Estate Sales, FBM, and a Moped

I recently sold a moped ($200) on FBM and gave another away for parts. I received cash and later realized I couldn’t put it in my online bank account. My only use for it was as “fun money.” So this week I’ve been treating myself to crafted coffee at the local Packhouse drive thru. I’ve also been buying goods on FBM using the cash. I had them in my garage for many years and my family wanted them…

My Wordads Experience (Q3-4)

Previous Article – My WordAds Experience (Q2) I got so busy with my eBay reselling that I forgot I had this series of posts I had said I would run. It is now partway through Q1 of 2025, so I have a little catching up. Q3 – July, August, and September Site traffic for these months was roughly the same as the previous period. But I did see an uptick in the amount of ads displayed. I would…

Self Charging Car SCAM

It’s back. This scam will just not die. I was recently contacted by an older relative who had seen the news and was excited about the technology. I had to explain, with some difficulty, that it was a scam. Although this particular hoax has been debunked by several news outlets globally, it continues to get traction on social media. One source in particular continues to peddle this financial…

An excellent recovery

A couple of years ago, I tried my hand at dividend hopping. The strategy was to buy a stock in time to qualify for earning a dividend and then sell it right after—”Hopping” from one dividend to the next. I had two successful jumps before I encountered problems. I managed over a thousand dollars with a few special dividends that showed up quickly. My fourth stock became an issue, partly because I…

Readjusting to normal sales

Now that the holidays are over I have seen a big drop in the number of weekly sales on eBay. I had gotten used to the idea of getting 3 or more orders in a day or having an arm load of packages to take to the post office each week. Since December 30th, I have had only 2 sales. I sold a Columbia women’s vented fishing jacket and some O’Neil men’s red board shorts. I did miss a few days of…

Delta Skymiles Blue

Over the years I have used my Delta Blue to fly to JFK in New York City a couple times to visit family. I also had a wonderful flight to Guadaloupe for a Caribbean sailing trip. Earlier this year I gifted my accrued miles to my mother so she could fly to Lisbon, Portugal, to visit her guru, Mooji-baba. I’ve had my Delta Blue since 2018. Before that, I had a Delta Debit card from Sun Trust. I…

Counterfeits

I dodged a bullet so to speak. On my last run to the Treasure Hunt store, I saw some water filters missing a box but otherwise sealed. I decided against buying them on a whim. It turns out those water filters were fakes. I’ve been researching the products I bought and came across some public notices issued by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) that listed Ecley as falsely claiming to be…

Seeking Treasures...

Unfortunately, I haven’t had any luck in reselling any of the items I picked up at the Treasure Hunt Liquidators Mega Store that I visited last week. I was quite excited to pick up all of those Levi’s work shirts, especially in Big & Tall attire. The excitement was soon tempered as I got many views but no bites on my eBay listings. I was hoping to see some solid movement since we are in Q4, the…
