Finding the Hidden Cash in Your Home: ebay Style

I wouldn’t say I’m officially a ‘hoarder’…. definitely not by the scary examples you see on TV, but I have always had a hard time parting with things.  This makes me a great candidate for cleaning house and turning what might be considered my ‘trash’ into someone else’s treasure….

Let me explain.

With the holidays coming I have grand plans for us.  That’s you and me.

And, as much as I would like to say those plans include buying for me….like a little Kate Spade…. or some new wine glasses I understand we are  working on *selling* together.

And what fun will it be to have additional cash as look for presents this season.

Since we are getting started together – I’ll confess that I’ve only ever sold a few things – I’m a much more successful ebay BUYER than I have been a SELLER, but the goal here is for you and I to find the hidden cash that is sitting on our shelves, in our closets and under our beds – and better yet – how can we utilize ebay EASILY to make it happen.

Here is where to start:  the seller information page will give you basic information. Once we’ve done it a couple of times, I bet it will be easy. There is even a fashion selling guide if we want to start wtih clothes and accessories and need ideas.

How to go from Curly to Straight Hair with the Remington Wet to Straight Flat Iron

When I was at BlogHer in New York City, I went to the Getting Gorgeous Event hosted by the lovely Audrey McClelland and Vera Sweeney .  Naturally, I had a wonderful time.  There were friends to hug, products to try and gorgeous for the getting :)

When we left, they handed us these bags FULL of amazing items.  One of them, the Remington Wet to Straight Flat Iron both fascinated me and left me feeling, I’ll admit it, skeptical.  I have big hair.  Thick, curly, hard-to-manage-I-only-wash-it-every-5-or-6-days-kind-of-hair.  Because it is just such a huge pain to do.  (Audrey says I need a Brazilian blow-out…and I mean I want one, but again – with all the hair?  It is like a bazillion dollars to get it done. I digress.)  So, I wondered if it was even possible if this (amazingly priced) flat iron could POSSIBLY tackle my hair. (Hint: yes)

Here’s the video. (And I apologize in advance for the lack of makeup-ness.  Try not to be frightened.)

And here’s where you can buy it online if you so choose.  (P.S. – this isn’t an affiliate link….and no one asked me to write about this :)
