As I write this, there are currently 7307 auctions listed in the OLA Rummage Sale. Some people have continued listing items to end on May 8, 2008, even knowing that they would not have the exposure gained by items that were listed earlier in the week.
New items keep appearing, and there are still a huge variety of items without bids [at this time]. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to grab a great item for a steal!!!! Whether you are looking for home decor, computer parts, electronic gadgets and games, pet items, housewares, clothing ~ the list really does go on and on ~ there is something in the OLA Rummage Sale for everyone!

A number of new members have introduced themselves in our chat rooms ~ and everyone is welcomed warmly!! Many new members have questions, and the members of OLA are always there to answer and help out as much as possible. And let’s not forget the unheard of warmth of the OLA Customer Service department, which is literally only a phone call away!
The rummage sale is slowly coming to a close, but the excitement of the participating members is still evident. Many are speculating on how many bids their items will actually receive, everyone seems thrilled with the number of new members who are coming into the chat rooms.
Will the OLA Rummage Sale be a success? I think that it already has been a tremendous success. It has brought the members of OLA together for a common goal, something that is not found on other auction websites. The unity is felt and seen in the chat rooms, and no one can argue all that the OLA staff have also done to make this sale a success, from making a new category to adding a link on the home page.
And lets not forget OLA’s donation of the Dell Laptop Computers to the sale! All proceeds will be donated to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital!
The excitement continues for Onlineauction.com members!!

Many people are still listing items, some are finished listing and anxiously waiting for the fun to begin. Items are scheduled to begin at 12:01 am on May 1, and items will be listed throughout the day until 11:59 pm.
OnlineAuction.com has graciously donated 2 Dell laptop computers for the event [to start at .99!!!], and several members have listed collectibles, one-of-a-kind items, antiques, name brand clothing, you name it, chances are you will find it on OLA.
Maybe OLA is the place where IT has gone?!?!?

The May 1, 2008 Ebay Sellers and Buyers Boycott is only hours away from us!! Hundreds, possibly thousands, of eBay members have planned and organized this event for months, due to the massive changes that eBay began implementing in at the beginning of 2008.
I did plan to participate in the boycott that took place in February, 2008. I did actively research the boycott and the changes that eBay had announced prior to that. However, while I support the upcoming boycott, I have not participated in any boycott of eBay. I didn’t boycott ~ I left. In late January, 2008, I moved my listings to onlineauction.com. Yes, I have sparingly listed items on eBay, when the offered promotions and when it benefited me. However, I have not had a monthly bill from eBay of more than $3.00 since January.
I do support the boycott, but I honestly believe that it will have little to no effect on the politics of eBay. EBay has already made it clear that they do not want the “little seler,” and that those sellers that do decide to leave will either come back or be replaced. In reality, eBay can do that. I relate it to Wal-Mart or any other big chain. If a few thousand people didn’t buy from their stores anymore, they wouldn’t even begin to feel the impact.
EBay will never be what it once was. That is why I have chosen to make my home elsewhere. At ola.com, I can be a part of the future of the site, and my opinion does matter.
So ask yourself, will you boycott ~~ or is it time to leave?
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!!!
