I sell under several accounts on eBay for various reasons.
Did you ever make a sale that you made so much profit of it you were almost...embarassed?
Tonight I had something sell that I paid for, 3 years ago, about $10. It sold for almost $300 - this being under another of my eBay names, not libbyparsons.
I was flabberghasted. I still am. Surely this person must have been looking for this widget for quite some time. I have never ever had snipers do such a great job for me.
I think I need to lie down.

Because I feel like the item wasn't worth that much!
The buyer had a feedback of almost 200, many recent, no negatives or neutrals. All said "Prompt payment', etc.
This would finish me off for Christmas. I would be done with my buying!

Two weeks ago I sold something that I paid $20 for. It was probably worth $400.00 tops and it sold for over $1200.00. I was stunned. Got a certified check in the mail and got the cash. That was once in a lifetime deal.<p>Not paws4God on ebay.

Last summer I bought 3 identical items for $10 each. Sold them for $405, $557 and $685. Funny how I remember the details so clearly, but on this item, I do. There was always a twinge of guilt in the back on my mind. But the buyers were pleased, and I learned to live with it. It is deals lile this that keep me addicted to eBay in the first place.

Now I have to hope they are happy with their purchases.
The items are not mis represented in any way...but when someone pays so much for something...you know

Gee, and I felt guilty on my $81 sale (paid $3.00 for it!) Or my $10 item that sold for $100.! I can ONLY DREAM of the profits you people are getting! LOL

Oh my god TRUST ME this has NEVER happened to me before and it probably never will again. I think my biggest profit ever was not even $50 and I've been on eBay off and on for something around 2 years.
I'm just loving it and I pray that the good feedback on the winners stays that way long enough for them to pay me
And it's not on my libbyparsons eBay ID, mind you

I do not mean to imply that deals like the one I mentioned above happen very often. In 3 years, that was my favorite. Everyone gets their 15 minutes.
