We just got this Native American-style motorcycle figurine, it is fully dimensional, superbly crafted, and hand-painted for thrilling detail and realism – check out the die-cast engine assembly, saddle-stitch style seat with studs, the sculpted feathers, and the drilled-out front disk brakes. You can find it at our ebay and Bonanza stores.
A little more than a mo-ped but I could get used to riding across the country on this! But for now I’ll just have to keep dreaming!

Vallejo works with Julie Bell, his wife, painter, and model. His work is almost exclusively in the fantasy and erotica genres. His hyper-representational paintings have graced the covers of dozens of science fiction paperbacks and are featured in a series of best-selling glossy calendars. Subjects of his paintings are typically gods, monsters, and well-muscled male and female barbarians engaged in battle. Some of his male figures were modeled by Vallejo himself, and many of his later female characters were modeled by his wife.
We have more of these Calendars for sale at Bonanza and eBay…so far we’ve only got 6 of them up, but we are working to get the rest up, so keep checking back for them!
His latest works still retain heavy fantasy elements, but lean more towards the erotic rather than pure fantasy themes. Vallejo has been named as the artist guest of honor at Renovation, the 69th World Science Fiction Convention.

A Rose by any other name…
This was a bit of a surprise to us…the demand for old and previously owned perfume! Which proves the old saying, one man’s junk is another man’s treasure. This is also the fun part of our shopping for profit, discovering little known facts about the world around us.
A genuine Chic Parisien, the House of Guerlain was founded in 1828 by Pierre-François Pascal Guerlain. The first store was located in 42, rue de Rivoli, Paris. The Guerlain family owned the House until 1994 when it was sold to the LMVH group, the French luxury goods giant. As of 2008, Jean-Paul Guerlain, a fourth generation perfumer of the family, is still active as an adviser.
Shalimar (1925) was created by Jacques Guerlain (Pierre-François Pascal grandson). As its name suggests it is an oriental fragrance. In the Guerlain website it is described as a voluptuous, sensual and bewitching perfume (quote: “wearing Shalimar means surrendering control to the senses”)
Aramis is one of the oldest of the Estee Lauder Company’s more than twenty-five recognized brands, launched in 1964 as the first line of cosmetics products designed specifically for men.
The signature Tommy Hilfiger cologne was launched in 1995 and has warm scents of cinnamon and cranberry.
Calvin Klein, a pioneer of designer jeans, underwear and the wholesome, all-American look, and launched Truth Calvin Klein Men in 2002. It is a scent drawn from nature. This aromatic, sensual, woody fragrance is centered around a clean, watery, green freshness that is accented by aromatic basil and fresh cardamom. Sexy. Masculine.
Loris Azzaro (b. 1933) was a French fashion designer, known for his glamorous party dress creations for French high society women. He found success rather quickly. With his first store opening in 1962, his business had become well established by 1968. Over time he dressed many celebrities such as Raquel Welch, Sophia Loren and most recently, Nicole Kidman. In 1996, the male fragrance Chrome came onto the scene and is now one of the top selling men’s colognes in the market.

My wife and I are new to this online selling thing, so we are constantly reevaluating our methods. Well with the major price hike that ebay has announced for March 30th, looks like a lot of sellers are reevaluating. From what I have read some sellers are saying that their cost of selling on ebay will double. A lot of sellers are saying that they will quit, that the increased costs will completely eat up any small profit margin that they had left.
In our limited experience, since our items are unusual, some, one of a kind, we are kind of stuck with the high prices at ebay. We have everything listed at Bonanzle as well, but things just don’t get seen there as much. So it goes without saying that the sales are low. But our costs after listing at Bonanzle for almost 5 months - zero dollars.
I have learned alot reading the message boards at ebay, I guess they do these rate hikes every year, and they do it very cleverly, ebay’s pricing structure seems to be written by the IRS, full of loop holes, all obviously designed to glean ebay a penny or two on each transaction. I have even noticed software glitches that always seem to error in ebay’s favor. (keep your eye on the gallery check box, it has very very annoying glitch that costs you 35 cents, regularly)
