Ebay. NM

It seems it would probably be less expensive SM
to just buy fabric and cut it out yourself. There are some great fabric stores with home dec fabrics. Anyway, should be easy, since just straight sewing.
Ebay has them. nm

Can anyone tell me just how expensive it is
to get a hearing aid, including the evaluation and the price of the device? My husband is driving me crazy. He can't seem to hear very well anymore and he is such a grump. We have insurance but I was wondering what to expect. I really have no idea if it is $250 or $2000. Thanks if you can help me. 
Why do that have to be expensive?? (nm)

Go to Ebay
Type in Busch Gardens Coupons and there was one on there for the Williamsburg area.
Don't buy them on eBay. sm
You can make a poodle skirt from felt. You will have to approximate your daughter's waist measurements, but a poodle skirt is basically a full circle with a zipper and a waistband. Since you make it from felt, you don't need to do a hem or anything like that. If you buy 72" felt, no seams at all are needed.
Then use the same pattern to make the petticoats. Get really stiff nylon netting and make a drawstring waistband. Make it maybe a couple of inches shorter than the skirt and presto...instant poodle skirt. Then you make a poodle out of white or whatever color you want and some fancy braid and you are good to go.
Hope this helps.
Ebay Question
I need some opinions here. I won something on Sunday and paid immediately thru PayPal as the auction stated. I posted a comment to please let me know when the item shipped because I wanted to make sure I was home. I didn't hear back yesterday, so I emailed the person directly. I STILL haven't heard back. When do you think I should contact ebay and find out whats' up, or should I try and contact her one more time? My credit card has been charged already and I hate it that there is no communication.
My ebay experience
I supported myself on ebay while going to school for MT. It was great back then (2001). I have a few things on ebay now and hardly anyone looks. (handmade jewelry, stocking stuffers for kids, just small stuff). Much different than it used to be. I think it's too big.
Check ebay
I found six copies on ebay, that may be one of the few ways to get new movies on VHS anymore.
I purchase a lot on Ebay and always get sm
as described. In fact, I negotiated with a seller last Thursday for a pair of headphones for my son and got them today. Of course, I will probably have a not so good experience in the future, but chin up, most sellers are honest and reliable.
Uniforms are NOT more expensive.
My kids have been in public school and in Catholic school. Buying uniforms is waaaay cheaper than buying back-to-school clothes. My boys are required to wear khaki pants and a polo shirt, and non-scuff type brown shoes. (I choose to buy Skechers.) Each started with two pairs of pants and three shirts, and I spent less than $300 the first year. The clothing lasted all years, and I found that one pair of Skechers per boy was a good investment. One pair made it through an entire school year. (Previously I bought cheap Pay Less shoes every couple of months.) As time goes on, the older son handed down uniforms to the younger brother. I replaced uniform shirts or pants as needed, and there was no big rush to go school shopping in the beginning of the year. Our school also offers uniform exchanges to keep costs down, and will provide uniforms for free through the Home and School Association to families with financial need.
As far as expressing their individuality through their clothing, they still have street clothes for life outside of school, and they can express their individuality then. Or, they can be individuals simply by being themselves, because that's how it's done. I think the "expressing individuality" issues is over-rated. What we need more of these days is people thinking about the team, about each other, and how their actions impact the entire community. We need less of it's-all-about-me attitude, in my opinion. If uniforms help in that regard, I'm very much for them!
Often several people will go in together to get a more expensive
jk,
Mine are not the expensive ones
like you probably had but at the same time offered 1 and then told I could sell myself for twice so just decided to keep and wear myself. The funny thing is to just look at those you would think just junky cheap plastic. I found at the antique place some old Jewell Tea dishes and such, my stepmom had plenty and they were selling for prices unbelievable to me being as I knew cheap years ago. I did find out that probably would have sold necklaces and bracelets for less than the dealer told me to sell for.
I did check ebay......SM
several times; i keep hoping i'll find them, that someone will decide to sell what they have. i think it actually is a new pattern that just came out this year, so whoever has them may not decide to get rid of them this soon, but i'm going to keep checking! i am also going to check out their website. thanks very much!
I thought they were expensive too

