This is really amazing to me!! I was looking to see if you could sell boxes on eBay. Well, I did a search and found out people sell a lot of MYSTERY BOXES. You need to check this out! There are hundreds of bids on MYSTERY BOXES. Do a search for MYSTERY BOXES and then check out completed listings in the left column. Items are selling for $20.00 - $200.00! It always amazes me what can be SOLD on eBay!

Weird & Funny Stuff on eBay

We like to search eBay for weird and funny stuff - like the lady from Colorado who was selling snow because she had been snowed in after two major snowstorms. The questions and comments were hysterical. Someone asked if she could get yellow snow for her boyfriend. The response was absolutely - yellow snow coming up. "When you care enough to send the very best". The questions and comments went on and on. She had over 7,000 visits from all over the world.

Anyway, here is another eBay listing that made us chuckle - Leroy's Bricktoof Bluetoof Handset - Item # 200088234288.
Leroy has a great video you can play. If you need a good laugh, check this out. Go to
http://www.ebay.com, go to advanced search and search by item. Type in the item number: 200088234288. This auction ends on March 21, 2007.

Personalized Signs





What do you give that "hard to buy for" person? What if that person has everything or the money to buy whatever they want? Perhaps you just want to give a simple, inexpensive gift that says "Thank you", "Happy Birthday", "Happy Anniversary", "Merry Christmas", or "I Love You". Wouldn't it be great to give a gift that the recipient will always remember came from you? - Not a coffee mug that eventually is given away because the recipient already has so many, or a tie with Looney Tunes characters that ends up being regifted? What about a personalized gift?


How about instead of the same "old stuff ", you give a gift that is unique and funny. There is something so special about a gift that has the recipient's name on it. It's not an item you can buy at any store. You have to search for it and it has to have the perfect saying. So a lot of thought has to go into a personalized gift.

When a good friend was having a house warning party, we wanted to give him something different and personal. And so began our personalized novelty signs. We designed a personalized bar sign with a clever saying for his newly installed bar. He was absolutely thrilled and this sign is still hanging on his wall after many years. We received a lot of business from that one sign.

We started developing new ideas for our signs and even got ideas from some of our customers. We now offer personalized beer bar signs, personalized golf signs, personalized poker signs, personalized pool room signs, personalized Irish signs, personalized lake signs, personalized kitchen signs, personalized horse signs - you name it! We now have approximately 170 different designs and we are always adding new designs.

So back to the question, "What do we buy for that "hard to buy for" person? Personalized signs and banners can make wonderful gifts and they don't have to cost an arm and a leg. We guarantee the person receiving them will never have to say "who did I get this from?"
