Bathroom Light Fixture, Computer Support, Old Razors

Country Joe's Collectibles Stuff shop, lots of interesting collectibles, small antiques, postcards and other neat stuff from the 'Zillion Item Hoard' added every week.

Been an interesting day around here wet and slushy, been having a few problems with uploading stuff to the website so I figured it was a good time to put a new light fixture in the bathroom. Well as you know when doing things in an older 70's building it doesn't always go as planned. Whoever put in the old fixture sorta jury rigged it to be in the center over the sink. Had the juction box hanging from a piece stuffed between the studs. New fixture just wasn't gonna set right, so off to the ol'parts box in the closet, rummaged around and found some brackets etc. Now we have a light over the sink that is actually attached to something.

Then decided to go chase my webhost around a bit to get the uploading problem solved. So what happens when you contact support? You are now talking to a guy in India or somewhere who knows exacty as much as you do about fixing the problem, so it's time to go on hold and listen to bad music. Oh, and a few ads stuck in there. Guy comes back from wherever he was and says an engineer will look into it, "that's what they said the other day" I said. Then he says he will put in a support ticket about the problem, I said I did that already. He says "we're sorry that your having a problem" and will expidite my ticket. Then he says "Is there anything else I can help you with"? @#$@%^$#&*^%)*!.

About a hour later the electric in the neighborhood goes out. Along with the heat. It's back now and here I am. Luckily the ordering part of the shop isn't affected. Fingers crossed XXXXXX

Oh, managed to add a few goodies to the shop during one of the spells that they would upload.

Ebay Boycott, Fountain Pens, Razors, Silver etc.

Country Joe's Collectibles Stuff shop, lots of interesting collectibles, small antiques, postcards and other neat stuff from the 'Zillion Item Hoard' added every week.

Well with all the buzzing around the net about ebay's listing reductions and final value fee increases (starts today )and the sellers boycott that many sellers are holding. Anyway I did some number crunching and seems if you sell stuff under $25.00 and use PayPal between them it's gonna cost you like 15%. $3.75 !!!!! That's craziness. Sell something for $10.00 and they will get 18% !!!!!!!!!!!! For more info on the boycott go google "ebay boycott".

I don't sell a lot of stuff on ebay but usually keep a few auctions running just to move odd stuff and turn a few bucks. That might have to change. Oh, and they have some new off the wall feedback rules, sellers can't leave negative feedback for buyers, this has many many sellers in a not so good mood.

Actually I might start add misc. type stuff (not my regular store merch) to www.blujay.com (no fees) actually still had a setup there from a few years ago or maybe Online Auctions flat $8.00 a month, just to test the waters. Or just pile up the odds and ends and off to the flea market in the spring.

Oh, managed to add a few goodies to the shop also. Click thumbnails to enlarge photos.
