Georgia -- a) She has been selling on Ebay long enough to have a following, and
2) She featured that item, I would guess. And featured items get a lot more bids. Becki "In between the moon and you, the angels have a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.." -- Counting Crows |

"Georgia" wrote in message news:XM7Ma.394$3h3.703@rwcrnsc53...
Doesn't she have around $30 of materials in that bracelet? (I won't begin to guess the amount of labor.) And yet she was willing to let the bidding begin at $9.99. That's confidence! Yes, and I love that she's getting good money on eBay, for handmade jewelry that is OOAK. And I love her materials -- she doesn't fudge with quality. I have some of those fancy Bali barrel shapes that I bought years ago, and they weren't cheap even then! Her work and her style are an inspiration, eh? A good lesson in selling something you love, and yes, I'd agree w/Beki that she must be creating good energy w/her "following". This is nice to see.

Oh yeah, one thing I forgot to say is -- her work, even the more
delicate designs, look incredibly durable. (one of my pet peeves, esp. with bracelets, that take such a beating...) Mary T. 8-) Aunt Molly's Bead Street http://www.flash.net/~mjtafoya/ eBay and Justbeads: seriousbeader |

This definitely seems to be the case on eBay now. I would guess it's because eBay itself has gotten so huge. I think they charge a pretty penny for auctions that are featured, too.
