Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

OMG I can't wait to see how much it goes for! Anything over $10 is a winner. Plus, we haven't had this much fun in a long time! This is great. How many days you putting it on auction for. At least 7?
I was going to start the bidding at $19.99, with $8 for shipping, and list it for 7 days. Think I should start it at $9.99 instead? Didn't want to go too low & have people think it's a cheap knock-off or something!

Either way will work. Plus I saw on other listings, they put guaranteed authentic, which I am sure it is. Authentically ugly, that is...............

I wonder if the item # is in the purse to list also. Looks great though!
Since there are no tags, there's no way to know which "model" it is. The ones I see on ebay have tags, and are the "Rosalyn Wristlet" from the "Melbourne Collection". But, I can't state that since I don't know for sure.

Are you going to put a buy now price of like 69.99? Or 74.99? It would be cool if someone just outright bought it!

LOL!!!!! Yeah, I saw the "guaranteed authentic" stuff too, but can't state that either - and don't think saying it's "guaranteed ugly" is going to help our cause! LMAOLMAOLMAO

Perfect! Thanks so much!! Sorry, don't mean to make you work for it, but I just needed a little additional information.
Is the inside a beige ultra suede like material like the current listing on ebay?
Think we will just charge a flat $8 for shipping, Priority Mail, not flat-rate box.
Will that be a problem for you? You said last night that the PO was close to your house.
Trust me -- working to get it out of my home is NO problem. I just didn't even want to touch it another time. I'm surprised my scanner didn't collapse when it saw that color again. Although it did whimper a bit.

The inside is the standard beige suede with BRAHMIN all over it and the zippered pocket.

There's a big PO a few blocks from where I volunteer so speeding it on its way will be easy and quite enjoyable. Of course I'll have to wrap the whole thing in aluminum foil before I take it on the bus. It would probably interfere with cell phone reception otherwise.

By the by, has everyone noticed that it did NOT get even one tiny bit less butt ugly than it was yesterday? Age ain't helping, folks.

I thought about doing a BIN, but not for that much, since it doesn't have the tags. Maybe $50?

OMG! You are soooooo stinkin' funny!!!!!
I'm going to add the bit about the interior to the listing & get it submitted.
If you can stand it, check out the listing when I post a link here. (just don't let your scanner see it - wouldn't want it to self destruct!)

Yeah, I uploaded the second one. What do you think of the listing I just posted?
The listing is wonderful EXCEPT the part that says "contact me if you have questions." What are you going to tell them if they ask any questions about its attractiveness or if it's a "true" canary yellow (like any canary would be caught dead in that shade)?

List the starting price at anything you want. You obviously can't do a "Buy Now" at the same price as the others because I don't have the papers. But anything over the shipping cost will be gravy, so I'm game for whatever works.

I seriously would go like 69.99. No denying it is authentic, so if someone wants it, they will know it is authentic when they get it. Plus, if you put too low a BIN, bidding will probably be less!

Ahem. We're trying to sell it here. If you weren't correct, I'd be offended.

I didn't mean to offend you! But I am now on my second depends. First one turned canary yellow! LOL. I really think she should BIN ay 69.99, because we know it is authentic, since noone in their right mind would try to copy that lovely accessory piece of yours! No model # inside of it is there?

My wife and I sold a lot of stuff on ebay, but it's been a few years. If you put a BIN look through the completed auctions for same items and average out what they sold for.... add to or subtract from the average for the BIN price. If a bunch of people were bidding on like items, go on the upper end of average. If only a few were bidding go low on the BIN. Free shipping with BIN also works. Should be able to ship that thing anywhere in the US for 8 bucks or less
