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!
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!
