eBay My World: lbowden1964( 1950)

WELL I AM AN HONEST SELLER THAT IS OUT TO BASICLY SELL ON EBAY FOR THE ENJOYMENT AND TO MAKE ENOUGH TO CONTINUE PURCHASING NEW ITEMS AND ABLE TO MEET NEW PEOPLE, AND KEEP MY EBAY ACOUNT IN GOOD STANDINGS. I'M A SEARCH AHOLIC WHEN IT COMES TO THE WEB

English, LITTLE SPANISH

READ THE BIBLE A COUPLE TIMES, READ A BOOK ON COMPUTER REPAIR AND PAST THAT COURSE. AND I PURCHASE AN EBAY BOOK NOW AN THEN TO SEE WHAT NEW IDEAS I CAN COME UP WITH TO MAKE SALES.

TITANIC, SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE, PACIFIER, TAPS, I DON'T REALLY TAKE THE TIME TO SIT DOWN AND REALLY WATCH A MOVIE. THE ONLY TIME MY TV IS ON IS WHEN I'M EATING OR SLEEPING. OTHER THAN THAT I DON'T WATCH MANY MOVIES.

38 SPECIAL, BAD COMPANY, JUDAS PRIEST, ZZ TOP, THE EAGLES, AND NICKLEBACK. THAT'S ABOUT IT. MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF RASCAL FLATTS AND KENNEY CHESNEY.

I HAVE BEEN ASKING MYSELF IF I WANT TO JUMP INTO AN EBAY STORE OR A WEBSITE. THE LAST TIME I SOLD ON EBAY WAS ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO AND I WAS SPENDING EVERYTHING I MADE AND ONLY BUYING A FEW NEW ITEMS TO SELL. THEN I GOT INTO A LOT OF DIFFERENT ITEMS AND FOUND THAT TO BE A DISASTER. I WENT BELLY UP. THE FUNNY THING IS I WENT TO A VIDEO STORE ONE DAY TO RENT A DVD AND THEY WERE CLEARING OFF THE SHELVES. I ASKED THE OWNER WHAT WAS UP AND HE SAID HE WAS LOSING BUSINESS AND COULDN'T AFFORD TO STAY OPEN. WELL I HAD $20.00 IN MY POCKET AND HE SAID IF YOU WANT I'LL SELL YOU ANY VHS TAPE FOR $2.00 AND ANY DVD FOR $5.00. WELL I SPENT MY LAST TWENTY BUCKS. ABOUT TWO WEEKS WENT BY AND I WAS RIDING DOWN A ROAD QUITE AWAYS FROM WHERE I LIVE. BASICLY JUST GETTING OUT FOR A BREAK. I SAW A SIGN AT THE END OF THIS ROAD THAT SAID VIDEO SALE. I KNEW THERE WASN'T A VIDEO STORE IN THAT AREA, BUT THE SIGN SAID THOUSANDS OF MOVIES. I CHECKE4D IT OUT AND THEY HAD A PILE. IT WAS THE OWNER OF THE VIDEO STORE.LOL!

WELL TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT I ASKED HIM HOW MUCH HE WOULD SELL ME ALL HIS DVD'S FOR. HE CAME UP WITH A REALLY LOW NUMBER AND I SAID SOLD. I LEFT THAT DAY WITH 1400 DVD'S. TWO DAYS LATER HE CALLED ME ON MY CELL PHONE AND SAID I'D LIKE TO SELL YOU ALL MY VHS TAPES. I SAID I'D TAKE A LOOK BUT THAT I HAD LITTLE INTEREST IN VHS TAPES. WELL I GOT THERE AND HE SHOWED ME HOW MUCH HE WANTED AND I FIGURED I'D NEVER BE ABLE TO SELL THEM AND MAKE A PROFIT. BUT I DID BUY A BOX FULL FOR MY DAUGHTER FOR $60.00. WELL TWO MORE DAYS WENT BY AND I GET ANOTHER CALL. LOL! IT WAS THE SAME MAN AND HE SAID IF I TAKE ALL THE VHS TAPES HE HAS HE WOULD SELL THEM FOR $300.00. HE HAD ABOUT 1700 MOVIES. SO I FIGURED IT WAS A WIN WIN SITUATION. I BOUGHT HIM OUT AND BROUGHT THEM HOME AND WORKED LIKE CRAZY FOR DAYS TO TRY TO GET THE MOVIES LISTED. WELL MY MOVIE SUPPLY WAS GETTING DOWN AND I HAD MADE A BIG PROFIT ON THEM SO I STARTED BUYING WHOLESALE LOTS ON EBAY. I AM NOW SITTING ON AROUND 4000 MOVIES AT ANY TIME.

I ACCEPT PAYPAL AND RECOMMEND IT DO TO EVERYONE. I WOULD HAVE LOST OVER $300 DOLLARS ON A SALE I MADE IF I HADN'T PAID WITH PAYPAL. I COULDN'T GET A RESPONSE FROM THE SELLER ABOUT MY MONEY OR MY ITEM AND AFTER NOTIFYING PAYPAL THEY STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE AND GOT MY MONEY BACK. IT'S NICE TO KNOW YOUR NOT ALONE WHEN YOU GET CAUGHT IN A SCAM. IT MAY TAKE A LITTLE TIME TO SET UP. BUT ONCE YOU GET IT SET UP IT IS VERY EASY TO BUY WHATEVER YOU WANT AND KNOW PAYPAL WILL STAND BEHIND YOU. I ALSO ACCEPT CASHIER'S CHECK, MONEY ORDERS AND PERSONAL CHECKS FROM THOSE PEOPLE THAT HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING TO THE POST OFFICE OR DON'T HAVE TIME. I DO MAKE PERSONAL CHECKS SIT FOR UP TO TEN DAYS TO MAKE SURE MY BANKCLEARS THEM BEFORE I SHIP YOUR ITEMS. SO IF YOUR IN A HURRY I RECOMMEND GETTING PAYPAL OR A MONEY ORDER OR CASHIER'S CHECK SO YOU WON'T HAVE A WAITING PERIOD.

I SHIP MOST ITEMS OUT ON THE SAME DAY AS PAYMENT IS RECIEVED. IF IT'S AFTER 2:00 P.M. YOU PROBABLY WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE FOLLOWING DAY. I MAIL ALL ITEMS WITHIN TWO DAYS UNLESS WE RUN INTO A HOLIDAY AND THE POSTAL SERVICE IS NOT RUNNING. I USE THE POSTAL SERVICE FOR ALL MY SHIPPING DUE TO THE FACT THAT UPS AND FED EX ARE A LONG DISTANCE AWAY. SAME THING WITH DHL. I CAN USE THEM BUT THEY CHARGE ME TO COME PICK UP THE ITEM AND THAT'S GOING TO COST YOU MORE. SINGLE DVD'S ARE NORMALLY SHIPPED FIRST CLASS WHICH IS 2-5 DAYS AND MULTIPLE DVD'S OR VHS TAPES ARE SHIPPED MEDIA MAIL WHICH IS 2-9 DAYS. I SHIP TO HAWAII AND ALASKA FOR THE SAME PRICE I DO THE LOWER 48 STATES JUST BE UNDERSTANDING. IT WILL PROBABLY BE LONGER THAN NORMAL SHIPPING TIME FOR YOU. BUT THE COST IS THE SAME. I SHIP TO CANADA ALSO. I AM FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE A GOOD POST MASTER THAT TOLD ME HOW TO CUT THE SHIPPING COST ON DVD'S TO CANADA. I CAN ONLY SHIP ONE AT A TIME THOUGH. OR IT COST ME A LOT OUT OF POCKET.

ONCE YOU RECIEVE YOUR ITEM YOU HAVE 3 DAYS TO CONTACT ME AND TELL ME THERE IS A PROBLEM. I AM NOT HARD TO GET ALONG WITH AND PEOPLE THAT BUY MULTIPLE MOVIES CAN'T SIT AND WATCH THEM ALL AT ONCE. SO I DO ALLOW SOME EXTRA TIME. I DON'T KNOW WHEN A MOVIE IS DAMAGED UNLESS I OPEN IT AND THEN IT'S LIKE SELLING A USED MOVIE. I'D RATHER HAVE MY PRODUCT SEALED. I MAY ASK YOU IF I MAY OPEN ANOTHER COPY OF THE MOVIE YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH AND TEST IT BEFORE SHIPPING. I DON'T WATCH THE WHOLE THING. I JUST CHECK A FEW DIFFERENT AREAS IN THE DISC. THAT WAY I WON'T BE SENDING YOU ANOTHER BLANK. IF I SAY NEW MOVIE IT IS NEW. I HAVE SOME MOVIES THAT THE SEALS ARE BROKEN ON AND I HAVE OPEND BECAUSE THE CASE IS DAMAGED OR THE DVD HOLDER IS BROKEN.BUT I WILL MENTION THAT IN MY LISTING.

THE BEST WAY TO CONTACT ME IS TO GO ON EBAY AND COTACT SELLER AND THEN WRITE YOUR MESSAGE. I HAVE SEVERAL HUNDRED E-MAILS GO THROUGH MY OTHER E-MAIL BOX AND SOMETIMES I JUST DELETE EVERYTHING BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE ALL JUNK AND SPAM. I CAN ALSO BE REACHED AT lbowden41@adelphia.net UNDER SUBJECT PUT EBAY AND ITEM NUMBER IF IT'S HANDY. THE BEST WAY IS TO USE EBAY. THEN I CAN CLICK RIGHT ON YOUR ORDER AND ACCESS ALL YOUR INFORMATION. LIKE SHIPPING DATES. WHERE ITEM IS. ECT...

THAT'S EASY TO ANSWER. IT'S FUN AND I ENJOY TALKING TO PEOPLE AND FEEL LIKE SOMEOF MY CUSTOMERS ARE OLD FRIENDS. I KNOW IT SOUNDS SILLY. BUT WHEN YOU SELL TO THE SAME PERSON A FEW TIMES YOU GET TO DO A LITTLE CHATTING AND I REALLY ENJOY THAT. I SUFFER FROM MAJOR DEPRESSION AND WITH MY MEDS AND SELLING ON EBAY I FEEL LIKE I HAVE A REASON TO BE HERE. I FELT LIKE IT DIDN'T MATTER FOR A LONG TIME. BUT NOW I HAVE PEOPLE BUYING EVERY DAY AND I JUST FEEL HAPPY TO GET UP AND WORK ON THE COMPUTER. i'M SURE THERE ARE OTHERS LIKE ME OUT THERE DOING THIS FOR THE SAME REASON. I MAY OPEN AN EBAY STORE BUT I STARTED TO A COUPLE TIMES AND GOT ALL NERVED UP BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. ANYWAY EVEN IF I DON'T OPEN AN EBAY STORE I'LL STILL BE SELLING IN THE AUCTION. wELL HOPE I DIDN'T BORE YOU. I JUST THINK IT WAS MEANT FOR ME TO SELL DVD ON EBAY WITH THE WAY EVERYTHING WAS HAPPENING.
