Thursday's #154 - Who's knocking at the door?

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Congratulations, Willie! Hope all goes well! Also glad to hear those storms didn't hit you too bad. I heard Tennesse and I immediately thought of you and Kimlovescats, so I'm glad to hear you're all ok.....and impatiently waiting on a new baby boy!

David, it's a '91 ZR-1 that Terry sold. I had the same exact car, but mine was green and I sold mine last spring. It wasn't as big a deal for me because I had only been into Corvettes since 1998, not like Terry who has been into them forever! I'll attach a pic for your viewing pleasure.

Coke for me please, got another busy day ahead of me so I need all the caffeine and sugar I can get to get me going this morning!

Good morning and happy Thursday....or Thirsday as we say it here. Richard, nice of you to check in and hope you didn't mind me starting this thread but I was desperate for a drink....something to make me a zombie.

Debbie: love the corvettes and can totally understand how hard it must to let them go. Just think of it in the long term......

Willie: Congrats! Isn't it the husband that's supposed to keel over?? Don't forget the polaroids!!

Just gotta tell you folks.....I signed up for Ebay last weekend and I'm totally addicted. Never thought I would, but when I get to work I open up Pet Talk and Ebay before I even check out my work email. Have already made one buy and have bids on two others. Lost a bid on one other. Very small items mind you, but still, it's such a rush when the auction gets nearing the end and you're hoping and wishing you don't get outbid. Man, the stuff you can buy there.....it's like Alice's Restaurant!!! You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant!!

OK, back to reality now.

I'll take a nice cup of tea to start my day please. Have a good one and I'll check back later.

Me too, Slick, except I'm addicted to the selling end of it! One of the first items we sold was a partial high-end GPS unit we got with the motorhome when we bought it. Notice I said partial GPS unit. We looked into what it would take to get it going, decided it was too much and went and bought a $99.00 program that works just fine. So we went out on a limb and posted this partial GPS unit on ebay. Got a ton of inquiries asking if we had all the parts and we were honest and told everyone "No, what is posted is all we have." The thing sold for over $300.00! That was our first sale, and like you say, Slick, it's exciting watching it in the end, seeing who's going to win. I always like it when the personal person wins insted of the person who's just bidding on it because they think they can get it cheap and then they post it in their own ebay store. So far, knock on wood, we haven't been burned and we've made almost $3,000.00.....on stuff we were mostly going to just throw away! I'm now finding out that Craig's list is a wonderful thing too, and I honestly don't think I'll ever pay full price for furniture ever again! You can always tell when you've priced something too low because the people come out of the woodwork for the stuff....stuff you thought was junk! Ahhh....the internet is a wonderful thing, isn't it? Of course, my fingers are sore from replying to about 80 emails and no actual work has gotten done around here yet, but what they hey, eh?

By the way, Slick, you don't need a 50 amp cord for your RV, with both end plugs included....do you? If so, we've got one on ebay right now.

I'm up for one more coke, then I think I'll try a shandy. Others think it sounds gross, I kind of like the idea. Kind of like Weiss beer with lemon - yummy! Lager and lime sounds good too, but I think I'll try the shandy first.

Oh, and thanks, Slick, for the compliment on the Corvettes. We got involved in our first online community through those Corvettes. Met a lot of great people and had a lot of great times...... ...kinda like PT.

Willie, is it a baby yet?

[gini]

What a busy place this is this morning. Goodness - we have the choir over in one corner (and they sound good too!! )

And we have a nursery??? Oh, this is just too exciting. Willie, I hope all goes well for your daughter. What wonderful times you have ahead of you.
Absolutely nothing like a brand new baby in the family.

And why are you all crowded around the computer? Oh, I get it E-Bay.
I have some friends who buy on E-Bay all of the time and they have gotten some amazing things at rock bottom prices. They even found a sofa from the 20's that matched their own - so now they have two in their living room.

I think I will clean up a bit - and make some more coffee for you all.

I will be back later - it's another busy day for me.

I have a bit of an ebay habit too, but I am managing to stay away at the moment. Sold much more than I have bought over the last six months. That has to be a good thing!

Haven't had a shandy in years! Maybe just a small one before I head home!
