a billboard. like for a price you can put anything on it and I'll drive around with it on my car for, say 2 months. I don't know how I would charge for this. any idea's would be nice. It would be cool if I could get a bunch of people to smoother it with anti bush stickers. I think that would be cool. I'm really thinking about doing this. I wonder if anyone would buy? what do you think?

1. Pro-Shrub is possible....
As far Anti-Shrub...Well that's mostly poor people like us who are against the war. Sorry you won't find the corporate or political culture so willing to stand with you against Shrub.

2. Register to sell (need credit card info and checking for this)
Take pics, upload pics, write the text, post to the site. It's pretty simple really. Need help, just holler. I sell on eBay all the time.

3. Thanks. It's an idea I thought would be cool and fun. It would have to be
Anti bush stuff, or anti republican stuff only.

to some free auction templates. You just have to upload your pics somewhere like your own web space or you can use eBay's iPix (not so great, but they get the job done).

6. Oh Yeah? Whatcha got, anything good?
I have a first edition autographed copy of Bill Clinton's My Life, pristine. Got two of them last summer at his booksigning and sold one for five hundred after I had it authenticated. Now there's so many phonies for sale for under a hundred that I refuse to list the second book till ebay actually enforces their fraud policy. Some of the autograohs are so blatanly false, it's comical. First dead giveaway is "private auction" by a user with zero feedback. lol.

8. I sell *gasp* NASCAR tickets for other people
And I've sold quite a few motorcycle/auto parts I know nothing about for my son, who is a cycle and tuner-junkie.

4. Here is one, no bids yet
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1467&item=5566219578&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

but sometimes people don't bid till the last minute.

If you write a funny ad with an original or startling title and text and lay it out well with html, you might get more interest. You might want to start it at as low as you can tolerate, too. Obviously a low starting bid attracts more interest.

People do tend to bid on the weird, so you never know.

Just click on the Sell button at the top of the page and follow the instructions.

7. I sell on eBay,,,,, you never know what is going to sell there,,,,
as a matter of fact you should do some searches & see if anyone else has done this in the last few months,,,,,

Maybe you'll get lucky & have your listing make the news!!!


Like everyone else has said, it's pretty easy & relatively inexpensive to try,,,,, Start your pricing low BUT it has to be what you are willing to take (what if you only get 1 bid?)

Good Luck with this :)

10. It's true! I sold some filthy old toupees once.
In general people are very honest. Keep your eyes out for auctions that are too good to be true with low feedback. Otherwise, it's the second best thing on the internet (DU #1!!!!)
