Auctiva Emporium: gulf-war-vet

I'M NOT GOING TO WRITE A BLOG BECAUSE NOBODY READS THESE AND AUCTIVA STILL LISTS IT AS A NEW FEATURE. AREN'T BLOGS A THING OF THE PAST?

This is one of the coolest things I've listed on ebay, this accordion / accordiana by Excelsior, made in Italy, Model 305, 3-key action (oboe, master and bassoon). It is a beautiful red and white pearlesque color and in wonderful condition. I've listed musical instruments before, but nothing this beautiful. I don't know how to play it, nor do I know anyone else who plays, but whoever gets this is going to be pleased! I've also listed it on mine and my brothers website: BlazingGoodDeals.com so check it out, along with our thousands of other items.

Beanie Baby / babies toys were all the rage in the 1990's, but some feel they have fell out of vogue. I still collect them, and cannot pass them up if they are in mint condition, as all my stuffed toys are. The Harmon family has also started a website; BlazingGoodDeals.com where you can find great deals on all sorts of items including: sport cards, collectibles, vintage camping equipment and more! This Beanie Baby is named Echo the dolphin or porpoise, and is a classic rare toy!

I have two vintage Shasta SC's, both 1961, together the would make one complete trailer, I have the stove, fridge, hardware, all parts for a complete vintage travel trailer restoration. I also have a 1969 Aloha, a 1962 Midway, a 1958 playmor, a 1970 Boler and a StarCraft Starcruiser, all awaiting sale or restoration. I also love; Airstream, Aloja, Aristocrat, Streamline, Silver Streaks and all other vintage camping trailers and accessories. My name is Neal Harmon, does anyone read these things? Am I wasting my time on a blog?

I have so many cookbooks! I have been collecting them for years, and literally have thousands of them from all over the country and the world! It started out as a small collection for learning to cook, and turned into a massive collection, that fills all shelves in my house, which are everywhere by the way! I have all types, American, Europeon, Middle Eastern, Oriental, Church books, School Books, Fraternal Organization cookbooks, Vegitarian, Vegan, All Natural, and so many more! I downsized houses, so my wife is making me get rid of most of them so we have more room, and I'm selling them cheap! Most are vintage, and the great majority of them are from California, Oregon, and Washington States. I got many of them while living in Sacramento, California. I also have tons of clipped recipes, Kitchen items, utensils, cakepans / molds and more. I would love to keep my wonderful collection, but it's just not possible given the room I have to work with, so come visit my ebay or auctiva store and get some bargains of a lifetime! I'm happy to combine shipping to make it cheaper for you, and I can even ship them cheaply overseas if quite a few are purchased via Media Bag Intl. from USPS. Thanks for reading and looking! Neal

I've been selling cookbooks on ebay for awhile now, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to how they sell. Some I've listed multiple times, and lost money by listing them, only to have it sell on another go round for an incredible amount. I usually try to schedule my listings on Sunday's, so they end on the same time the following week, as Sunday's are the day that has the most ebay traffic. Sometimes things are slower on ebay during the summer, because people have so many other things to do, but instead of taking a break like I usually do during the summer months, I plan on listing twice as much! My wife is really getting onto me about my cookbook collection because it takes up so much room, so she's making me get rid of most of them, plus a lot of other stuff I have.

I've got a couple of books for sale about gardening, used to collect those also. My family business for most of my life was a plant nursery, so I consider myself an expert if anyone wants to know about this. One of the books I'm selling is called eating better for less, which is really a guide to managing your personal food supply. Important stuff!

It's always a dilema to me whether or not to relist an item that doesn't sell or not. Ebay fees have gotten so high, it's quite a gamble, it's not unusual for me to have three or four hundred dollars worth of ebay fees at any given time. I hope people realize how much it costs to list on ebay. When I have to relist something, I'm just hoping it sells on the second go round just so I break even.
