How to List Masters of the Universe Figures

This may seem like a silly guide however, I found that many people have listed these items incorrectly and thus lost out of bigger profits. First off when you snap a picture of the item make sure they are standing up and that the item is clean. Many of these vintage figures have dirt from being played with over the years and if they are loose from the package you can take a little bit of water or alcohol and put it on a q-tip to clean the figure. Nobody wants to recieve a dirty figure and if they do its possible you may recieve a negative feedback. Its importnat to take the time that the product you ship out is clean and if its clean in the picture you will be able to get more out of it. Secondly, by standing the figure up it looks much better in the picture and drives the selling price up. I have sold multiples of the same item and sold the same item that is in worse shape than another for more simply because I stood it up rather than laying it down. Its harder to take a standing up picture and requires you actually bend down and get eye level with the item. Lastly and most importnat PUT THE NAME OF THE FIGURE FIRST!!! DO NOT PUT MOTO anywhere in the listing SPELL IT OUT and if you don' thave room pay the money for the subtitle!!!! HERE IS AN EXAMPLE LISTING: RAM-MAN VINTAGE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE MINT FIGURE!!! This way when they search for Ram-Man they will get it first!!! I listed a dozen or so of these figures with MOTO in the title and He-Man before the name and they did not sell after being re-listed about 3 times. On the fourth listing I changed the heading to the correct way and they sold each recieved multiple bids!!! So even though this may seem like a simple guide, take my advice and just try it out!!!! Making money is why we sell on ebay, why not make as much as you possibly can!!!!

The newbies seller guide to shipping.

If you are new to selling on ebay you will find this very helpful. Shipping on ebay is simple. What you first need to do is research on the post ofice , fed ex , ups and etc. They will have pamplets of there shipping prices for in the united states and international. I find these to be very helpful. You can use these pamplets to estimate shipping and usually they are not off but maybe 2 or 3 cents. First of all you will need a scale to weigh your items. And for large or over sized items you will need to measure length width and hidth. I have found anything that is large and heavy is better to ship fed ex , ups etc. NOTE : Charge only for shipping costs. Doing so will lead to more sales.

Why Liquid Vitamin, Mineral, & Antixoidents Protect You

Science shows that liquid vitamin, mineral, and antioxidents are the only way you can protect your health from the ravages of depleted soil, poor environmental exposures, chemicals and additives in our food, and aging digestive tracts. Liquids start absorbing within 5 minutes. (I'm my best test case.) Pills are loaded with unnecessary, potentially harmful fillers like calcium carbonate and glue. Your body doesn't start absorbson in the month on down. Pills have to be digested and sent on down the line for absorbson. Don't be fooled. You must use a liquid to get into your body what the lable says you're getting. Otherwise, the supplement passes through. Everyone should take supplements. Everyone should take liquids.
The majority of traditional, classically designed dietary supplements in tablet and pill form have a documented history of poor absorption and use by the human body. This has been due to inadequate formulation and consideration of the supplemental nutrient delivery system used. It’s no secret that graphic evidence of this can be seen in wastewater treatment plants, outdoor portable bathrooms and even on X-ray. These forms of supplements are ineffectively used by the body- containing supplement designs with low quality raw materials, excessive fillers and binders, poor nutrient delivery systems and the common use of outer waxy coatings.
Where does absorbsion start? Your mouth. Just as your skin absorbs what is it exposed to, your mouth and there down absorbs. You don’t have to wait for your stomach to digest a pill loaded with calcium carbonate and glue to get to your lower intestine. Start absorbsion immediately with liquids with the technology that has smashed the size of the vitamin, mineral, and anti-oxidants to a level quickly absorbable. Quick test? Take a bit too much. Feel the difference immediately? I took extra liquid eye health product and had a headache in 5 minutes (just to test if I’m really getting the product into my body). Oh ya, it’s going there.
It has been estimated by scientists that 10 years from now, most if not all vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidant products will be in liquid form. Stop wasting money on fillers that pass though your body. With our depleted soil (USDA studies started in the 1930s), chemically laden foods causing cancer, poor environment exposure through the air we breath and the work conditions we labor under, you have to protect your heath with a real defense. That defense is liquid in form.
In addition, the normal aging process, combined with preservative-laden foods, stress and environmental toxins can also compromise the body’s ability to breakdown, absorb and use nutrients in even the best-designed tablets and pills.
The ORAC score is a definitive test for assessing the antioxidant strength of potential antioxidant compounds. The higher the score, the stronger the antioxidant capability of the compound.
Studies at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston suggest that consuming fruits and vegetables with a high-ORAC value may help slow the aging process in both body and brain. One "serving" of fresh fruits and vegetables has been given an ORAC value of 800.
Brunswick Laboratories (Wareham, MA) have conducted official testing of the antioxidant capacity of leading liquid nutritional supplements. Brunswick Laboratories is the premier ORAC testing facility in the nation. It is an independent, third-party analytical laboratory and does not endorse products.
Which product has the highest ORAC value? A liquid vitamin, mineral, and anti-oxident product (shown below). Why choose something more costly, more inconvenient to buy, and that you will literally flush out? Choose a liquid all around vitamin, mineral, anti-oxidant supplement.

