swingchickieebay, that is. darn jack and his re-introducing me to the site... in the past 6 years i've received a total of 13 feedback scores, and i'm going to probably double that in just the next few weeks.
first it started with me cleaning out my jewelry box, and realizing i had a few pieces that people might like. (that girl has STILL not e-mailed me back about paying me for the tiffany ring... i'm SO reporting her to ebay.) then, i commented on these awesome aluminum tumblers of jack's that i love, and he told me they were vintage... turns out there were a bunch on ebay, as well as pitchers and bowls and all, so i snapped up several auction's worth to have a full set (they were only like $5 a set).
THEN, last night he sold an old camera. literally, he put it up there, and within 20 minutes someone had snapped it up for the "buy it now" price. well, darnit, *i* have an old camera at home too... so last night i took pictures of it, as well as a whole mess of loose beads and jewelry-making supplies, and some irish china i've never used.
i'm *really* tempted, though, to ebay something i've been holding on to for years: a 1960's wedding minidress with the tags still on it. it's outrageous -- bell sleeves with rhinestones going down them, a rhinestone belt buckle... i *heart* this thing. but literally, i bought it not because it fit me at the time, but because it was so beautiful i wanted to just have it to look at. but it's been sitting in a box for years, i think i need to let some lucky woman have it and make the most of it.
