In Feb. 1998 we joined eBay and piddled with it for several years. The most memorable sale was the Poppin' Fresh (Pillsbury Dough Boy) Grandma & Grandpa.

I found them buried in the house among the kids toys (who were grown and gone years ago). I did the research, that was available at that time, and did not find any listed. What did that mean? Nobody wants them or they are rare? We listed them for $9.99 and they sold for $79.00. I was hooked.

We sold & bought things occasionally until we started doing the NM State Fair. Even tho' we were doing the rice necklaces we felt that we needed to round out our offerings. We added the No Headache Sun Visors and the Cool Scarves. After a few years came the Scarves and Shoelaces.

The fair is 17 days long and we had all that merchandise, so we started listing it on eBay. One of our 1st big sales was to a lady in Orlando Florida who bought a selection of the cat & dog scarves to sell as a fund raiser for an Animal Rescue group.

Now we have over 170 different designs of scarves, 100+ different sun visors, 40+ shoelaces and 15+ different cool scarves, most of which are available in multiples at wholesale prices for fundraising and gift giving.

Sometimes 1 Person Makes it All Worthwhile

Being an eBay seller nowadays is a challenge in many ways. With very few exceptions all our buyers are good people and I cherish each and every one of them and their business.

eBay likes to say that all people are generally good. And I guess that is true. It is the bad ones we always hear about and that on rare occasions causes, me as a seller, angst.

Just like Susan Boyd came into our lives, like a meteor, so do the buyers who makes me smile and make me love, what I do even more. When we work at home with little or no interaction with the outside world (other than through the computer) just a few words in an email or feedback, a ho-hum day, can be turned round.

Let me explain - We sold a white Scarf with bright colored Polka Dots on it. http://tinyurl.com/csq7cu The gal who bought it wrote right away and said how happy she was to have found it because she is a clown and will wear it to help people smile. Now that is enough to make me warm all over.

But after she got her package she leaves us this Feedback - BEAUTIFUL SCARVES~GREAT SELLER "HERBS CRAFTS & GREAT GIFTS" THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

We work very hard to give a great buying experience to all our buyers and they have rewarded us with not only with great feedback but right now we have 5.0 stars in all categories.

This gal added Great to our name. Talk about paying it forward. With a short email and creative feedback this gal has spread good humor that I hope will make you feel good too.

And I guess that is what being a clown is all about!! Congratulations to our buyer - she is accomplishing her goal. Thank you so much!!!
