The Practical Billionairess Explores Ebay!
If you simply can not find a gown at a thrift store or consignment shop, you might want to try ebay (">Link ). Have you tried ebay, darling? It is an auction website where all sorts of non-billionaires sell all sorts of billionaire-friendly merchandise! I took a look & found wonderful gowns starting at $7.95 with shipping! Even a better value than the thrift store! You can also find long gloves, diamonds, fur coats, pearls and even lorgnettes there!
There are a few tips to make ebay shopping easier for you. If you do a search with only a few terms, you will actually come up with more items to peruse than if you have more terms. For example, if you search with the words “evening gown 10” you will come up with ~428 items. A search for “fabulous size 10 evening gown for billionaires for bush”, sadly, comes up with zero items.
Also, there are a few things to watch out for on ebay: Beware of sellers who list a very low starting price for their items with no shipping costs. There are some sellers which will charge a very large shipping and “handling” charge for a modestly-priced item to make an enormous profit! Always make a sure you know exactly how much the seller will charge for shipping and handling before you bid. Feel free to send a polite email to sellers who haven’t listed shipping charges. Yes, it is crucial to wait for a reply before you go ahead and bid on the item! After all, it’s just fine for a fellow billionaire to make an extreme profit off one of the unwashed middle-class masses, but not off of you, a fellow Billionaire!
In addition, check the sellers feedback for both the number of sales they do and whether there have been problems. It is also crucial to read all the information about an item, especially the fine print! Make sure you scrutinize any photos very carefully. Sometimes a blurry photograph is just a way to hide the flaws in an item!
Finally, when you are bidding on an item, it is important for you to set a price that includes the shipping of the item. What is the sense in spending $5.95 to ship a $1.99 item? It is also so very important that set the price you are willing to pay for an item, submit that price as your maximum bid and stick to it! It is so very easy to get caught up in the excitement of bidding that you pay too much for an item. And wouldn't you rather spend that money on your next ski trip, darling?
