Keystone Cops

I have a love/hate relationship with eBay. I've been buying a lot and selling a little for a couple of years. Don't let anybody fool you, selling on eBay is a ton of work! The cleaning, the pictures, the posting, the terms: it's exhausting for the little to be made. And, if you've sold something that is sentimental to you, the seller, chances are the winning bidder won't have the same rose colored glasses you do and object to the quality. This happened to me once with a baby outfit. I had her send it back for a full refund and the set now rests in my cedar chest with the other things I will never part with. I took that as the eBay god's way of telling me not to sell my baby clothes. Obviously I was selling the wrong things. I've just "won" an auction for a vintage badge from my sorority. I say "won" because, although I am jumping up and down and my heart is still racing, I shelled out a pile of money to keep it out of the hands of evildoers! My little eBay nest egg is empty! People, if you don't want your badges/pins/pledge pins anymore, give them back to your greek letter organization or local chapter. Don't sell them, you will just be giving sentimental sorority girls like me a big, old heart attack.
