I'm going to spend the long week-end looking for my 52 items. 

And I'm gonna change my ID name too to something chic.

Well that was a fun read early in the morning!   

I enjoyed reading about the wierd stuff sold..esp the woman that sold cheating hubby`s car for less than a dollar!! 

[flipping_treasures]

That was a great read.  I remember quit a few of these sells.

According to Linda ((lady in the article), "Most people don’t know that the average household has over 52 items worth over $3,000 just lying around their house ready to sell."

Ok, so, $3,000.00 divided by 52 comes out to $57.70 a piece.  Either I need to dig deeper or I'm below average

cause I can't find that many items (actually I haven't found one ) "just lying around" worth that much.

Tex ,

Don't feel bad , I have seen this Linda's stuff seller before and by no means is the stuff she sells laying around my house ( or the average seller's home ) . I think she might be out of touch with what is average. I know she is a power seller so I was interested to read her tips . They seemed kind of generic and canned to me . No help there . Come on Linda , give us some real tips ! 

I also enjoyed reading about about the weird stuff sold on eBay . Left over Brussels sprouts ? REALLY ?!! Do people still sell this kind of crazy stuff ? If so , under what category ?

OMG!  I DARE you to list that!!

[dream*peddler]

LOL, Tex!  That should go for at least $50,000.00!  Now if it only had Elvis's face on it...  .  Linda's Stuff operation is about 1/2 hour from me so she's in the local business section of the paper quite often.  I check her stuff from time to time.  She's a good business woman but there's a lot of turnover in her company as you can imagine.

LOL on the cheese puff!  My kids once found a deformed animal cookie with an elephant body and a giraffe neck/head attached to elephants back.  Should have sold it!

[gauntlettgems]

That cheese puff looks like ole Nessy. Betcha that would get bids!!!

[gauntlettgems]

We should have a contest and find a weird item to list for 7 days and see who gets the most bids and/or who gets the highest $$. Lol

[retro-charm]

OMG!  I DARE you to list that!!
