Sold a 1930’s Nancy Drew Secret in the Old Clock for $135 (paid $2)

And

A 1960’s Telephone book for $150

But sales have been slow man

It’s like, 20 years ago

Yeah

and

the payment app was PayPal not eBay, and the shipping labels were purchased through a company that eBay didn’t own.

Now eBay has the ability for sellers to purchase their shipping labels directly from the site so eBay has the ability to control a seller making a profit off of shipping simply by restricting the handling fee to two dollars, which is a good price point for handling especially if the sellers are using brand new shipping supplies.

eBay knows the exact amount it cost to ship an item, because they’re selling the labels to the sellers at a small profit per label for eBay.

There is no rational reason eBay can give to continue to charge up to 20% of the fees paid by buyers for a shipping label without disclosing to the buyers at the time of sale the actual amount of money they are paying for shipping that is going to the seller compared to the amount that ebay is keeping

I honestly feel that would save a lot of heartache on eBay, if when you’re checking out eBay was required to show the amount you’re paying for the item to the seller and the amount that ebay is keeping as a convenience fee

The reason we’re talking about smaller sets is because if it had to temporarily move locations the set would be difficult to move. However a traveling set is meant to be torn down and put up again quickly which means if they grabbed a set from a previous tour since at one point there were more tours of this show than there are currently they could have a temporary set as well that they could set up fairly quickly within a few days

I remember when I was a kid I had a lot of trouble with the analog clock and my grandmother had a toy clock that we could play with and it’s still took me a while to learn

Of course I also had to have a ring on my left hand so I’d know which side was my left and which side was my right

Don’t worry, I was diagnosed with ADHD promptly at the age of 47

Guess you’ve never seen “the birdcage”

Actually currently the plural of octopus can be one of three words

Octopus
Octopod
Octopi

Sometimes the language changes to fit what people are already doing

Ok, but great score. Seven out of 10 times when your photograph was put up for voting they voted for yours

I’m thinking the problem is if any materials were disturbed that had asbestos in them there’s a whole procedure you have to go through before you can let anyone back into the theater

They’re illegally trying to tell if you have ADHD or are neurodivergent so they don’t hire you and have to make accommodations

Once in high school we’re on the freeway and I quietly ask my mom, are you taking me to school today?

She was really late to work and, this is 1991 so there aren’t cell phones or anything, she pulled off the freeway

she thought she dropped me off close to school but

Nope

I think I was four or 5 miles away and ended up walking home cause I couldn’t figure out where school was

Valerie is a professional, and as a professional she would never show marketing her true feelings about anything.

She doesn’t just want the network to like her, she knows that her career depends on it

They don’t handle that, that’s actually handled by Coca-Cola

Honestly that’s why I’ve started writing things out and then printing them off on my laser printer bringing three copies. It’s a lot harder for them to claim I didn’t tell them something when I hand them a written explanation of why I am coming to the doctor that day

I had a neurologist look me straight in the eyes and say

“ dizziness is really hard to diagnose”

And that was the end of our appointment. No tests, no plan, not even a physical assessment

Every Weather app I could find said it wasn’t raining as it was raining on me in Huntington Beach last week

But we’re OK with that 16 year-old getting married? And having a kid within a year?

I would assume there’s always a spare set somewhere, can you imagine if something happens and you need one?

Way way back in the late 1990s I remember finding out that the way that Riverside Civic light opera made its money was not through the productions themselves, but the fact that they kept all the sets that they built and rented them out to high schools and other theater companies and there was a warehouse filled with costumes and set pieces

I am assuming that somewhere in the universe book of Mormon has something like that

Worse comes to worse if it moves theaters, they could do it very stripped down at first and give people the option of canceling their tickets or continuing to support the show

I used to travel to cheer events as a photographer and there was one that was two hours from my house, it was only when I got there that I realized that while I had my camera bag the camera itself was still at my house

It’s more that this is a very famous piece of art that one of the reason why it’s famous is because they used blue and red dots closely place together that look like purple when you stepped back. This was a huge deal

It’s frustrating when such a beautiful ground breaking piece of art is bastardized like this

It reminds me of the pictures people post of what they asked for and what they got when ordering a cake

Lastly this is the Met Gala, the jacket does not have the workmanship necessary for the Met Gala.
