Not eBay I swear!

No, I’m not turning my blog into another eBay auction house. If you’ve seen some of the recent few posts you might be wondering. A and I have both been sitting on a bunch of material that needs to get sold.. guns, computer parts, old wedding dress, books, etc.

While I do have an eBay account, and one with absolute perfect feedback for the last six years, I’m lately finding it difficult to get the motivation to want to list anything at all on eBay. Between the increased seller fees, paypal fees, credit card fees, and endless amount of consumers wanting everything for nothing, I’ve become disillusioned by the whole process. As a buyer I use it all the time, but as a seller I just find it too bothersome any more unless you have a real niche market or want to spend six months trying to sell that five dollar item.

So, in a sort of quasi-socialistic-marketing approach I decided to list my items for sale on my blog and see what happened. Will people be interested? Will anyone visit the items? Will selling through my blog work? I have no idea. It’s just a new idea and I want to see if it will work. After all, if I sell through here I have no reason to screw anyone on shipping to cover fees, and have no hassles getting the product out the door. All the items are ready to ship and the sooner they do, the sooner I’ll have my office-space back.

Wish me luck!

Ducks Unlimited 12 ga 75th Anniversary Franchi Shotgun NEVER FIRED– FOR SALE

The gun was purchased 9/07 at a Ducks Unlimited banquet for $1,675.00.  It is a Duck's Unlimited 75th Anniversary Special Edition Over-Under 12ga break action shotgun made by Franchi.  The gun has never been fired and has rarely been out of the case.  Beautiful gold leaf detailing on both sides of the action.  A very nice over-under specimen.  The pictures say it all. Serious gun dealers know these only increase in value, especially since it’s never been fired.

Amy wants to sell it. She has quite enough guns of her own and this one, as you can see, has never been fired. She’s asking $1450.00 for it. If you have questions about purchasing the gun, or need more info about it, leave a comment and one of us will get back to you.

Here are some pictures of the gun I took last night:

 

 

  

You can see in this photo, there is absolutely no trace of a shell ever being fired through this barrel.

High-Tech Bargain Bin Items:

   If you are wondering why this item is for sale: I own an IT company in Greenville, North Carolina named Twisted Networx. You can visit us online at www.twistednetworx.com.

Throughout the year we accumulate a LOT of extra inventory that we have no use for, especially laptop parts and accessories. From time to time each year I try to clean out the closet of all our parts and accessories and get rid of them on eBay, Amazon, or through private sale on my web site and blog. If you’d like to check our our eBay rating, you can visit my ebay profile at:http://myworld.ebay.com/twnetworx/

These are NOT stolen, not illegal, and have no other shady past attached to them. Sometimes customers decide they don’t want to get an item repaired and they assume we enjoy storing lots of parts we don’t need. Other times we get them in bulk when we only really need one specific part.  I can’t store an endless supply of materials and therefore, here it is…

All sales are final. End of story. Do not ask questions. If you need to ask questions, don’t.

If I know something is wrong with it, I will let you know in the post. Otherwise, expect it to work as well as any other piece of equipment. No warranties are expressed, implied, hinted about, or considered valid if you decide later that you thought they existed…. they don't.
