Ebay Revolt- Amazon gets tough-Blue Jean bandits and more

This blog was created in 2009 to discuss the rise and fall of ebay and all aspects of online selling community. I consider myself a brand expert and have written extensively about how to find good deals on just about anything-including how to steal an education! Through no fault of my own the original blog was compromised(still trying to get it back)and I cannot retrieve my original posts as of today so I started a new blog.

There has been so many changes since then for sellers and buyers alike. We all love to score a good deal but I get just as much joy out of giving good deals. It is definitely a buyers market because of so many factors including the economy,  ebays awful policy changes for sellers, and amazon.com rise to top selling online community just to name a few.

Locally,  the smash and grab type of robberies (some try to sell designer online-more on that later will surprise you because the stuff is not going to flea markets) have affected everyone including Saks 5th Avenue (several Louis Vuitton handbags stolen out of the display window at wee hours of the morning on July 5th 2009 while most police are sleeping after busy holiday) and several specialty boutiques that sell expensive designer jeans (loved by blue jeans bandits) have since moved or closed their doors (More on this later-must mention blue genes) 

Internationally, there seem to be more seizures and confiscated items ending up on our shores. I recently had access to several Marc Jacobs handbags all brand new with $2400 tags believe it or not. It is almost impossible to see so many authentic items fall out of the normal distribution chain but for people like me its good news! People are amazed and in shock and awe as to the high level of luxury items I get my hands on. I cant tell all my secrets. Well, I will for the right price :)

It seems that what was once a hobby of collecting sneakers could snowball into something that I never thought imaginable. So, I will travel the world for unique things to share with the world and see where it all takes me.

Need any advice on dealing with amazon, ebay, paypal?

Need advice on how to save money on designer clothing?(this is not your normal flea market, estate sale discussion we travel the world looking for cool stuff. pickers  have nothing on us.)

Need advice on hot to get an education for free? (and no I dont mean defaulting on your student loans.lol)

I will get this blog more organized as I go along. I intend this space to be helpful and fun. I promise.
