Bookmark It!

At OnlineAuction.com, we've got a bookmark button. It is similar to eBay's Watch List or Internet Explorer's Favorites list. This is a feature I use all the time, even if I don't end up buying the item. Do you use bookmarks?

We've also got a Favorite Sellers list, but I have to admit that I don't use it much. If you list an item that interests me, you are suddenly one of my favorite sellers!    And if our previous transactions have all been pleasant ones, you're likely to reside permanently on my "mental" list of favorite sellers. I have a good memory! I am also not the least bit nervous about purchasing from sellers who are new to me. What better way to make a new acquaintance?

But back to Bookmark It!

At any given time, I have 2 - 3 pages of bookmarked items. Remember when you were a kid and the Sears Christmas Gift Book arrived? My bookmark list resembles my Christmas list from years ago! You knew you couldn't have it all, but it remained on the list anyway. You hoped.

How do I discover all these treasures to bookmark? Well, browsing at OLA is easy! First, sit and watch the Featured Auctions for a bit. There's all kinds of eye candy in that scrolling banner! Then browse the category list, because you just never know what might spark your interest. And last, but not least, keep an eye on the Whats For Sale forum in OLA Chat. Many times I've been lured into an impulse buy, or bookmark, just because the seller featured an irresistible item in chat.

Once you've made a purchase or two, you'll develop a Favorite Seller list of your own, so don't forget to check those stores! OLA Sellers are always adding new merchandise! Have fun and browse... I guarantee you'll find a great buy!

This is probably a mistake, but I'll give you an idea of some items that currently reside on my bookmark list. Fight me for 'em, if you must!

OLA Welcome Home Sale Concludes

Today marks the conclusion of the OLA Welcome Home Sale. Over 62 sellers participated in the year's largest OnlineAuction.com sale, featuring 5000+ products, attractively priced, and promoting Classic Auctions which lasted for 7 days.

I am thrilled to say that I had several sales at Fleapirates Plunder! Thank you to all my treasured buyers! I am proud, and blessed, to be a part of such an active, friendly and professional community.

Holiday shopping was at the front of my mind this week, as prices were slashed and great deals abounded. You should have seen my bookmark list... it was over 3 pages long! Unfortunately, some unexpected home issues affected how much I could spend, and I was only able to snag one treasured gift. What didn't get gobbled up in the sale remains on my bookmarks, and I'll continue shopping again soon. I usually start holiday shopping early, don't you? Last year, I bought nearly every gift on OLA! This year will be no different.

My plunder this week is a purchase from The*Tiki*Shak. It is a Cardinal Bird Feeder that my Mom will adore! She loves cardinals, and collects anything that shows off those beautiful red birds. Tiki has lots of other neat treasures in her store... click on the cardinal pic and I'll take you there to browse!

This may not be the brightest idea I've ever had, but I am going to let you peek at a few of the items that are still on my bookmarks. (Fight me for 'em, if you must!) These items are still listed in Classic Auction style, and to see their details, just click on the photo. And don't forget... if you are not yet a member of OLA, sign-up takes only a minute or two, and it doesn't cost a thing to become a basic buyer. We'd love to welcome you to our community!
