I want to sell things on ebay, should I sell these items or do you think no one would buy?
Well these are the items want to get rid off
Some old tee shirts (rolling stones, kind of formal shirt- button up semi see through, white with pink flower pattern and some lace -, and a bunch of other grahpic tees, and a pink striped one and quite a few others
My skatebored (I can’t balance on it and I’m to afraid to get back on because I hurt my ankle last time and its not really fun for my friend and I to just pull eachother)
I have some old toys but I need to sort throuh them
I have a barbie car that doesn’t talk anymore, I have a plastic barbie plane with alot of missing peices, and a giant barbie doll house- more like a hotel and lots of barbie peices to go with it and a barebie living room/bedroom/bathroom set and I do have about 10 barbies including some vintage barbie clothes from my aunt, a vintage barbie, and a green holiday one still in its box but I don’t want to get rid of my barbies jsut the barebie stuff (I’m 14 and no longer a prissy little kid) continued.
Bit I heart my barbies too much to get rid of them, I want to save them for future kids
And msot of my clothes have sains on them or are ripped a little but nothing that can’t be sewen or washed out. I’ve had most of the clothes for 2+ years and the barbie stuff for 5-7 years plus
so is this stuff ok for ebay or just garage sales?
And theres about 3 or 4 pants included too

Anything For Her
Looking for that perfect gift for the lady in your life? If you are out of ideas and can’t think of anything to buy, this article will help you find something just for her.
Fortunately, women have the reputation of being easier to shop for than men. Jewelry is always welcome. You can find unique presents at an antique shop, and vintage jewelry is extremely fashionable. Consider buying her an Italian charm bracelet, the newest fad in jewelry. Italian charm bracelets do not resemble the dangling charm bracelets popular in the 1950s and 60s. These sleek bracelets are covered by snap-on segments which can feature a wide variety of patterns and designs. Some are studded with gems, others are covered by miniature enamel paintings, and they come in all metals from stainless steel to 18K gold to fit all budgets.
For serious relationships, diamonds are always appropriate, and a small set of 1/4 carat earrings only costs a few hundred dollars, while its sparkle will accent any outfit. If you don’t know how to judge the quality of diamonds (there are short online courses for beginners) stick to a reputable local jeweler so you will be sure to get a high-quality item. Not all diamonds are created equal, as some are grey or yellow and included with particles that detract from their appearance and value. Learn about the four C’s before buying diamonds to make sure you get a good bargain.
Online auction sites are good places to pick up jewelry and other gifts. Ebay is the most popular venue, but there are smaller sites as well where you can pick up a bargain.
If the lady you are buying for has a hobby or a collection, try to find something that adds to it. For instance, a doll collector would love to have a limited-edition Barbie. Birdwatchers will enjoy a full-day outing, and perhaps a picnic, near a bird sanctuary. Scrapbook owners can always use small mementos or photos of special occasions. If your lady likes books, find a signed or limited edition.
Many women appreciate art, so look for an original piece that suits her decor. She will think of you whenever she sees it.
If you know her size and taste, buy her some attractive article of clothing. It doesn’t have to be something as intimate as lingerie, as long as you avoid completely utilitarian items such as socks (that vile old Christmas standard). Try a handknit sweater or some soft lined gloves for cold winter days.
And don’t forget the other love of her life — her pet. People who own pets consider them part of the family, and always appreciate gifts for them. Try a personalized or rhinestone-studded collar for the dog, or some gourmet cat food for her feline. Dog grooming certificates make a great gift and save time spent on cleaning, brushing, and clipping the nails of pets. If there is a cat or dog show in town, get some tickets for both of you.
If you can cook, make her a romantic dinner complete with wine and candles. Everyone loves to be spoiled and waited on. Baskets of luxury foods and snacks are gifts suitable for everyone.
Last but not least, don’t forget flowers! A dozen roses are always romantic, and a tropical bouquet will brighten her home for days. Or buy an attractive potted plant, which lasts longer.
Whatever you do, make sure your gift shows some thought and consideration of her tastes. If possible, don’t buy a generic gift suitable for anyone. After all, it’s the thought that counts, and you want to demonstrate that you feel she is special and worth some extra effort.

