That is IT!

That’s me! Except instead of having it with these mother fucking snakes on this mother fucking plane, I have HAD it with mother fucking people who don’t know how to care for their mother fucking Napoleons!

This Napoleon was suffocating! And when I tore him out of the bubble wrap - (who the HELL puts a Napoleon in bubble wrap!? Not even a Hudson Lowe on crack cocaine would do that!)

- when I tore him out of the bubble wrap…

In a plastic bag! And what’s with the name tag? Did they think that their Napoleon would forget his name?! I mean maybe after he loses all the brain cells from the AIRTIGHT plastic bag?!

Anyway he’s fine now. Thanks to me. Very beautiful, very powerful. Very cute.

Another great day of saving the Napoleon.

#napoleon #is the napoleon cute? #//he was like 5 usd on eBay with free shipping actually the seller did a great job with the packaging highly recommended ebayer tbh

[thesingingrevolution]

people on mercari charging $200 dollars for a game cartridge you could buy used in great condition for $10 on amazon. this is highway robbery

#kpop the main thing it’s good for #cause the ebayers charge $30 + $15 shipping while some kid on mercari ask for $6 + $0.80 shipping and they’ll usually go lower #and the packaging is a million times cuter #consumerist adventures

[loser-lenny]

when i’m sad i go to the reviews people have left me as a buyer on ebay and read them

#”hope to deal with them again” #”awesome ebayer” #”valued customer” #tysm 😭 #you know what the funny part is #my anxiety is too bad 2 review them back #i would write reviews saying they’re great sellers but i can’t do it #lenny rambles

@indigozeal sent me a surprise SKULMUST present and I'm over the fricken moon OuO

The full set of Lunar chibi keychain figurines!!!

I never thought I'd have even one of these guys, let alone the entire set of six, since American ebayers tend to demand $300+ for a full set.

But indigozeal picked these guys up on one of the Japanese auction/2nd hand sites for a reasonable price!

(Which is not helping my resolve in regards to avoiding getting addicted to yahoo-japan again ahahaha... what if I managed to find the Lunar model kits at a good price?? Haha nah, impossible. ...unless.......)

They're so stinkin cute, they make me wish I had Blender and 3d printing skills so I could make the rest of the cast in a similar style ;;~;;

At the very least, I'd like to get them 3d scanned with my Ghaleon punching Puppet head, so other folks could print and paint their own... :3c

I've kinda lost track of who said they could scan for me, tho :o maybe I need to look into 3d scanners myself at this point... :B

ANYWAY! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH, @indigozeal !!! I adore themmmmmm!!! >u<

Ghal: I love and appreciate my good kids.

Alex: ...what did I do??

Augh I'm frustrated.

About a week ago I finally found a complete copy of the Japanese Lunar Legend strategy guild, which contains some rare/unscanned character art, on ebay for around $75 shipped. I jumped on it immediately.

Well this morning the seller cancels my purchase and messages me saying the book has "defects" and they can't sell it to me. >n<

I replied, asking what the defect is, and that I'd happily pay a reduced price for it anyway. They're a Japanese seller, and in my experience Japanese ebayers tend to have way higher standards than American ebayers. If its pages are coming loose, or there's slight water damage or dogears or random tears, I don't mind. Rampant mold and mildew tho I might reconsider....

But their reviews say they're not terribly communicative when it comes to responding to messages, so maybe I should give it up. >n<

I could probably find it for less on yahoo japan auctions, but that requires finding a decent proxy service... and honestly by the time it ships, I would probably have spent around the same price. Weh. (Not to mention having to fight the temptation to search for other goodies on yjauctions...)

Man, I don't appreciate having my frivolous distractions evaporate right now. I was really looking forward to pawing through it. =n=

Guys new webkinz dropped (in my mail)😏‼️ My favorite thing is when Ebayers send me a nice lil note with the toy. Someone gave me a little story and extra buddy once. Anyway, she needs a name. I’m thinking Marsha P Johnson or Trans Icon because of the 🏳️‍⚧️ colors. Or it could just be like, candy themed LOL.

Quite a while back, a french ebayer wanted mint/pink trendy and bendy reroot but was perplexed about her not coming with a body, I found a modern body but they wanted belly button, I found a couple more but they were damaged. This body arrived with the Zig and zag bundle, I notified the buyer, set it up... and they then vanished.

I had de-glued this GG/CEO head as part of an experiment and for gluey photos. Her side parting had short bits and was choppy so I removed all the short hair and moved her parting and went with thermal saran for a quick "turn annoyance to something creative" project. It actually took two sessions, my shoulder said 'nope' with less than half of the parting done.

Her hair hasn't been boil set as I don't know how/if thermal hair is damaged by heat. The mauve colour is quite matte but the pink blends very nicely with her blonde. I still don't like her glacial blue eyes and her silly low smile, I might do a quick overpaint (as if anything is quick LOL) and those lashes are a lil over the top so they might get trimmed.

Anyway, a few days after getting ebay ghosted, someone from the states bought mint/pink trendy and bendy as a lone head ¯\_(°.°)_/¯

It was around 1994 or 95, and I was out shopping with my mom when I saw a red lobster stuffed animal. My mom bought it for me and I called it Pinchy and I loved Pinchy. As with all my stuffed animals my mom cut all the tags off because I didn't like the tags, and I brought that lobster everywhere to the point it got raggedy. It was well played with and well loved.

And here we are today, this eBayer hoping that some crazy person still thinking it's 1998, the height of Beanie Baby mania, will buy a $35,000 Pinchy (apparently his real is Pinchers, but 5 year old me's name Pinchy is better):

So I have seen "proship" used to mean pro-censorship, AND to mean ship whomever you want no matter how tasteless it is or how uncomfortable it makes other people.