San Diego got way too expensive
Rent was about a grand a month eight years ago when I was 36 and had my precious baby I left there when he was eight months old. I stayed with my two of my best friends (gay couple) in Atlanta for over a year in their mansion-like home. I then came back here to MI, where it surely is cheap to live and he and I could be near my family. I bought a house last year for $13,000 (that's not a typo) and the cost of living is very reasonable here.
No, 27 is certainly not old and you're not having a mid-life crisis -- just wild oats. I used to call it "world of hate" when I would be ready to leave a city: Sick of traffic, sick of the people at the grocery store, sick of my neighbors. Then, I would plot out a journey and move on. Now, though, with my sweet child of school age, we can only wander off and travel in the summer months. So, do it while you can, girl!!
I know they are expensive. A pedicure alone
I wanted to get my grandma one but i just can't afford that!!!
Did you check eBay?
That's the first place I check when I'm looking for something like that. I also just did a quick search on Amazon and they have American Girl things, too.
ebay problem...sm
I bought a Tabers Medical Dictionary the newest edition for $20 plus shipping on ebay. I paid for it over a week ago. I haven't gotten it yet. I have emailed the seller and I have gotten his phone # from ebay. He does not reply to emails and I can't reach him on the phone. What the heck should I do? I want my dictionary.
Contact Ebay again.
It may just be delayed shipping with all the holiday rush. I haven't shipped anything this year but in the past the post office has told me they don't guarantee the same as normal.
I went on ebay and it directed me to ...sm
paypal resolution center. I had to give transaction ID and a statement of what happened. The seller has 10 days to respond and if not then I can file a paypal claim and they will review and possibly take the money out his account and return it. I have tried to email this seller repeatedly. I have even gotten a phone # from ebay to contact him. I left a message with my phone # on anwering machine. I have heard no response back.
eBay rules....sm
state that sellers have up to 30 days to ship items once they're paid for.... just as buyers have up to 30 days to pay UNLESS it's posted otherwise in the original listing. My guess is that with the holidays the seller has gone away for a few days. Furthermore eBay/PayPal won't open an investigation until it's been 30 days past the day of the sale.
eBay sellers
Hi sm!
Yes, I have been buying and selling on ebay for over 10 years.

Why are funerals so expensive?
After finding funeral home service for my grand mother. I think that funeral home is so expensive.
You agree with me?
Thanks! Bras are EXPENSIVE!! nm

I go on ebay sprees every now and then - sm
usually odd stuff, some designer silk stuff now and then, goals for me to reach if I ever lose the weight I need to. I tend to shop when I get stressed, down, etc, but try hard not to as it has gotten me in trouble in the past. Just bought one of those Thane steam mops on line, only $40 (that is total with shipping)---used, but hey a lot better than the $99 they go for new. Been wanting one for a while but DH would kill me if I spent $100 on one, so went this route, he will be PO'd enough about $40 but happy if the floors get cleaned on a more regular basis of course.
Very very expensive and demanding blessings, yes.

Children are an expensive responsibility.
It's not fair to bring people into this world who will clearly be at a disadvantage from the get-go. They have no choice in the matter, you do.
eBay policy states.....sm
that the sender has 30 days to send the product. If they don't or can't prove they sent it then you can file a complaint with eBay, and they'll check with the seller who will have to either prove they sent the item (i.e. provide postal information with confirmation #s, insurance information, etc) or the seller will have to refund the money. They do tell you that if the seller has "disappeared" that they may not be able to get the money back; however, at the same time they will block them from selling again. My husband & I have bought a lot of stuff on ebay as well as sold a lot. We always ship within 72 hours and most items we've won we've received with a week. I did have one purchase that the seller kept coming up with excuses for not sending it until the 30 days came and eBay contacted her to ship it or else and she finally sent it... but she did refund my shipping fees because of the aggravation and she wasn't asked to do that.
EBAY/PAYPAL QUESTION sm
I recently bought something off of ebay. I signed up for paypal and put my charge card through paypal. It kept telling me they were having technical problems to try later. I emailed the seller three times asking if she got the payment because I did not want to double pay (I was hoping she was honest) and never heard from her. Is there a way for me to check if it took through paypal.
very expensive but value added to home...sm
Lumber Liquidators for the bamboo and we needed 1400 s.f. and then to pay 2 men to install that and the cork backing...it was V_E_R_Y expensive but added about $25-$30G value to the home I do believe (was done a few years ago); besides the fact it is absolutely gorgeous and not difficult to take care of...but it's shoes off!
I heard Requip is very expensive, do you know how much?
I have it day and night, sometimes in involves more than my legs, and it drives me crazy.
Eladil, though expensive, works for me.

