My First eBay Auction
February 25th, 2005
Tonight for the first time I have offered an item for sale through eBay. I created an eBay seller’s account, created a PayPal account, took pictures of the item I want to sell–the Tablet PC I bought back in October at the begining of this most recent flare-up of my technology fetish–and posted the pictures on eBay along with a description of the item.
I paid $1,200 for the computer. I’ve offered to sell it immediately for $1,100, and I’ve set the reserve price at $800. We’ll see what happens.
Writing a description of the computer and taking pictures of it did tempt me to become re-enchanted with it. It’s so delightfully small and thin! And I there are some thinkgs I reall do like about the Tablet platform. But I need the cash. Gotta pay for my U and Toshiba. Next item to offer on eBay: my Pocket PC(s).
