I am a novice seller on Ebay, I have almost 70 points on my seller account. I've had my account for almost 7-8 years and occasionally sell something I no longer want that may be of some value. I recently sold roughly 50 single DVDs, as well as a lot of over 100 DVDs. I also sold a camper valued at $9000 on Ebay, so you can say that Ebay got a nice chunk of ...

I am a novice seller on Ebay, I have sold a few things on Ebay, including a 9,000 dollar camper. I do not sell on a constant basis, only when I have something I no longer want, and worth value.

I'm a Wisconsin native, so cold weather doesn't usually bother me. Today though, its like -8 F out there with a wind chill of -30 F. I'm looking forward to tomorrow when it will be a balmy 7 out there.

In reality though, they're just trying to boost their Google ranking or the awareness of their software.

I've found that there really isn't much you can do about ...

Gas around here has finally dropped below $3. A few places hit $2.99 right before hurricane Ike, but now we're at $2.89.

I don't know if I should be happy or sad that I'm excited that I can fill my tank for less than $60. :-k
