WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?

I realized the other day that I had neglected my blog about collectibles and antiques. Little did I realize that it had not been just a little neglect; but a major one. Imagine my surprise when I went in to post a new message and discovered that it had been five months since I had posted last. It made me think about all the things that I have neglected. One of my major neglects this new year has been my collections. I have not dusted off my angels, and everyone knows that even angels need a periodic dusting. I have not taken my list of "wants" to any garage sales to see if I can find a good bargain. I have not gathered the collectibles that I have been wanting to sell on eBay and actually listed them.

But before I get too hard on myself, I realize that part of the reason for the overlooking my collections is that I currently have too many other things on the front burner with a higher priority. How sad it is that we have to put so many priorities in place when perhaps we should try to pay attention to all of them at least a little. So, even though it is well into 2007, I resolve to give more attention to my collectible angels, I will visit at least one garage sale this next weekend and I will list some things on eBay.

I know that a lot of collectors have been buying and selling on eBay for a long time. I have bought, but not sold. Perhaps if you are in the same place and would like to get started on eBay; you might find the information on SeniorNet.com of help to you. SeniorNet and eBay have been teaming up together to help those of us who might be a little intimidated about the whole process to provide an excellent training guide.

Check it out and see if you can't become a collector buying and selling on eBay. Good luck. And take some time this week to see what things you might have been neglecting.
