When I returned home from Europe, I was bored out of my mind. I had cleaned the whole house and it was driving me crazy. I then decided I was going to get on Ebay and try my hand at selling things. My dad has told me for over a year and a half that he will get on Ebay and sell my college books. I decided I was going to do it for him. I looked up everything, made sure I wasn't going to make a stupid mistake (I tend to make those often) and I put up for Auction and Buy Now my Music Appreciation textbook. I got so excited after that that I put up my Music Sight Singing book and my Communications book. I was a little nervous after this, because I wasn't sure if my dad had really wanted to do this himself. So when he called later that day, I told him what I had done, and to my surprise, he was super happy about it!! He told me he was proud, which just made my day! Not even a day later one of my books sold for 40 dollars and I was over the moon! Yay money I didn't have before!
But now I've run into a snag.
Have you ever looked into everything that's on Ebay? They have EVERYTHING! And to combine this with a Pinterest account, you have an extreme problem. I found an idea on Pinterest that has the binding of books on a wooden box, so you can put it on your shelf, and no one knows it's a box! Isnt' that neat???! Now, my plan is to combine it with the tutorial I found on how to cut a hollow in a book, and turn it into a book box, literally. Then it's a complete hidden box!!
So now I'm watching about 5 different Black Stallion books that are at 99 cents. (How I'm going to bear to cut holes in the books that formed my middle school childhood I have no idea). How I'm going to magically come up with this money I have no idea of either.
Ebay is also home to a million different Disney things. Seeing that this blog is supposed to be based off of my obsession for Disney, this is finally going to explain things. I found a treasure trove last night, and it's threatening to take all of my money. First off, my original search was for Bambi fleece. I had some when I was in middle school, and it got ruined, and I've had my eye out for it ever since. It was nowhere to be found. But then I found a Bambi stuffed animal. IT IS SO CUTE!! I will be so excited if I win it!!! But why on earth do I need a Bambi stuffed animal?? I'm 20 years old!! ... I have no idea.
The best thing of all that I've managed to find, however, are Disney movie posters. I currently have one of Mulan, Bambi, and one of Beauty and the Beast 3D on it's way from Disney Movie Rewards. They have it all!!! From 10 dollars to 20, and they're all in great condition. I am definitely going to have to try to control myself. I won't get paid for weeks. And how sad would it be to spend your paycheck on a Disney movie poster when you don't even have a vehicle to get to see a Disney movie in theaters??? Or even a TV to watch real Disney movies?!
Hopefully I can contain myself with the thought of my poor van and the knowledge that my insurance is going to go up...
CURSE YOU EBAY!
