HI THERE, IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I HAVE POSTED ANYTHING. SO HELLO TO ALL OF MY OLD CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS.

AS FAR AS THE HOLT RENFREW SHOPPING BAG. I WAS ONLY AWARE IT WAS OUT THERE BECAUSE OF THIS SITE. NO ONE CALLED ME FROM THE VANCOUVER STORE WHICH IS JUST ACROSS THE WATER FROM VICTORIA.

I CALLED LONG DISTANCE. GOT PUT ON HOLD FOR 10 MINUTES AND FINALLY GOT THROUGH TO SOMEONE NEW (AGAIN).

I BOUGHT 2 OF THE SHOPPING BAGS. THEY COST $250.00 + 13% TAX FOR A TOTAL OF $282.50 EACH.

THEN I PAID SHIPPING OF $12.00.

I HAVE IT LISTED ON EBAY AND MY FEES TO LIST WITH A RESERVE WERE $6.50.

IF IT SELLS I WILL PAY A FINAL AUCTION FEE (PROBABLY AROUND $7.00)

THEN THE PERSON WILL PAY WITH PAYPAL MOST LIKELY AND IT WILL COST ME ANOTHER $7.00.

I WILL THEN GET A BOX, PACK IT CAREFULLY USING NEW PACKING MATERIALS.

SPEND TIME IN LINE AT THE POST OFFICE.

IF I AM LUCKY I WILL MAKE A GIGANTIC PROFIT OF APPROX. $60.00.

I ALWAYS SEND INTERNATIONALLY AND DO NOT REQUIRE YOUR PASSPORT #'S OR SS NUMBERS.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT KEEPING UP WITH CURRENCIES, THE U.S. DOLLAR IS NOW AT PAR WITH THE CANADIAN $ SO THERE IS NO MORE “HUGE” DIFFERENCE IN PURCHASING IN EITHER COUNTRY.

IT MAY NOT BE WORTH AN ADDITIONAL $60.00 TO SOMEONE TO GET IT, BUT I FOR ONE WOULD GLADLY PAY AN EXTRA $60.00 FOR SOMETHING I WANT FOR THE CONVENIENCE. YES I MAKE A PROFIT, BUT MY TIME IS MONEY…..IT TAKES TIME TO TAKE THE PHOTOS, DOWNLOAD THEM, DO UP MY LISTING ETC.

JUST WANTED TO CLEAR THE AIR ON WHY THE PRICING ON EBAY.
