I hope all had good holidays, I think we did, we survived all the colds , flu , bronchitis. Now we are dug in for the frigid weather the next few days. Supposed to dip to 12 and stay below feezing till Friday.
Looks like eBay is pretty much done as far as small sellers go. It will be interesting to see what happens after the split. I don't hold out a lot of hope.
We are still plugging along at the fleamarket, It hasn't been that great either but seems to pick up on nice days, still profitable 🙂

Hope all is well for all of you and yours. The Ms P had to have surgery for a hernia but is recuperating nicely. The kid finished rehab and now walks with a limp, I rekon that's a blessing, could have been much worse.

Also they are pressuring sellers to give longer return periods, like it's gonna take a buyer 30 or 60 days to decide if they really want this item they purchased. That's how they increased it from 3 to 4 to 7 to 10 and 14 days, first they suggest, then pressure, and finally make it mandatory. I had an appointment for a representative to call me and explain why my good reputation on ebay was in danger because I had a couple of neutrals, one because a watch band was not imitation leather like I described, and another because an insured pot was broken in transit and was returned as "not as described" so I had to pay postage for return. The rep called and after bragging on me for a while she suggested I lower my prices, offer 30 day returns, get a store, and save even more than I'm saving already :). Well I had to explain to her that I've already been down that road, had a store and did quite well, until they blocked all store items from search returns (I never did figure out what their reasoning was on that except the store did have cheaper listing fees) We figured at the time they were going to do away with stores. But not so now, apparently they would rather you have a store over running free auctions and fixed price listings:). Anyway when I gaze into my crystal ball , I see the colors fading in ebay's logo, and a not so bright future 🙂 my 2 cents worth, Leon ,
Y'all be havin' a nice'n

Really been burning the candle at both ends. The kid is walking again without props. After multiple surgeries and a couple of months in a motorized wheelchair, he now walking but having physical therapy twice a week. Getting his strength back. We've got a new manager at the flea and that has taken more of our time. The weather hasn't been all that great here in the balmy south either, sub zero nights with sub freezing highs during the days with snow and ice all over is not something this old boy can get used to. We are total electric and our bill is over $300 a month the last couple of months. But lucky we didn't lose power. Nice to see a few warm days, can't be too long till it gets better, saw Canadian Geese heading North, March lillies are blooming and the Maples are budding. So what's the question of the day??? Glad to see some life in here, y'all stay warm 🙂

Been plenty busy , with the Dr appointments and therapy for the kids broken leg.
And last week we had a turnover in management of our fleamarket, and of course they always have their own new ideas. Business has been so slow that it can't do much but get better or close the doors.

We have about quit going there , the shelves are always empty, and they sell the good stuff on the bay anyway.

Personally I'm not looking for a big jump in sales, been too slow for too long, it's the economy. Those of us who don't live off the government have to spend all our "extra" money on gas and groceries. Even yard sales are slow , or so they say

Been at it so long , got it in my blood I guess. But seriously, it's my storefront, and the rest of the week we can pretty much shuffle around to suit our needs and wants. We've been there so long , we have regular customers even from out of state.

He can straighten his knee, still can't bend it like the good one. But neice says he's gonna get there. Still a while yet before they will let him try to walk on it.

Our neice works there and we kinda requested she be the one to come out and work with him. She scheduled him last for the day so she could spend all the time she wants to. The doc said Wednesday that he wanted to see that leg completely straight when he comes back in 4 weeks. Otherwise healing nicely, still no weight on that leg for 8 more weeks. Therapy starts today,

We built a ramp up to the front door of his apartment so he can get in and out with a walker or wheelchair. He hasn't felt like venturing out yet. Doc told him to flex the knee everytime he thought of it until he comes back for post-op visit , next Wednesday. They will set up therapy then. Still can't put any weight on that leg for 3 months.

He hit a curb and crashed his bike (50cc scooter) in the city park. Crushed his knee, local hospital said they didn't have a doc that could handle that kind of injury so they sent him to the big A town. They pinned his leg up temporarily, gonna operate sometime this week and put plates in, said he wouldn't be able to walk on it for at least 3 months. Prayers will certainly be appreciated.

I've found that some pins are fixable, depends how they are made and how they're broke. The Ms sometimes insists when I say it aint worth fixin', and then she sells it for $10 or $15.

I think on the missing stones, you can usually figure the cost of replacing the lost and discolored stones and deduct that amount. It may not sell as quick but there's always someone out there willing to have it repaired. Myself, I usually do my own repairs. It can take a bit of time to come up with the "just right" stones sometimes tho.
It's just not as busy here as it used to be, same way on ebay and other sites, well, same way at our fleamarket. We are still in recession, people are still hurting from the crash, businesses still closing, still a lot of people out of work
