Most weekends I take the kids SOMEWHERE, just to get them out of the house. During the summer, it was swimming, almost every day and then on the weekends as well. In the fall, we generally go to the parks around us and host cookouts for our friends. But since school just started, I can’t seem to be able to find the energy or the desire to spend 6 days a week going and doing. This was the 1st weekend after school started, and I honestly haven’t YET heard “Can we go…….” Ahhhh, sweet peace.
NOT!!!
Yesterday I sold several items at www.onlineauction.com I am grateful for every purchase that I make, but I felt the need to re-stock my items. Since Tama wanted to play on the pc, I thought I’d take the opportuntiy to spend some time in the garage getting things ready to list. You would not believe how much stuff is out there!! I could just grab a box without looking and have plenty to sell!
So I found a variety of things to list [toys, books, collectibles, a picture frame, and more], and set about taking pictures in between washing clothes. Meanwhile, Tama is plugging away at her game. About two hours later, I let T know that I was ready to list.
I’m not exagerating when I tell you ~ It took me a good 4-5 hours to list those 30 or so items!!
My kids are normally self sufficient and often referred to as “good kids.” Let me tell you, yesterday I had never before seen my children so needy! Not to mention that every toy I listed Tama wanted [though she already has the same thing, which she can’t find]! And they also know that this is what makes money for their Christmas presents and any extras they want along the way [heck, it NEEDS to be paying the bills right now!!!]
The plan was to list more today, but I think yesterday still has me a bit discouraged. So instead I’m going to do a lot of “advertising” for ola today. At least then I won’t feel as rushed and walking away won’t be an issue.
I’m not going to be posting lots of pictures, but please come by to check out my new wares. I have listed Spongebob, batman, Bratz, books, a Pokemon Book, a vintage cookbook, a couple of vintage craft books, and so much more!
Can you believe this? Summer doesn’t seem to last as long as it once did. Here in The Valley of The Sun, it’s already time to send the kids off to school ~ again. With one in elementary school and one in high school, I guess I have the best of both worlds [well, not really!] But at least I do have the joy of sending one off with stylish clothes and brand name back packs and lunch boxes, while I listen to the other count down his days to freedom! LOL! There are areas where they seem to meet in the middle, though, with ipods and gameboys, friends and plans that seem to fill everyday of MY week!
Tomorrow, I’ll send them to school with their new shoes and backpacks filled to the brim. And before you know it, the pools will be closing for the season and we’ll be getting ready for the holidays. But at least we’re having fun!
Be sure to check out my auctions at www.onlineauction.com for a few interesing items that might come in handy during this back to school season. And don’t forget to browse other members’ auctions, where you’re sure to find all the mechanical pencils, erasers, notebooks, and backpacks that you’ll need to be sure this is a smooth transition, for whatever grade your “little one” is entering this year!
Check out these few items to get you started!

Been gone a while, with lots of things going on. Had a great visit with my mother who was here for 3 weeks! Now, between work and home, there seems to be no rest for the weary [lol]! Time to get the kids ready to go back to school, at least Tama is excited about it [though that will change ith time, no doubt]. Cameron is at the point where he is counting down the years he has left!
Just wanted to share some of the newest happenings at www.onlineauction.com The site is growing by leaps and bounds with new upgrades, their own sponsored radio program, and now introducing Google Groups!
Esteemed member MetzyMom, at the suggestion of kaysatticspace, has implemented out own Google Group. This is a place outside of www.onlineauction.com , created by and for the members, where we can join together to discuss items we are selling, items we are looking for, recent changes at OLA, changes we would like to see, and really anything of interest that pertains to our Online Auction World.
This is NOT an OLA members-only group, anyone interested is welcome to come in and stop by. The main rule is that you “behave” and play nice [aren’t we adults, after all]! This is a moderated group, with membership needing approval. And this is NOT and OLA Afiliated Group. It was created by the members, not the staff [though staff would no doubt be welcome!]
Stop in and join us, give us your insight as a seller, a buyer, or a browser. All input will be welcome and appreciated

Don’t hesitate to listen to Dave and Sparky, along with Callmemomo with their update of the Rummage Sale at http://feed.basicstobusiness.com/
And don’t miss out on the Rummage sale!!!! http://tinyurl.com/44vhg8
Yesterday was a huge day for OnlineAuction members! With over 300 sellers participating in the Huge Rummage Sale Event, a total of 6600 items can now be found listed in OLA’s Rummage Sale Category.
Buyers and sellers wasted no time in searching through the many listings for items that they just couldn’t live without! Many items already have numerous bids, only a day into the sell. Many more items are yet to be discovered as members “rummage” through the many listings.
At the sale, you are sure to find items that you wouldn’t even think of, items of great value, even that one item that you have been looking for with no luck ~~ until now!!!!
As the weekend approached, many sellers are anticipating a huge influx of activity. Regardless of the outcome, sellers who have spent their time and efforts organizing this event are STILL HAVING FUN as the event unfolds.
Keep watch, there is already talk amongst sellers as to what their next event might be.
To visit the sale and do your own “rummaging” go to http://tinyurl.com/44vhg8
With just over 3 days left until The Huge Rummage Sale, you can literally feel the excitement of the members using the chat rooms!
Today the number of seller officially participating in the Rummage Sale rose to 312 [and counting]. All of those sellers made a commitment of at least 10 items in the rummage sale, but when roaming through the chat rooms, it’s easy to tell that most sellers have surpassed that number immensely! Many sellers have finished listing items for the rummage sale, but even they know that listing the items was the easy part ~~~
Sellers are still handing out flyers in every place that they can think of. Still other sellers continue listing the Rummage Sale on online advertising websites. A number of sellers have e-mailed past customers or added information to all of their outgoing emails. So much is being done by so many members, how could it be anything but a success?
Many sellers have previewed some of the items they have listed for the sale, but no one can be certain what, or how many, items will be listed as a part of the event. But we can be sure that through all the elcectronics, collectibles, home decor, clothing, children’s items, books, and more, there will certainly be something for everybody.
Stop by, check it out. You just might find the game your child has been begging you to buy, the hard-to-find piece to add to your collection, or that one thing that you just can’t say no to!!!
I want to take a moment to introduce you to the revolutionary online auction website that is sure to change the way people think of online auctions.
I joined www.onlineauction.com in December 2007, and became a seller in January 2008. At that time, I stopped listing items for sale on other auction venues completely. Not only will you find nice, friendly people who share your interest and become your friends, but the support there is unbelievable, from other members and the staff of OLA.
For me, the ever changing policies of Ebay coupled with the steady increases in fees made the decision to list on OLA an easy decision to make. Membership is constantly growing in numbers, and there are always new people coming into the chat rooms to say hello!
Take a minute to review the following break-down of charges and what you can expect from joining OLA [adapted by a post written by member BeverlyJ] and then Come Join The Fun!!!
Whether you are a buyer or a seller, OLA has something for everyone!!!!
