How to Sell a Plant on eBay

A few years back I wanted to get rid off a plant I didn't fancy. I have to admit it was not the nicest looking thing ever and it was pretty big ... and none of my friends fancied it either. So, rather than taking the easy option of turning the plant into compost to grow my tomatoes (I had had the plant for a couple of years already so ... I couldn't do that to her) I decided to try to find a new home for it.

But how? Well, at the time I was buying and selling stuff in UK's eBay, so I decided to take a look at the possibility of selling it in there. I saw that people were actually selling plants in eBay ... but ... not the most exciting adverts ever ... three or four views a week for plants' adverts ... with luck maybe seven ... so the chances were slim.

But ... I had a "marketing plan"! So I made the following advert and I got something like three hundred views ... got a couple of bids and I managed to find a new home for it ... and I got a healthy profit of about ten pennies if I remember correctly! :-D

Hi,

I need some help; I have been living happily in this house for quite a long time ... but ... now that she is long gone he is not taking good care of me! I am poorly watered (not that I mind being a "monstera deliciosa") and I have to do thing no plant should ever do! <:-|

First I have to cook for him ... not that I mind because I learned quite a few tricks just watching him cook (... Spanish people cook amazing things ...) but he is getting a bit to complacent and I ended up even cleaning his clothes :-(
Come on, I have been chatting with quite a lot of other plant friends and that is not what they do! Besides every weekend he arrives at home completely plastered and I have to clean up everything! That is not nice at all!

I've got enough!

I need a new home. A home with full light but not direct sun light. A home that waters me regularly but that leaves my compost dry a bit (I am originally from South America so I like dry climates). A home where I do not have to cook or clean never ever again. I want to be just a simple plant again!

I am about 1.70m tall, 0.60m wide, I come with a a white speckle-mannish (horrible ... now that he is not looking) pot and I managed to get a spare mosspole, just in case.

Please; bid me!

I cannot stand any more living with this man ... he is too much for me ... heeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!!

Thanks a lot!

Montse.

Manga Avatars and Mine Sweeper

A couple of quick updates that I didn't have time to post until now:

Yet another avatar creation web site, now you can create your own Manga (or mangaish) style avatars: http://mangatar.framiq.com. I hope you find the bits and pieces you need to create something you like ... if not, join the Facebook fan page and give me some feedback because I'll be doing updates from time to time.

And another game, a version of the traditional Mine Sweeper: http://minesweeper .framiq.com. In this case the difference compared to other versions is that the difficulty (board size and number of mines) is chosen by the other players and you can influence theirs! :-)

Enjoy!
