Jessica is back on Ebay. She has revamped the ad in such a way as not to violate Ebay's guidelines. She sent me an email to let me know. The new ad can be viewed at:

Jessica's New Ad

I replied:

Awright!!! Way to go, Jessica. I think starting with $5,000 is a lot more reasonable, actually. The folks on my music forum are gonna be happy to know that you're giving it another shot. Well, some of them will be. Some disapprove of the ad. You know how it is...

I've noticed with Ebay ads that the vital thing is to provide information that catches people's attention in a unique way. I'd say you have accomplished that. :-)

I saw one amazing ad a guy did. He had had a nasty breakup and divorce, after what he described as 3 hellish years of marriage. It was the way he described it that was so damned funny...you would have to read it. It was a comic masterpiece. Anyway, he'd really been burned financially, but he had one thing his wife didn't take when she left...the wedding dress! And it was a friggin' EXPENSIVE one too. He'd forked out I think about $5,000 for it. It had diamonds and stuff on it. So...he was selling the wedding dress on Ebay. He had several beautiful photos of it...and guess who was modeling it? HIM. And this was a big, strong, brunette guy with a beard...looked sort of like a biker. It was hilarious.

He said all he wanted was maybe half of what he had paid for the dress...

Well, the ad was so brilliant that over 75 people ended up bidding on that dress, and he finally sold it for over $12,000!!!! Now THAT was a good ad. Me, I just buy and sell hobby stuff. Model airplanes and that sort of thing. I've been into that all my life, along with music.

So, I'll be watching and see how you do. Hey, I hope the weather's good in Texas. There's a lot of snow here in Canada.

Cheers,

George
