Neglus -- When you posted about it to the PS board, and the pink answered, I wrote directly to her. Within two weeks, I received mine. The card holder is nice and my daughter enjoyed playing with the stickers.

I'll see what I can do. We've had bright beautiful sunshine for about four days now. It's still cold (40's), but the sun is wondeful! More snow flurries are predicted and since we are only a little over 2" away from a record snowfall season, I say - let's go for it.

I'd expect priority parking at least, and maybe a car wash while you shop. Make sure you take out a wad of 100 dollar bills and wave under the seller's nose too. Then try the old "Five bucks for everything in the bag" ploy. Ah, the joys of being a powerseller.

Geese I didn't mean to cause such a ruckus! Neglus I was especially thinking about you having not received the card holder like me. It's a nice card holder and I'm delighted to have earned it!
NOW the most important... I hope everybody got their BJ today or yesterday and will again tomorrow! Hey the sun is shining and the sky is blue today a reason to celebrate!!!

I did not receive mine eBay xmas gifts either. I would not mind having the "card holder," they can keep the Bumper Sticker; I would not have such on my vehicle.
eBay is not paying me enough for me to give them FREE advertising.
Back in the 1980's we had a wild, custom built motor home. Some magazine wanted to put it on their magazine cover. My husband ask what they would be paying us for the privilege. They said nothing, that they thought it an honor to have it appear on their cover. My husband politely told them to "jump in a lake," we were not going to help promote their magazine, and have to put up with the publicity that would result for FREE.
Publicity is the last thing we wanted, we could hardly go anywhere that strangers would come knocking on our door just wanting to see inside the motor home, it was sort of neat at first, but after a few months, it got old very fast. Back then, we traveled with two German Schnauzers, who were loud barkers at strangers, but they will not have attacked anyone, unless we were not in the motor home. When we tired of the constant string of visitors, we just went to the door, we let the Schnauzer go with us, and raise heck, and did not offer to put them up. Most visitors did not take the first step to enter our Motor home with the doggie greeting.
I recall going to Canada, and when returning to the US, we had to go through customs, and we had to go into the US Custom’s office. Naturally, they wanted to “search” the motor home (actually they just wanted a look around), but in that situation there was nothing we could do. It was just a few minutes, and the Custom’s agent came back and told us we would have to leash up our dogs, as the dogs wouldn’t let them in the motor home…..we really got a hoot out of that!
