Charity Auction of Museum's Teddy Bears to Benefit Children's Center, Naples, Fla.
2,000 collectible teddy bears from the former Naples (Fla.) Teddy Bear Museum are being sold in ongoing eBay auctions to raise funds for a children's center.
Charity Auction of Museums Teddy Bears to Benefit Childrens Center, Naples, Fla.
The Full Story:
The YMCA is proud to announce the ongoing eBay auctions of collectible teddy bears to benefit the new YMCA Gaynor Child Development Center, on the former site of the Naples Teddy Bear Museum. The Museum, founded by local resident and philanthropist Frances Pew Hayes, closed its doors in 2005 after Mrs. Hayes passed away.
According to Tim Luke of Treasure Quest Appraisal Group, “The collection from the Naples Teddy Bear Museum showcased the creativity and craftsmanship of teddy bear artists and manufacturers from around the world. The collection spans time periods of manufacturing but has a high concentration in contemporary bears and overall is in excellent condition. It is very appropriate that the proceeds of this auction will provide children with the needed facility and services, proving once again teddy bears can make a difference in a child’s life.”
The auction of the teddy bears is being handled by the Naples iSOLD It eBay Store. The best way to find these teddy bears on eBay is to search in eBay using the search terms NAPLES TEDDY BEAR. You can also find the collection through eBay using the seller's id: isoldit.fl0121. The bears will be added to eBay at 10-20 per day, so please keep checking the website. http://www.news-antique.com/?id=785462&keys=Charity-TeddyBear-Collectibles-eBay |

They say everyone has about $2K worth of items in their house that they can sell on ebay. Selling on eBay can be a nice way to bring in some extra money. I've been selling items on ebay since earlier this year, mostly clothes that my children have outgrown. There have been times when I've been more successful at it and times when nothing has sold at all. Overall though, I've done pretty well and have been able to use my spending money on things that don't fit in the budget. What I've found with selling children's clothes is that brand name clothes definitely sell the best and I've been amazed at what people will pay for used clothing. With the recent struggles in our economy it's been more challenging to sell items. I'm finding that it is better to list items very low to attract bidders. In the past it seemed that people were willing to bid almost no matter the list price but I think bidders are more cautious and selective now. It also seems that offering free shipping is very appealing to bidders as well. With Christmas coming, it helps to make some extra money selling on ebay and I've been reading some of the posted articles on iSold It on eBay to get some ideas on how to better sell my items. It's helpful to read about other peoples experiences with selling and what they've found that works. I can use all the help I can get:)

As my loyal Roxiticus Desperate Housewives readers know, I have bad luck with technology. Everything I buy breaks down, and my most recent bummer came from the error messages spewing out of our four-years-and-a-few-days-old Xerox Phaser 8400N, not long out of its extended warranty. I've already replaced it with a new one and started the process of finding someone to take the broken printer off my hands... FREE for pick-up at my office in New York City. As I investigated the possibility of selling on eBay, I found a couple of different companies selling refurbished Xerox Phasers on eBay and hoped they would buy mine, or at least get it out of my office. I've also posted it on Craig's List and considered listing the broken Xerox Phaser 8400N on eBay, but selling such a bulky item on eBay, given shipping charges, is not as easy as I had hoped it would be. |

Lets face it blogging is two things today 1) online magazine format and/or 2) collaborative blogging effort or platform. Paul’s argument talks about solo bloggers trying to compete with online magazines and the difficulty in competing with their volumes of posts. But Paul Boutin misses the point that the collaborative side of blogging is just as relevant as trying to get on the page view treadmill. The trend is toward collaborative blogging not walled garden ‘protect pageviews at all cost’ type blogging. Fact is Jason and Robert are broadcasting. They are not really collaborating with anyone. Jason promotes his brand and his new company. Robert the same except Robert is more conversational often amplifying what other people say. They both don’t have enough original ideas and content to compete in the market today on the pageview model. That is why they go private and/or use other tools. |

A while ago, I looked around my home and began to think of how much excess stuff I possessed. Not junk. Not worthless by any means. Just excess. I'm not a natural hoarder, but I don't throw something away if it's in good condition or has some monetary value to it. No, I just had a huge excess of things that I just didn't use or need. I had been thinking of doing a little decorating and having a general sort out, but what on earth do you do with so much stuff that is filling up every spare inch of cupboard and draw space?