SELLERS & BUYERS WANTED
Virtual Boutiques Mall Shops (VBMShops) is a “street of shops” and was started with four things in mind. . . the first is to be the First and Only Online Auction Boutique Mall for Antique, Vintage and New merchandise and goods. . . two, is to be the lowest fees of any site on the internet. Three is to put the VBMShop member first and foremost by offering premier customer service, equal feedback and more and finally four is to provide an opportunity for all non profits at no cost to increase their available operating capital. For the next 60 days you can sell as many items as you wish with all of the bells and whistles you desire for nothing, nada, nil… and this is just for you to try us out. We hope that you will find that the VBMShop concept is more fitting to how you buy and sell and that our policies and prices are fairer than any other auction or non-auction venue on the internet. VBMShops will be opening 30+ specialty shop boutiques over the next few months. Each will have the look and feel of the merchandise. Each shop will have a “shopkeeper” who will be an expert in most of the merchandise being sold on the site. The shopkeeper can advise the sellers and buyers on trends, good buys and basically share their special expertise. Currently we have three boutiques open and ready for sellers and buyers. The first is Vintage Gems Emporium where you will find it easy to sell or buy your antique, vintage and new costume and fine jewelry in either an auction and/or a fixed price venue. It is here where you will find designer signed jewelry from the 1960’s or fabulous and sparkly rhinestones for the upcoming prom season. All in all there are over 250 categories and subcategories to shop or sell in. Gabrielle is the shopkeeper for the Gems Site. Gabrielle’s extensive experience in collecting and selling antique and vintage costume jewelry has prepared her to assist you on your “exciting gems journey”. She will be contributing fun recounts of her own experiences and will predict upcoming trends to look out for. She will also seek the expertise of other jewelry addicts to share their stories with the VBMShops family. The hope is that Gabrielle can give you the confidence needed to create a successful business on VBMShops. The second fabulous boutique is Just 4 Collectibles. This boutique is like a great flea market and features vintage and newer merchandise that appeals to the all round collector who just loves things. This boutique will feature snowglobes, figurines, comic books, militaria, and more, Just 4 Collectibles has over 300 categories in which to choose to sell that Star Wars or Barbie Doll collection you have been holding onto. Jacquie is the collectibles shopkeeper. Jacquie has owned a collectibles shop for the past 15 years. She knows what is hot and what is not and will share these insights with all who are interested. The third and I think one of the most exciting boutiques is Arts Antiques Galleria. This boutique is like a high end arts and antique shop where you can sell and buy original and reproduction artworks by famous artists, antiquities, furniture and other great antique finds. There are again over 250 categories and subcategories to sell and shop in. Nancy Romness is the shop’s resident artist. Nancy works in numerous mediums and can be commissioned to paint your child, your pet or your home. Her landscapes are breathtaking and her artwork is unique and identifiable. The boutique’s shopkeeper is Clive. Clive is from Dublin Ireland and comes from a long line of art and antique afficionados. His great uncle, Sir Richard was sculptor to England’s Queen Victoria. Sir Richard reached such acclaim that when he died in 1856 he was buried in Westminister Abbey. Clive had owned and operated his own fine antiques shop in London until 1995 and is now retired and ready to write his memoirs. As the arts antiques shopkeeper, his articles will enlighten and regale even the most experienced arts and antiques lover and discernible collector. The next boutiques to be opened within the next couple weeks will be Vintage Clothing & Accessories, New and Used Clothing and Accessories, Sporting Goods, Sports Memorabilia and Home and Garden. More boutiques to come will include Stamps and Coins, Books and Ephemera, Antique and Vintage Motor Vehicles, Toys and Hobbies, Ethnic Boutique, The Capitals of the World Boutique, The Luxury and One of a Kind Boutique, Baby and Toddler, Bed and Bath, Beauty & Health, Bridal, Electronics, Kitchen Gourmet and so much more.

How to Make Money on Ebay
Now, just about everyone knows money doesn’t just appear by itself with hardly any work or effort, but you can come close once you learn how to make money on eBay. As the world’s premier auction site, and though in constant competition with Yahoo! Auctions, eBay is a great place to start a home business, earn some extra spending money, or a lot of money, all the while selling things in your home, garage and through wholesale distributors. All that you basically need to make money on eBay is a computer, an e-commerce site (which you can create in eBay) and a working knowledge of how online auctions generally work. With the eBay marketing program, people just wanting to clean out their homes or those serious about starting a small home business selling various products and earning small or large amounts of cash, eBay is a great place to start. Using the tools offered through eBay’s web site, individuals can start selling in as little as ten minutes. General information for creating an eBay account or starting your own eBay Seller Storefront is offered in the various “How-To” sections of the website. So whether you’re selling electronic equipment, collectibles, jewelry, clothing or vintage Barbie dolls, you can definately learn how to make money on eBay by following a few simple steps. • Take the time to browse through eBay and see what types of items people are bidding on or selling. You can perform a search to see how many listings may be found in various categories, such as electronics, clothing, games and so forth. You can also find popular items being sold at other auction sites by doing a Google search on your favorite search engine. If you’re a collector of any type of item and you want to start selling, or if you want to know what types of products are sold most frequently on not only eBay but also other auction sites, take the time to perform a thorough search. While you want to offer what people are buying, you also want to find something that’s a little different than the items 555 other people are selling online. There are oodles of selling opportunities in eBay, but in order to generate sales, you must know the public demand for various products. This is the best way to make money on eBay, and not just break even. • Check out the eBay Site Map. This page lists numerous categories for sellers and buyers as well as tutorials on how to bid, list an item, build a store and address shipping and insurance issues. Another great method to earning money thru eBay is to add affiliate links to a personal website or a friend’s website that will direct them to eBay storefronts. This is a proven commerce resource that can earn you extra cash to help pay for minimal product listing fees on eBay. Monthly store fees and listing fees can be written off as a business expense on your income taxes if you’re serious about learning how to make money on eBay, so keep receipts and packing and shipping expense lists for your end of the year bookkeeping efforts. Generate extra income, have fun selling and most of all, make money online with eBay.

Tips of Indian designer Actress
The very first official Indian designer for Barbie clothes launched her own label ‘Nisshk’ at ‘Fuel’ yesterday as mommy Neeta Lulla with family, watched her outshine one and all. This line of her is a complete girly collection reflecting her own style and sensibility. The range has a vintage feel to it; one could easily say that designs are dedicated to teenagers. However, each ensemble is so young and vibrant that anyone can wear it. The Black story had a full range of dresses with beautiful round necklines and stone works that made it look classy. Whites once again had their own purity with minimalism. Pinks and greys were also found aplenty. Net, georgette, chiffon, beautifully combined with crochet work and knits looked sensual. Pearls and other beaded accessories enhanced the vintage feel. Just teaming up those with veiled headgears would be reminiscent to that 80’s look. Juhi Chawla couldn’t stop praising Nishka, in her words “I am amazed to see her designs. I wish I had teenage daughters and then I would have chosen most of it (the collection) for them. Initially, I was expecting her designs to be influenced by Neeta’s designs however, I am actually surprised. It’s totally different, completely ‘Nishka’. ” Though Esha Deol loves to dress up in black, Nishka managed to mesmerize her with baby pinks and whites. “Personally, I like to be simple and mostly prefer black, however, I must confess that Nishka has done a fabulous job at this young age and managed to convince me likewise. Having ‘Neeta’ with her is an advantage and I am sure, she will carve a niche for herself pretty soon”, said Esha at the launch. Well we all are eager to know how Neeta felt about it, so here goes- “Nishka is a very hard working girl. Unlike me, she is truly focused on whatever she is doing at a time. In fact her design sensibility reflects her persona and taste. I have always been a tough boss to her when it comes to professional training, hope she does really well in this million dollar industry”. ‘Fuel’ is one of the premiers in the business houses and also believes in giving a chance to young talents. Falguni Jhaveri from ‘Fuel’ says “I have always known Neeta’s designs but quite surprised to see Nishka do such creative work in her own style. It’s a privilege to retail her designs from our store”. The fashion industry appeared like how to congratulate Nishka. Mr. Anil Chopra (Lakme), Lubna Adams (choreographer), Vikram Raizada (IMG), designers Vikram Phadnis and Anita Dongre visited to take a sneak peak of the young designers collection. We also spotted Leena Mogre, Royel Padamsee, Kishan Mulchandani and Parvez Damania. Neeta’s association with Bollywood attracted most of the stars at the brunch. Sameera Reddy, Aftab Shivdasani, Celina Jaitley, Esha Deol, Juhi Chawla, Pooja Batra, Shreya Sharanand Neetu Chandra were few of them. Models, Kavita Kharayat, Netra Raghuna than and Deepti Gujral also made a quick appearance. Stylekandy. com was the first to report designer Pria Kataria Puri will be showcasing her collection in a fund raiser event at the annual Miss India, USA pageant. Now, in another first of sorts, we bring to you the coverage of the event with first hand information and pictures, before it’s even aired on national television. The event opened with Pria’s spectacular fashion show, showcasing an ‘INDO WESTERN’ collection. Top models walked the ramp, all of them ex- Miss Indi as, USAs and Globes. There was a silent auction of few of pieces from the collection. Pria said, “I am very excited and honoured to represent India once again in an international platform for a great cause!” PKP had been invited to showcase at the same platform last year too. Lisa Ray, Judge of Mr and Ms Globe looked ravishing in Pria Kataria Puri’s dresses- “she loved Pria’s outfits so much, she decided to wear a golden sexy number for the red carpet and an off-white tulle elegant indo western outfit for the later part of the evening. Kiely Williams, who also walked the ramp and the Chetah Girls, looked stunning in Pria’s silk jersey gowns and antique uncut bangles. Top celebrities from Hollywood and Bollywood came together to go down the red carpet, greet fans, pose for pictures, and experience an amazing night.

