This is my second job as well as my hobby, I LOVE IT. I do this so that my family can have extra things, such as our vacation to Disney World! I am also a full time football mom with a wonderfully helpful husband, so selling on eBay comes in spurts.

Wow, where to begin! Plus size clothes, boys clothes, curly maple wood frames, makeup, hair dye, old post cards, halloween costumes, and anything and everything else I find that is unusal and unique! If I find it and think someone else would love to have it, I buy it and list it! My husband says...let me guess...for ebay? My kids say, Is this for us, or are you selling it on eBay? They get so excited when they get to keep some treasure I come home with!! I only sell items I would like to buy... if its junk, its not worth my time. I dont want the hassle of you not being satisfied. Its not worth the few dollars I will make. Look at my feedback, I buy as much as I sell on eBay, so I will not sell things that are less quality than what I expect to receive when I win something!

You name it!! Literally! I just remodeled my home... sink faucets, shower heads, decorative tile, candles, bedding, makeup, hair products, clothes for whole family, shoes, christmas gifts, hard to find decorative items, door knobs, pillows, aromatherapy oils, bath and body works products, purses, wallets, slippers, real dragonflys, frames, antique cattle brands with my kid's initials (now everyone knows they are mine! lol...kidding! They were for decoration in thier rooms, not thier butts!), like I said, you name it... If I can wait on it..I will check for it cheaper on ebay before I'll buy it in the store!!

teddy bears from different parts of the world (sadly I havent received many from outside the US, but I am working on it!) and anything old Italian!

My family! They are my hobby, my life! Between fun time with them, football games and practice and basket ball games and practice and school functions, family trips, I dont have time for other hobbies. I have a hard time finding time for my only other hobby, Ebay. And that hobby makes the extra money to support the extra activity for the first hobby, my family....what a circle we lead!

My family photo albums, or the book of the moment one of my sons are reading for homework to me. (In other words, no time to read!)

The Village, Fallen, Sixth Sense, Seven, ....I love suspense/thrillers...NOT horrors! I love at the end of a movie to sit in my chair as the credits roll with my mouth hanging open and say...no way! Not many movies catch me off guard... and I love it when they do...It takes you away from the reality of a stressful world called -real life- for 2 hours... what fun!

Trace Adkins, ...excuse me as I wipe the drool from my chin...

House, Grey's Anatomy, Soprano's, Six Feet Under, Law and Order, CSI

Just a quicky about how I believe ebay should work..Not gonna bore ya! Easy. Read the whole auction, before you bid. Ask questions before you bid. Bid. Pay. Wait a few days. Receive package. Open and inspect contents. Within a day or two let seller know if there is a problem. If there is no problem leave + feedback. If there is a problem-stop. Do not leave feedback YET. CONTACT SELLER. Sellers are humans and most of the time made an honest mistake and are more than willing to work with you on fixing the problem quickly. My only negative feedback is from a lady who ordered a vest from me & left me negative feedback because it didnt fit. I gave 5 different sets of measurements in the auction itself! Ok, not sure how I could have fixed her problem, but I would have given it a shot! Now, if seller isnt willing to respond or help fix problem, its time to proceed with neg. feedback, but if seller does fix, proceed with positive feedback. It works for buying and selling! Common curtosy :-)

I have been doing this for six years. I find that if you listen you learn. I find that if you hear what someone is saying and you are both willing to work together to a solution then you will both be happy in the end. I have only had a couple of problems buying and a couple selling. Look at my feedback, you wouldn't know it. It is communication! People tend to forget...if you dont tell people there is a problem, how are they supposed to fix it! If they could read minds do you think they would be selling on eBay for money??? lol Heck No!

Paypal is easy, fast and perfect! But I also take postal money orders and cashiers checks. For those brave souls who trust the USPS with your cash, go ahead. If I get it, I promise you'll get your package. But I would put delivery confirmation on that envelope if I were you... I dont trust that deep dark black hole the post office seems to have at times... I have received cash from people, but not a prefered payment method! (besides, my kids suddenly need snack money when I have cash!) lol

I try to ship out the next business morning after your payment arrives. There are rare instances that I am sick and it will delay it one day, but I have never had a package sit for more than 2 business days after you paid. I dont want to wait that long after paying, so I dont expect you to. I always use the post office to ship by. I find UPS to be difficult to deal with and Fed Ex to be expensive. So if you prefere another method, let me know asap and let me see what we can work out and if the shipping cost will change :)

Take it as it is, unless I screw up and dont see a flaw. Just LET ME KNOW and we will work it out somehow. All items are sold as is, where is. This is the reason I ask that you ask all questions BEFORE bidding! I'll happily answer them promplty!

Email me anytime at momof2boys@mail.com. I check it often!

Your purchase is appreciated! It keeps me from having to find a second job or source of income. In the alternative, it keeps my kids from missing out on things like football, basketball, etc. For the past year, your purchases have been going towards our savings for a dream vacation! We are finally going to Disney! Thanksgiving 2006 we will spend one week in Disney thanks you to you and your support. My kids have helped me package and mail for years now and they have not complained too much on Saturdays when I spend them at the computer at home, so I told them that we would start saving all we made for vacation and if we made enough we would go. Little did I know it was possible. So, my 2 boys thank you too. We were tired of every penny going to bills and getting no where, so we finally did it!!!!
