery pieces and none sold for very much? Well, I had a very nice surprise a few days ago. You won’t believe what this one little spoon sold for!!! Very exciting.

Click here to see what it sold for.

And remember that flatware from last week that I waited so patiently to purchase at 1⁄2 price. I spent $87.50 for one shoebox full. Now, normally flatware takes a while to sell and doesn’t usually sell the first time out at auction. I always tell my students–”Don’t get discouraged because it will eventually sell out of your eBay store.” But boy was this my lucky week. Those 61 auctions ended on Tuesday evening with 42 of them closing with bids. Grand total was $453.61!!!! What a major coup!!!

Amazing!!

Speaking of amazing, that is what the Live Boot Camp experience will be for those of YOU lucky enough to attend. We have already sold six seats!!! And with almost seven months until the event–you know that this will sell out completely. I don’t want YOU to miss out–please read more here.

Oh yeah, we had another baseball tournament this past weekend but at least it was here in town. Our first game was at 10 am on Saturday, so my mom and I only had about 1 1⁄2 hours to hit the sales. We only made it to one in Indio that was a community sale. You have to check out this Wedgwood honey pot that I bought for $15 (way more than I would normally spend) but honey pots always sell. Whenever you see a honey pot–buy it! You will always get at least $10 for it.

It turns out that this beautiful Wedgwood piece may be quite rare. I read somewhere that only 300 were made.

Click here to see what it is up to

and the starting bid price I used

to protect my investment.

Let’s see how high it goes!!! Maybe as high as bees fly? Or do they fly very high?

Houston’s baseball team had a major rally comeback. After losing their two games on Saturday, Houston pitched a no-hitter on Sunday morning to get them back in the race–many thanks to his awesome teammates for backing him up with NO errors! Then they went on to knock out the number one seed!! What a tournament. We finished in 3rd place and I am so proud of all the boys!

In the Lynn Recommends section, I am very happy to announce that we are doing another Ask Campaign with my friend and eBay Guru, Lisa Suttora. She is so incredible and so inspiring that I am really excited for next week’s call. Since Lisa is coming back, I asked her to write the feature article this week. Don’t miss that article.

This week’s feature article by guest author Lisa Suttora is all about the Power of 10 when doing your product sourcing. I love this article because Lisa teaches more about selling commodity items in addition to unique one-of-a-kind items. We have great synergy and I know that by having her helping us out, we will all get smarter and make more money on eBay!

I would also like to take this opportunity to announce that we will be posting and sharing quite a few more articles from Lisa on my website in the next few months. Too cool!!!

Finally, I get emails from many of you that want to buy my full Boot Camp in a Box, but just can’t afford it. The one that I listed last week was ended early by eBay due to someone bidding with a stolen ID–Sorry guys!!! So I listed one on eBay this week starting at 99 cents. It ends Friday, February 22nd at 4:27 pm Pacific time. Click here to place your bid.

Here’s to Successful eBaying!
