If you have been following along you will know that aside from my regular 9 to 9 job (I’m not even joking) I have been setting up my own little side business buying and selling on Ebay. It’s like having that last spoonful of desert, where you have perhaps bitten off just a bit more than you can chew. I’m trying to get a thousand items in my store but people keep buying shit and I haven’t even reached 100 yet. If you want to check out the vintage pictures and postcards I am selling you can do so by clicking the link below.
RICHARD WINDSOR’S EBAY LISTINGS
Normally on a Saturday I hit the thrift shops but that can kiss my butt today, it is going to reach near 100 degrees in New York today. So instead I will work a bit more on my store. There was a couple of mistakes that I made early on, including two sales where I was out of pocket, but when you break it down it is easy to do. Shipping is $2.45 flat, Ebay takes 10% on all sales, Paypal takes 10% on all sales, then I have to buy the materials and of course the photos. So before I even start I have to weigh in that each item will set me back at least $5 before I even list it.
Anyway, I don’t want this all to be about Ebay, only one additional piece, the spanking photo that I am selling ends tonight 🙂
Now a long time ago I used to do either a Saturday morning newspaper or comic book spanking post. The comic book spankings are done in many places now, but nobody borrowed my idea of newspaper spankings. By that I mean posts, my newspaper clippings themselves get borrowed frequently, normally under the banner of “I have no idea where this came from” 🙂
So in order of fairness, I will tell you exactly where this clipping came from. It came from the Milwaukee Sentinel on March the 17th, 1929, enjoy. It is a monster sized article so be sure to click on the image for the full sized version.
It was brutal yesterday but great post and finds…love them.
Thanks
