WelcomeTo My Page!

I'm a wife, mom, mom in law and a grandmother whose love of auctions span 38 years. As a young married couple on a budget, auctions furnished our home and are a source for the various birthday and holiday gifts. They were, and still are, a fun way to meet others who share the same passion for them as we do.

The internet has opened up a whole new world for auction lovers of all types. Imagine being able to attend a Live auction from the comfort of your home! I will be sharing my experience with both live in person and internet auctions and how I use them to source vintage items for our eBay business...Desert Sun Collectibles. Enjoy!

eBay Winter Listing Challenge

I didn't get much listed for the first week of the challenge...only 9 items, with 1 sold. My sales have been better this year then others, despite the economy. I'm Thankful for that and previously listed items have been selling in batches, some days there are no sales, others have several.

I have attended 3 live online auctions in the past week. The first two had wonderful items, but the items I was interested in went way too high for possible resell and I didn't buy anything. The third auction had a few items that I bid on and won. After researching though, I'm not so sure I made good choices, only time will tell and I shouldn't be buying anything with all that I have here already! When your addicted to something, it's awfully hard to quit!  Every time I manage to get downstairs, it reminds me of that show "Hoarders".... if I don't get more listed and sold, my house is going to look like one of those.....yikes!  The pictures below only show a fraction of what is downstairs.....
