So, from up here in the cheap seats, it seems to me that Amazon and other major companies have the scale and scope to work out insanely cheap rates with UPS, so they can offer “free shipping,” while the “retail” guy gets to make up for all the money they’re losing on Amazon.

Saturday when we got back home from our Friday’s 38th anniversary trip, I finished up the “project” I started a couple/three weeks ago. I removed all the crap from the attic, placed it in the garage and we tried to figure out what to keep, what to donate, what to sell, etc. It was a daunting task. Which brings me to something that maybe you guys can explain to me.
In the attic, my wife had a pretty large collection of “Precious Moments” figurines. She collected them in the 80’s, not as an investment, she simply liked the spiritual message they represented. So we got the big idea, that hey, they’ve been in an attic for 12 years, obviously we don’t need them. Maybe we should sell them? She agreed, and we opened an Ebay account.
