eBay Radio Party Vegas 2010 Selling with Integrity Skit

Melinda — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 01:09:45 +0000

This is the first of many posts coming soon to recap the 2nd Annual eBay Radio Party Event. I am thrilled to post one of the first videos, my personal favorite video of the entire event, the Selling with Integrity Skit on eBay Radio. This skit was the brainchild of Danni Ackerman, and starred Kat of KatsKloset, Beverly England (aka Bev) of Video-Town, Danni Ackerman of Udderlygoodstuff, and Jason Smith of TikiPugMusic on eBay!! This skit was both darling and hilarious, fun and educational, and showed all who watch it the feeling of community had by all who attended this fabulous two day event!

Many thanks to eBetsy, Lee Mirabal, Melissa DeMille, Elise Mirabal, John Mirabal, and the rest of the eBay Radio Staffers to made this event possible! It was an honor to work with you all and I look forward to next year’s event!

Thank you to eBay Andy, Andrew Chase, TSAM, for posting this video for me and for his your coverage of this event on eBay Ink! Be sure to check out his entire post here on eBayInkBlog.com. Thank you RBH for making Andy’s attendance to this event possible!

You can view many photos already uploaded so far by clicking here! I look forward to your comments to this video!! Be sure and include your stores links for good spider food!! I am happy to promote you who support RRB Radio!

I’ll see many of you soon at the Chicago eBay On Location Event!! eCommerce Merchants is again hosting the eBay OL Reception, so if you are attending, we are hosting the party and you can go here to register to attend the affair Friday night!

Jen Cano of Hammertap joined The River the Ranch and the Bay (RRB Radio) with “What’s Hot on eBay” and updates on where Zhu Zhu pet sales are now! This was a great show! Jen gave us an update on the famous, or should I say infamous, Zhu Zhu Pets, the adorable toy hamsters elusive to buyers in local stores as eBayers raked shelves and sold them on eBay. These darling creatures even made it on eBayInkBlog.com, as posted 12-09-09, It’s a Hamster Holiday, complete with a heat map, a visual indicator of all U.S.-based transactions that occurred on eBay from November 1 to November 30, 2009. After a few hamster giggles, Jen gives RRB Radio listeners research information on bibles that is money in the bank! Jen’s tips include, what bibles are selling for the most money, what features to look for, what is the average sell through rate (STR) for bibles on eBay, and so much more. Finally she gives tips for selling depression glass and salt and pepper shakers, and what color glass sells the best. We have had the honor of having Jen Cano on RRB Radio several times in recent months, be sure to check out the archives of 11-11-09 and 11-18-09 for more research tips, and how important research is to selling items on eBay! Click here to listen to this entire show of 12-16-09, get some giggles and a lot of great info!

Hanging with the Folks in Atlanta

Melinda — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 06:42:37 +0000

I promised to keep everyone updated as much as possible about Atlanta and the ECMTA/PESA summit. I didn’t arrive until 10:30 PM local time so I expected to head straight to the Hotel and BED to prepare for a big day. However, I forgot, LOL, that I was here with The Melinda, LOL So we headed out to meet ‘the gang’ at Joe’s restaurant for some Karaoke. I missed the Country Performance by Usher Lieberman but was just in time to hear Randy Smythe and Melinda belt out ‘Take The Money & Run’ . THAT was worth the trip. Here’s to karaoke and good company!
