A Lesson Learned.


Not sure how picture relates...just go with it.

Yesterday I learned a valuable (or should I say lucrative) lesson! After staring at the Bugaboo Donkey Stoller sitting in my hallway for months I was determined to sell it! We worked hard for it afterall...and what did I need a third stroller for? Since it was new and in the original box I knew Ebay would be my best bet. A little weary on how to use their system I decided to list it at a fixed price vs. the auction option. After a quick write-up and a few pictures (mainly of the unopened box)-- I had my first Ebay listing. I had a few inquiries, and then boom! It was sold! It took less than 24 hours! I couldn't believe my eyes when I clicked on my PayPal account and their was actual legit money there...and alot of it (these strollers ain't cheap)! After some fanagaling (I do have two kids to take care of) and this thing was HEAVY...I made my way over to the shipping center and realized another valuable lesson...never underestimate the cost of shipping. Yikes! It cost $180 to ship to California. Of course I wanted to email the buyer and request more money but that is against Ebay policy! I counted my blessings (and dollars left after Ebay's cut and PayPal's) geesh... and am already surveying my house for the next item to sell including my house!

P.S After checking our Bugaboo's website I realized our pictures are up from the photoshoot! Take a look if you want to see.
