If you read yesterday’s post you may have noticed that I missed the title off. It’s not the first time I’ve done that, but it is the first time since last year – one of the advantages of my “no title” series of posts. It has a title now, though it didn’t exactly stretch my creativity.
It was a good day in the shop. We had five orders on eBay, one for 32 items I had only loaded yesterday. They were only cheap, but any sale is a good sale. It was one of those double-edged events – glad to make the sale, but slightly regretful that two hours of listing and (complicated) loading of photographs brought such a quick result. Even though it was clearly a masterful bit of listing, it seems like wasted effort when it finishes so quickly.
We then had several customers by appointment, answered phone calls and listed more items for sale. One of the customers was very knowledgeable, and told us so, at length. It’s very tempting to be sarcastic, but I’m better than that.
Then, when I finished loading the new coins, I checked for new sales and found we’d had six sales, one of which was for more than all the sales we’d had overnight. There’s always plenty of room for surprises when you have eBay.
Another surprise was a comment in our feedback, which I liked – “you should be very proud of your staff”. I’m thinking of having it made into a T Shirt.
Dove of Peace on a 1995 £2 coin – this one is gold, the ordinary ones were brass. For those of you from UK, yes they were meant for circulation but they never caught on.
I am sorry that your lot sold so quickly . . . er . . . no I am not.
Today we sold a medallion 20 minutes after we loaded the details. 🙂
A T-shirt sounds good!
🙂
The Dove of Peace is very beautiful. Wish there was more of that sentiment in the world.
It would be a great improvement. 🙂
Oh, Lavinia, me too!
Jodie, I know it’s you. Stop hiding! 🙂
lol That’s so funny. I just can’t figure this stuff out. Will try Derrick’s idea.
Men with beards are, as we all know, are very trustworthy. 🙂
The cure for anonymity is to fill in your details again – or just click on the text in the reader, rather than clicking Visit.
Good advice – thanks Derrick.
This is Jodie. I am anonymous only on Simon’s page. Will try your fix. thank you.
🙂 I see how this is going . . . It’s going to be my fault isn’t it?
Weird that my comment appears to be anonymous; I don’t feel anonymous…
There seems to have been a lot of it about recently. Strange how these problems always seem to occur around the time of “improvements”. 🙂
I can’t decide which is worse, someone constantly blowing their own trumpet, or someone being tediously self-effacing. Both forms of bullshit, I guess!
I know it’s fairly modern, but that dove is pretty. Yes, have a T-shirt made. 😉
