| Winter camping | | Has anyone done winter camping? Would you recommend it or was it just too cold. I'm trying to come with ideas for things to do outdoors this winter instead of staying in the house. | |
| | What is the worst deal you've ever made on eBay? | | For me, it was during the time I was selling with flat rate shipping, for example, all items priced $.99 to $9.99 would be shipped for $5.00 US, with the rest going up from there.I bought an old outdoor portable stove, quite heavy but intact for use with my Girl Scout troop. We never used it and it was still in perfect condition. I found it one day and since it was winter, I threw it on eBay (suggestions of ice fishing, outdoor winter camping, etc came to mind) starting at $2 above what I paid for it. Towards the end of the auction there was some interest, and it finally went for 10X what I bought it for (keep 'yer panties on, it was a whopping $19.99!) and it cost me twice as much to ship it as was the winning bid! I've learned from that experience--weigh everything WITH packing materials using the zip code furthest from you and state the shipping in your listing! | |