How do you figure leasing is less expensive?
I've tried doing the math on that several times when we were going in to buy a car, but I never see it as being a saving. If I plan to keep a car for as long as it's useful and relatively trouble-free, leasing makes no sense. If I pay off a car in 3 years, or even 5 years, I could drive it for another 10 years and not have any car payments. But if I continuously lease new cars, I'll always have a car payment. The years w/o payments are money straight in the bank for me. I could see it being cheaper if you plan to buy a new car every couple of years, but I plan to drive my cars until they sputter, cough and die.
Incidentally, I just looked at a camry hybrid today. time to replace a puffing 12 year old car with 189,000 miles on it. I like it. Not sure the gas savings will outweigh that sticker price, tho. wow!
Could go on eBay and see what similar bracelets are going for, or
the books on collectibles/antiques in Barnes and Noble or Waldenbooks, etc., too. Lots of books on identifying and pricing of old jewlery, bracelets, old plastics, etc. You could have Lucite or you might even have some pieces of Bakelite, both collectible and very cool! Start with an ebay search and see where it takes you. Good luck. NM

EBAY QUESTION POSSIBLE FRAUD sm
I bought something on ebay for $12.00. I got the notice saying your charge card will be charged. It has been 10 days and the seller has not emailed to tell me when it will be shipped. I have emailed her once a day for 10 days with no response. How do you report this to Ebay so I don't get charged?
Thanks.
Stop with the expensive gifts.
Do gift cards and such, but don't knock yourself out.
You contact first the seller on ebay
and then ebay directly if it is not resolved.
A feline is not that expensive and what I have heard is
the rodents, etc. leave even when they catch a smell of them. Have not seen 1 here but at my other house my older feline caught and killed 2, 1 big and 1 smaller. She was very proud of herself.
I hated to pay for expensive bras as well
but it really is worth it I promise you. I have a black and a nude bra from VS. I went in for an actucal fitting and these bras have been wonderful. I don't think I will ever wear anything else. I know that you don't have to go to VS to get a good bra, but I had a gift certificate, and while I don't think that is what DH was expecting my to buy, it was totally worth it. Right now I am in the second year of both bras, just wash in the sink and hang dry which definitely helps keep them in shape. I am 38D so I really need plenty of support. It is almost time for new bras, but since you can tighten the straps as well as around as you go, they have made all the difference in the world. Like I said, you can get good quality bras at major department stores without spending what you would spend at VS, but just check into it. I promise you it will be worth it.
what price range...I see they are very expensive
I need a great shampooer.
West coast is all expensive...
So you settled back at home, 13K! WOW I would never settle back in Cali... like you said it's way too expensive and the wages (at least what i make) definitely don't keep up with the cost of living. I have found in the South the living is sooooo much more affordable, but then I have to think of the pros and cons like the weather (never been in a hurricane, they kinda scare me)... but the people are absolutely wonderful! at least everyone I have encountered was so nice and polite, again nothing like the west coast. I just visited Atlanta when I was in NC two weeks ago and fell in LOVE with it. However, it's a bit big for me but I am curious to know more about it... just as an option. Do you mind if I email you directly? Thanks again for your insight!
Yes! Can you see 3 of them? And they are expensive, too. DH HATES it! haha nm

I just got a Scrabble game on EBay
We play Scrabble each holiday - kinda got a contest going on. We have been through 2 regular games but thought it would be great to have the turntable. I decided to check Ebay 2 weeks ago and one had an hour left on the bid and I won the bid for $19 w/ S&H. There was one tile gone but they told me ahead of time about that which is n problem really as we had all the tiles from the old game and they fit just fine. Bought an egg timer at the dollar store and looking forward to this year's game fest. Good for you playing a board game with the grandkids. Teaches them a little spelling subliminally too.
Update: Just sold for $299 on Ebay
if you can get your hands on one they are selling like hotcakes!!
Report it to EBay. Did you use PayPal to
pay for it?? If so, maybe they can cancel the payment.
