Do you ever include a catalog with your items when you ship them out? Would that be totally obnoxious?
 
I include either a regular catalog or a mini in everything that I ship!
 
That's not obnoxious...it's clever!

It's a way to get your name into someone else's hands!
 
Oh, good idea....you are so clever! I haven't sold on ebay in a while, but I have some things that I need to list.
 
What a good idea!

On a side note I was actually kind of bummed more of my little boy clothes did not sell. I had some really nice stuff too. The kinds of things I always snatch up. Oh well I did make a few bucks. Maybee I will try craigslist.

Mostly 18 to 24 mos. Winter Jacket and snow pants 12 mos.
 
I've done it too, an old mini.

At first, I was thinking "is this wrong" and of course, I just did it.

WAY TO GO!
 
If you BUY on ebay be sure to mention something in your emails to them. I got an $800 show that way! I bought a couple of sleepers for my daughter and she emailed back saying that her husband loves PC and he did a catalog show! I'm still hoping he signs up :love: Definitely not obnoxious to include a catalog. You never know who wants something but doesn't know anyone who sells.

I think it's a little obnoxious when people send me payment (for PC stuff) and include a business card...for the SAME business as the host. :eek:
