I should have known better than to wear my Alice + Olivia mini dress to a restaurant when the weather is continuously fluctuating. Unfortunately, I didn’t and when I left dinner the other night it was nearly 11 pm and about 20 degrees cooler than when I left my apartment. Once again, against my better judgment, I took up my friend’s offer to go over to her place and borrow something to cover up before going out. Needless to say, the night ended with my losing her cropped black sequin Club Monaco jacket.
For eBay neophytes, there are a few key tips that can help you get the most out of the site. An important thing to think about is the time and day of the week an auction ends. Try to look for listings that end at odd hours of the day like rush hour or during dinner time, because fewer users are logged on. Also, auctions ending on Sunday mornings tend to sell for less and bidding in the last two minutes of an auction prevents you from overbidding just to win an item and from being outbid. eBay’s new Countdown feature, which counts down auctions in real time, is a great tool that can help you with bidding in the last minutes of an auction.