The ‘Get It Right’ 80s Vintage Guide
Well it’s official, the eighties are back with a vengeance! Love it or hate it, we guarantee you’ll succumb to at least one eighties trend by the end of the year!Sure you can pick up some eighties inspired fashion from a high street chain or designer label, but why not go all out authentic (and save a packet) but buying original vintage?With a whole array of vintage to choose from, from the sublime to the ridiculous and everything in-between, how can you be sure you get it just right? In this guide we explore the eighties trends you should be following and how to wear them at their best. . . Acid Wash DenimVery Agness Deyn, acid wash denim is back and as punchy as ever. We’ve seen some glorious mini dresses, skirts, shorts and ripped jeans, all of which can be found in there original vintage form. And if you’re handy with a Singer, find some vintage acid wash jeans and make your own hot pants or mini for the summer. Don’t forget jackets too, keep them cropped and fitted or blazer shape for a look that’s bang on trend. BatwingsAvailable in both long and short sleeves, the batwing has made a few appearances in recent years, so if you’re lucky you might already own one. This time it’s all about the colour, pattern and detail. Stripes, polka dots, nudes and sparkles are most definitely in. Material can be thick and knitted or fine and silky. The ever flattering batwing can also be used in the multi layer look, perfectly versitile. Bold ColourNeons are fab and oh so hot, but as long as it’s bright, block and in no way understated, then you’re right where you need to be. This trends are bound to build momentum as the summer months approach, so get buying now. Clashing is encouraged so get creative. We’re talking orange dress, cerise heels and lime accessories – but if you’re brave enough to carry this off then don’t forget the St. Tropez! SequinsWe’ve all had enough of the doom and gloom, so glitz and glamour has been reignited to make us all feel extra special! Sequins make an appearance on many other looks – jumpsuits, blazers and one shoulder dresses. You can find lots of sequinned eighties vintage gems, or buy something plain and get customising!ZipsNot for the faint hearted, zips are mega eighties and mega trashy! Best in black, look for tops, dresses, jackets and skirts with oversize or contrast colour zip detail. This is one trend that must be kept in isolation, don’t mix multiple zipped separates if you want to keep your chic factor. Polka DotsThink Grease, Fame and Barbie. Polka dots are a cute and easy to find print that can be mixed, matched and worn in any colour combo. Best kept to dresses and skirts, but found on some snappy little blouses, polka is even more tongue in cheek than the first time round. For extra punch, try oversize dots and for sleek summer tailoring go for tiny ditsy print. One ShoulderA one shoulder dress will blast you into the outer fashion stratosphere and beyond. Seen all over the latest red carpets, this look has just the right balance of sex appeal, glamour and class. For fun holiday wear try a micro mini one shoulder dress or a printed one shoulder play suit. For the pinnacle of evening wear chic, go for an all out floor length gown in simple shimmering fabric. JumpsuitsNever to be confused with the (very naff) catsuit, your jumpsuit should be big and blousey. Shoulder pads or overworked shoulders are good, buttons are great and drawstrings and sequins add glamour and grace. Make sure your jumpsuit can be pulled in at the waist and keep trousers wide, not tapered. For the summer months, go for a sweet and sexy short playsuit (loads of pretty prints available) This wearable trend could take you right through to 2010 so invest wisely. Or just buy enough to feed your fix all year! No decent vintage boutique or website will be without these all-in-one gems so get searching. . . NOW!BlazersIf you don’t own one already then you need to get shopping! The perfect item to give your outfit that tailored or boyfriend edge. A masculine shape is preferable, tartans and checks are edgier and big buttons are a must! Dark colours will be more versatile but don’t be afraid to try bright whites, electric blues or ruby reds!So there we have it, our distinct guide to wearing eighties trends the right way. These rebirths can go horribly wrong but with a little guidance you can make them work in your favour. And remember, the best thing about buying vintage is the reassurance that you’ll be the only girl wearing that outfit. And we all know how great that feels. . . .
