The Great Ebay Experiment 5-3-16
Four months in and still drowning in stuff!
We’ll start with what’s sold:
- The Wheel of Time Starter Forsaken Deck
Wheel of Time Starter Deck — This was brand new and sealed. I got it as part of a Lord of the Rings lot. I only wanted the Minas Tirith box from the DVDs, so I’m selling off the rest of the lot.
Until next month! Happy selling and buying!

Ebay Experiment Update 04-03-16
Four months in and still drowning in stuff!
We’ll start with what’s sold:
- Lootcrate Hydra Pin
- Precious Moments Angel Ornament
- Batman Multitool
- Lootcrate Terminator skull and chip
- Precious Moments Oh, How I Love Jesus
- Precious Moments Mouse with Cheese Ornament
- 1 Cookbook on half.com
Hydra pin – Took an offer on this one, but it was close to asking, so I’m fine with that. (Or I wouldn’t have taken it!) I like seeing things run out the door, but I won’t take offers that are below value. It’s just silly!
PM Ornament – Second time around for this one. This was returned once. Hopefully, this customer read *all* of the description and will be happy with him. (These are being sold for a friend.)
Batman Multitool – Another Lootcrate piece off to a happy home. Not a high-value item, but every little bit helps.
Lootcrate Terminator skull and chip – This sold on Bonanza, which is cool. It’s only the second item I’ve sold through that site.
PM Figurine – I am conflicted about this one. It could be just considered cute, or it could be considered seriously racially offensive. It’s a little kid dressed up as a Native American. Therefore, the title makes me twitch. But I will let actual tribe-members make the call as to whether it’s offensive or not.
PM Mouse – I am sort of sad to see this one go. I *love* rats and mice and I was considering keeping this one. He’s adorable, but he’s heading to a good home.
Sold a vintage kid’s cookbook on half.com.
One refund for an item not received. The tracking says it was delivered to a package locker, but the buyer states that they don’t have one. I have to believe the buyer, so I sent the refund. Still sucks.
Until next month! Happy selling and buying!

Look, I finished something! Kid Scarf #1
Okay, so this is actually the third scarf I did for a kid’s charity, but it’s actually done and I remembered to take a picture of it! I’m proud of myself.

Sunday Night Music: The Swan
Like a soprano. The best player I’ve ever heard for the Theremin.
Look I Finished Something! Scarf for a Co-Worker
Yup, just look at that beauty! I actually finished a complete scarf. A very simple scarf, but it took a full skein. And it took a bit of time. Still, it came out really well. And I like the look of it. It worked up nice and soft too!

Sunday Night Music: Blue Monday
I enjoy new interpretations of songs I love.
Look I finished something! Narnia Bookmark
Okay, so it’s not a stuffed cupcake, but I have actually finished a project.
And since I need 1) topics for blogging about to reach my 2 posts a week goal and 2) pictures, this seems a perfect fit! Maybe you’ll get more than two posts a week…
So, here is my Narnia bookmark. I glomped together a few bits from different patterns and then added the scarf at the bottom. I’m ridiculously pleased at this one. (Though, to be honest, a friend did the backing on it.)
