I'm in no position to fat shame your beautiful Potty. I'm the proud owner of a mostly German Shepherd mix breed girl that can be accurately described as a tank dog.

Something new in my little eBay store: vintage Sci Fi paperbacks. The covers give a glimpse of what our grandparents thought the future would look like. Too bad we haven't discovered beautiful aliens in revealing clothing yet!

This ad for women's girdles was on the back cover of Wambi Jungle Boy #11, a comic book from 1951. I'm not sure a comic book was the best forum to reach its target audience.

So what if he mispronounces a few words? Don't go all nucular on him!

Keep your voice down. If they find out, they might switch to invading Canada because we've got the infrastructure in place to mine our bitumen.

I've been a fan of Conan since the first movie. Arnold vs. James Earl Jones: gotta love it!

Fantastic Adventures Volume 2, Number 4 (1940) It's in pretty rough shape but it exists!

This Sci Fi pulp magazine is in pretty rough shape but it does show what previous generations thought the future might look like

One of the bad things about having a secret headquarters is that you can't sell the naming rights to your building. Just imagine: The Krispy Kream Donuts Antifa Headquarters or the Hormel Chilli Antifa Headquarters!

Vintage clothing is great! This is a vintage Schott NY leather bomber jacket. It was a little small for me otherwise I would have kept it instead of selling it.

The front cover of Eerie Magazine 1972 Annual is great but the ad on the back cover is pretty awesome too!

I'm with the author. You can't harass your co-workers, you can't have an ashtray on your desk , and you can't have a poster of a scantily dressed woman hanging in your office anymore.

Sure, there's been major improvements in productivity, efficiency, and workplace morale but .....

I'm trying to diversify my listing in my little store on eBay by offering some pulp magazines. I love the scandalous covers and provocative story titles!

As an alternative, people could pay a little more tax and basic medical care could be offered to everyone and then taxpayers can save a bunch of money by not having to buy insurance at all. Seems to work in most other industrialized countries.

I'm in the lower mainland but I don't do the shows anymore. After renting a van and paying the booth fees, I had to hustle just to cover the overhead.

Plus I'm getting a little old for the load in and tear down. Do you know what a full long box of comics weighs?

Could it be that industrial pollution, micro plastics in our bodies, and the stress of modern day life has affected sperm count?

No, "they" say women voting, unions, medical care for all, and banning corporal punishment in schools is bad for the 'nads.

It's hard to know what to believe.

I guess Americans are on their own when it comes to infectious diseases. The current regime seems to think that Ivermectin and some push-ups will prevent or cure anything, You might want to consult your doctor for real medical advice.

Canada Post workers will return to work, hoping Canadians take up their cause | CBC News Canadians should start receiving mail again on Tuesday, after Canada Post workers shift from nationwide strike action to a rotating strike on Saturday morning. CUPW, the union representing Canada Post...

This is good news for Canadians selling on eBay like me. Canada Post is the only carrier that delivers to the more remote places in Canada.

I tried eBay's AI once and it wrote a whole paragraph of adjectives. My high school teachers and university professors stressed being concise. They would not be impressed.

Commander Montgomery Scott, the chief engineer of the Enterprise and my favourite Sci Fi character. I always admired his ability to get the ship running again just in the nick of time.

Outer Space's favourite Scotsman was played by James Doohan, a Canadian of Irish descent.

I just listed this silver age X-Men comic book this afternoon. It got 23 views in a matter of hours and sold this evening. I've never experienced anything like it on my little eBay store!

One of the items I used to sell at vintage and antique markets was West Coast First Nations art. I'm a big fan of wood carvings.

If you're ever in Vancouver, you should visit Brewer's Row in Port Moody. It's 5 craft breweries with tasting rooms within a staggering distance of each other (also a distillery and a great ice cream store!)

I made my first eBay sale to a buyer in the US since 35% tariffs and the end of de minimus exemptions. It's a $6 comic book, originally printed in USA, but I was notified that a required security check has delayed delivery. Red tape will cause more harm than the actual tariffs.

It's too early to call it a recession. Give it time and it might even become a depression.

This is weird because you can set a minimum offer amount you're willing to accept. If you want to build repeat business you need to set your minimum at a %off that screens out the low ballers but offers a good deal to serious potential buyers.
