How to write an e-bay description




Andrea and I have decided that when writing an e-bay description you must be accurate, honest, and ridiculous. Last week we put six items on e-bay. We were confident in most of them, except for the Olympic cups. We decided to spruce up their description with clever adjuctives and to put funny pictures of them on the auction page. Well it worked, two people really wanted to buy them and one actually did. We decided to run with it this week, since most of our items are sort of ridiculous anyway. I thought that some of you might enjoy the descriptions so here is what we wrote for the glass dish, and coasters (shown in above photo's)


Retro stackable JOY plastic coaster set of 5

Don't miss out on this retro set of coasters. They will spruce up any
coffee table. They have the word JOY printed on each one. The word is
more visible on some than others so you can customize your coaster to
your varying level of joy! (see pictures) They appear to be from the
1970's and are made by RITEPOINT in the U.S.A.

Floral glass mini ash tray / soy dish / candle holder

What a versatile piece. This beautiful glass dish features a floral
design reminiscent of art noveau and asian art. We have come up with
many uses including: ash tray, spoon rester, candle holder, soy sauce
dish, key holder, and jewlery holder. And I'm sure that you can come
up with even more. You shouldn't miss out on this adorable addition to
your home, or car, or boat, or office.
