| Thank you ebay for contributing to
my rainy day account; I'm in the money. Look out Warren
Buffet. One of games that I had placed up for auction had a winning
bid of $8.75. The opening bid was $2.00. The bidding escalated
in a flurry during the last thirty minutes of the auction, first to $4.75,
then to $6.75, $8.25, and, finally, to $8.75. Sold to the young person
in the hat by the window. Congratulations. (I wonder if I could
have received a higher bid as someone was scratching their nose at $8.75.
Maybe, they were bidding? I'll learn as I go along.)

Game by 3M. It is "The Game of Campaign Politics" and it is the "highly
I particularly liked my last line of the item description. I did notice that my copy of the game sold for less than for what other copies in similar condition had sold. I noticed one key difference in our item descriptions; other included a scanned image of the game. I believe that a scanned picture of an actual item lends credibility to its existence and enables people to see and review it. The other game, Facts in Five, did not sell at auction. It's opening bid was $2.00. I did receive a few emails during the last few minutes of the auction for the Mr. President game: Perspective or actual bidder: If your on right about now, what would you do for the shipping if I bid and won BOTH of your 3M games listed? Me: Whatever the cost is, that's what I'll charge...it should certainly be less then 2x easily. Perspective or actual bidder: Well, looks like Im unable to afford the President game. Would you consider a $1.00 bid on the Facts In Five game? Me:
If the other game does not sell at auction, I would then be receptive to
offers (I'm just trying to be ethical as the
Perspective or actual bidder: Thanks, the president for 9.00 is too rich for me. Perspective or actual bidder: Congrats on selling the game. We'll see what will become the fate of the 3M Facts in Five Bookshelf Boardgame from 1967. (Any takers out there?) One of the children next door will be having a birthday party with Pokemon as the main theme. I surfed over to Amazon.com (toys), eToys, ToysRus, and KBKids in order to investigate what type of Pokemon toy we could get as a gift; and we (Amy and I) did not find anything that struck our fancy at the time. By the way, I love my wrinkle free khaki slacks from Lands' End. |