Which are opposites?

I'm pro-tagging, myself. Like... you do you but thanks for the warning that you = content I don't want to consume or interact with. You know?

Like when eBayers note that a doll they're selling is a recast. Thanks for the warning.

[jesterinthebox]

I am completely obsessed with these ceramic anthro dog dolls! Would kill to own the poodle but she's far beyond my budget :(

The Cookie Crumbles

You know that Spring can’t be terribly far away when you see these. No, I’m not talking about the first robin red breast you see. I’m not waxing poetic about daffodils popping out with their yellow optimism. Nope. I’m talking green, as in the green of Girl Scouts selling their cookies.



It’s an annual occasion, and it is hard to avoid these hordes of young green-dressed girls and their zealous parents. Because, you know, there are prizes to be won for most sales volume.



This time around, the Girl Scouts have found themselves the victim, if you will, of a very successful new flavor variety. You see, their Raspberry Rally has been so popular that stocks have run out and people are now selling them on eBay. No kidding. Girl Scout cookies. And this particular flavor has prices as high as $350 for just one box.

The Girl Scouts are furious, because they feel like other people are profiting off of their great idea. And I’m not having it.

While the Girl Scouts love to speak of empowering young women, teaching them about entrepreneurship,  and all that noble stuff, it seems they have overlooked some very important aspects of business. If you cannot supply product to meet demand, then a secondary market will ensue. That’s where eBay comes in. It’s really no different from someone scalping a concert ticket for five times face value.

If the Girl Scouts wish to keep all the profits for themselves, they best be figuring out how to produce more of this particular flavor. That’ll shut down the eBayers.

In a strange twist, the Girl Scouts even set up online sales of these cookies, because they deemed it important for girls to know a little bit about e-commerce. I agree on that. It’s just that they should have been doing this for the last 20 years. This is nothing new.



If you’ll forgive my anecdote, let me explain (and expose) their reluctance to embrace e-commerce early this century. My oldest daughter was in the local Girl Scout chapter (or whatever they call them), and early that year, it came time to sell cookies. At the time, I was crafting websites and e-commerce portals for a variety of organizations and businesses. I told my daughter, “I’ll teach you how to build an e-commerce site for your group to sell these cookies,” and she was all ears. After all, I had put a computer mouse in her tiny hand when she was one year old, and this was now first nature.



Personally, I rather like the idea of selling them this way. It sure beats going door-to-door, or shivering outside in the Walmart parking lot. More so, it beats guilting people into parting with their money, either the girls doing it, or their parents. I hate pressured selling.



But the local Girl Scouts were not happy, and shot it down in a heartbeat. “We want the girls to focus on building relationships,” they told me. Wait. You mean you’re all about reinforcing gender stereotypes? What happened to all that empowerment rhetoric?

Oldest daughter really didn’t like the Girl Scouts all that much anyway, so we found the exit. She, just like her younger sister at the moment, went on to major in CIS. Take that and your relationships, Girl Scouts of America.

But back to the task at hand: The Girl Scouts should have been on the technology train for a long time now, and some folks at the top who don’t truly understand entrepreneurship dropped the cookie this year. I realize it can be tough to predict which will sell and which won’t, and that leftover inventory may as well as be chalked up as a loss. That’s why you have contingency plans in place with your contract manufacturers to jump on additional production runs.

Furthermore, to blame eBay and those selling on it also avoids another aspect of a free market economy. Price will be determined where supply meets demand. If you want your girls to become entrepreneurs, they need to drink a few shots of this throat-burning reality.



And at the end of the day—or winter in this case—we really don’t need these cookies. Most of us who have bought them did so to be nice, kind of like every time the Boy Scouts were selling tins of popcorn, and the Little League was hawking something else.

I got over them shutting the door on my daughter. I taught her anyway how to build a site with a shopping cart. It just wasn’t for selling cookies. But I must confess to chuckling just a bit when I read of their current dismay.

Because it appears they don’t understand the most fundamental of relationships in business, that being the one between the two most powerful forces we know. Supply Curve, meet Demand Curve. May your intersection tell us everything we need to know about the value of things.

And speaking of horse books, I seem to have the cursed luck of liking a series that has 1 ridiculously expensive book in the series.

Years ago it was one of the books in the Unicorns of Balinor series by Mary Stanton.(that has since changed)

But nowadays it's one of the Spirit of the West books by Kathleen Duey and Unicorn Chronicles: The Last Hunt by Bruce Coville.

I mean I can always get a library copy to read but like... it makes me angry that just 1 overpriced book is the reason I can't complete my collection. I refuse to pay $70-80 for a paperback book whose target audience are the children that watched Spirit Stallion of the Cinarron back in 2002. :/ I literally watched it trend up in price and regret not buying it when it was 15 dollars. Which is still too much for a massproduced paperback IMO. Just WHY?! 1 scalper on Ebay sets a high price and everyone else follows and then people buy it anyway so the price stays.

While not a horse book this also happend to the The Mighty Thor: Epic Collections I am buying, too. It collects the original run of Marvel's Thor comics from the 60's through the 90's. A few are listed as out of print and the one I am missing is 200 fucking dollars. At this point buying the back issues is cheaper. And until they reprinted them, another one I was missing was hovering between 60-80 when they retail for 39-44. Literally as soon as those books are considered out of print ebayers pull listings and relist them for higher. I watched that happen for the Black Galaxy installment of the series just a month or two apart from each other. And the irony is that when they are in stock, Walmart and sometimes Amazon even mark them down just so they can get rid of them.
