We have a new addiction here at the homefront.
EBAY!
Mark has been buying things on Ebay for a while. Really we both have. I found a cruise listed on Ebay back in '03 and we ended up buying that and going on a wonderful 7 day cruise. Mark has bought an occasional video game or accessory, but that was just the beginning.
After Christmas he decided to started selling some things too. Old xbox games, his old playstation, some computer games, etc. And since he started, maybe 3 weeks ago, he's made $207!!!
We just listed Chloe's cloth diapers this morning and already have people bidding on them!
It's quite exciting to see people wanting your baby's old crap rags.
Some people will buy anything.
Of all the diaper stash we had, it ended up being 6 different listings and should get us up another $100.
We've decided to save up the money, cash it out, and shop for a new surround sound system. Mark's had his eye on this Sony one for a while, but pulling 500 big ones out of thin air has proven to be difficult.
That Ebay commercial has it all wrong. I think it's definitely more fun to list an auction and see people bid on your old dust catchers than it is to win one.
