New & Interesting...

Blogging has been a great 
outlet for me to be creative & get some thoughts on paper.

But, most of all 
I hope to make this a place where my friends 
can come to find out about 
new & interesting 
topics.

Today, I wanted to introduce EGGDROP


I did what I said I was going to do ---> clean out my closet from hell.

It took me almost half a day, but I did it.

I have a HUGE pile of clothing, shoes, purses & stuff that I purged.

I was looking for a place to post it for sale thinking 
I could make a little money to go buy some new wears.
Instead of lugging it to the local consignment shop.

I looked at Etsy - they only do Vintage clothing.
I checked ebay - the fee to post is kinds high.
I checked Craigslist - it takes a lot of time.
I looked on the internet...
& found
bonanza
thredup
dresm
style.ly
They all are okay to sell on... BUT, I found it a hassle to post.


So, months back I was with friends and someone showed me EGGDROP.
We fooled around with it that night selling a cold drink... lol

I was laying in bed yesterday morning and thought, why not.

So I popped up, grabbed my phone & started taking pictures.

It really is as simple as that!

You take the picture, add the description, the price and post it.
and, there is no fee to post, sell or buy!

Your listing not only can be posted on Eggdrop for sale
but, you can by only a click of a button
post it on twitter & facebook
then, it gives an option to post your items to Craigslist.

All in a timeframe of maybe 3 minutes an item!

Now, I know selling stuff is a hassle & all
but just learning the app was great!

I LOVE new technology!

Eggdrop is mainly used for local sales
so this means people will be stopping by your
house to get their purchases --> much like Craigslist.

What I decided to do was add a line telling the viewer
 that they can have their purchase shipped for an additional fee
& that I accept paypal.
Tada!
Just like if I posted it on one of the above sites but, you get much more exposure.

Another great feature is on Eggdrop you can make an offer for the item.
If you do not want to pay the listed price then you can offer your own.
Genius!

Try it out and let me know what you think.
Clean the clutter away & make some money from it already!
(if you don't someone else will when you donate or consign it)

While you are there,
 check my sales out
& buy some of my stuff! ;) lol
