  • Anticipating for better photos

    10:54 PM PST, 1/29/2008

    I must admit that I am not good at taking photos. All of you are very kind and have never complained to me about that, but recently when I tried to take photos of those small furnitures and clothing, I just think my photos SUCK! I can't pick up the light right with my poor Canon. The LCD display shows up the photos great on the camera, but when I download them to the computer, they all become quite dark, and cannot be helped by image editor. I even bought those natural light lamps and test all the illumination in my room. Yet with heavy snow and cloudy days in Canada, I simply do not have the luxury of taking great photo with the beautiful sunlight. Let me see if I can come up with better studio setting, and I do hope to list those wonderful little objects soon.
  • Preparation for all NEW LISTINGS!

    11:05 PM PST, 1/13/2008

    My eBay store is closed for this week so that I could concentrate on preparing all new listings for year 2008. I will be selling the rest of my Barbie collection I think... Well, I always feel like keeping some, and clearing away my Barbie dolls is always a mission impossible it seems.

    I am also adding new categories such as miniature toys and doll outfits.

    I am a bit hesitated to sell my boxed dolls though, as they did not do very well last year. It seems to me eBayers would like to buy deboxed items to save on shipping rather than a boxed doll. I am OK with that, but I really need to put away those space monsters (i.e. the boxed dolls)!

    Let me see what other excuse I could come up with to do another big promotion again. The Christmas and New Year promotions were a lot of fun for both me and my customers. I am glad that I could make that happen. That just cleared away 60% of my 2007 stock. What a record!
