I sold my first item on E-Bay today. It was so fun!! After months of no hits on my pocket folders via the Knot, I figured I needed to take a new approach. Being a huge E-Bay whore, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to at least let the invitations sit out there in cyber space. Today was the last day for the listing. When I woke up, I had one person watching the auction. That alone made me happy! A potential buyer—wahoo!

With about 4 hours left she made a bid, my asking price of $45. (Smile) Not long after that, she was countered with another offer of $46. I had 2 bidders! Whee! My day was just getting better and better. With about 5 minutes left in the auction, and the $46 bid still going strong, I ducked out to check in with my Military Brides.

At 20:56 (EST), my Yahoo! Messenger informed me that my item had in fact sold. When I clicked on my new email, the item had sold for $57! I was sorry I missed that bidding war!! I couldn’t believe how much had happened in the last 5 minutes! Not only that, I was lucky enough to have a wonderful E-Bayer who promptly paid me through Paypal. (Big grin) And not that it REALLY matters, but I managed to make $4 more than what I orginally paid for the pocketfolders. 

As soon as the post office opens up on Tuesday, I’ll be shipping her invitations. How exciting. Something from my wedding is going towards another bride’s wedding. Sunrise, sunset. ;0)

BTW, I am fully aware of the dorkiness of this blog. But it was my first E-Bay sell. I’m allowed to be dorky.
