It isn't really National I Sell Things I Find in Thrift Stores on eBay Day. Technically it is National Cake Day. And I didn't have a t-shirt design that has anything about cakes and I didn't feel like creating on. That takes the cake, I know.
Tomorrow is National Craft Jerky Day, National Bavarian Cream Pie Day, National Tie One on Day and National Jukebox Day. None of those particularly inspire me either. So F it. I choose it to be National I Sell Things I Find in Thrift Stores on eBay Day! And I find it pretty damned satisfying. I sold six things yesterday and three this afternoon. The problem is that I have exceeded my supply of boxes which mainly come from Amazon purchases (which is pretty amazing considering the amount of shit my wife buys on Amazon). And often times the items people are buying are either too big or too small for the boxes I have. So I have been building boxes out of other boxes. I also have been repurposing other boxes that aren't really intended for packing and shipping things (like soda boxes and tissue boxes).
I have become quite adept at crafting boxes to fit the items I sell, but they are rarely pretty. So I wrap them in brown paper recycled from grocery bags (which the bastards at the grocery store charge us for anyway). So it is sort of a win, win situation. I imagine the people receiving the shit I sell in these boxes that look like Dr. Frankenstein created are a bit baffled. But I pack the stuff I sell really well so nothing is damaged. That is why I am rated as a top seller by eBay. That and the fact that they profit from me and haven't had to deal with any complaints or other stuff they don't want to deal with.
Maybe I will make tomorrow National I am a Top Seller on eBay Day since I have this new found power to create National days anytime I feel like it.
I am giddy with the power. IAY ebayay!