Which Grading Companies To Choose - An Investors Guide

When investing money, most people don't know the first thing about the different types of Mutual Funds, T-Bills, Series EE or HH Bonds, Municipals, etc. They depend upon others that have become the experts to invest their money for them. They ultimately look at return on investment as their measuring tool as to how they are doing.Investing in coins is no different. Most people could not tell you the difference between an AU58 or MS63 coin or an MS65 or MS67 graded coin. They depend upon other experts to help them in this process. Since coin grading is still an art based on the ability and experience of the grader to subjectively impart a grade, it becomes very important to know that the grading company that you choose has the reputation to deliver consistent grades that are respected by the buying community. Just as some Mutual Funds are much better than others at choosing the right companies to invest in, so are are grading companies at delivering the promised grade and more importantly, the trust of the buying community.When the rare coin market was limited to a small number of numismatists trading with each other, three broad definitions were enough to determine grade: "Good" was a circulated coin with most of the detail intact; "Fine" was a circulated coin with clear detail and some luster on its surface; and "Uncirculated" was a coin which had never been in general circulation and therefore, retained its Mint State condition. Additionally, in the early 1970's, the American Numismatic Association board of governors recognized that something significant needed to be done about all of the counterfeit and altered coins that were plaguing the coin community.As the coin market grew, collectors realized that some "fine" coins were better than others. Even some uncirculated coins rose above the rest in detail, luster and general appearance. Soon terms such as "very fine" and "extra fine" began to emerge as collectors sought to further define the condition of their coins....and increase their value to other collectors. In 1948, Dr. William Sheldon, a renowned numismatist, developed the Sheldon Scale, assigning grades from "one" through "70" to coins on the theory that a "70" would be worth seventy times as much as a "one". Although coin collectors agreed on the scale, they could not agree on the standard. Thus, assigning the Sheldon Scale grades to any given coin is still a matter of subjective opinion.Coin buyers became aware that one of the fundamental factors in determining rare coin values is the physical condition, or grade, of the coin. Buyers determined that a coin graded Mint State 65 (MS65), for example, may have a market value many times greater than the same coin graded a Mint State 64 (MS64), although the difference between a MS64 and MS65 is virtually undetectable to the untrained eye. Thus, a coin sold by one dealer as an MS64 may be sold by another dealer as an MS65. In some cases a coin buyer could be victimized by product misrepresentations. As a result, buyers could be caught in the middle as to which grade was the correct grade and was the buyer paying too much for a coin. Thus, the third party grading services were born.The first grading service to enter the market was American Numismatic Association Certification Service or ANACS. ANACS was created by the American Numismatic Association (ANA) with a mission to identify counterfeit or altered coins. ANACS certified its first coin on June 15, 1972. Although started in 1972, ANACS did not begin encapsulating their graded coins in plastic holders until 1989. The first grading service to encapsulate their graded coin in plastic holders to protect the state of the coin was Professional Coin Grading Services or PCGS. PCGS started this process in February, 1986. Not long thereafter, Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) started in 1987. It has been my experience that the top three companies you can count on are these three mentioned above. All three of these companies have significant history, experience, expertise, and protocols that provide a high degree of buyer confidence that the grade of the coin you see in their holder is the grade it should have.But what about return on your investment or "value of the coin" as based on the trust given by buyers to the grading company as determined by the delivered sell price. If we look at the sell prices of the same coin given the same grade by the three different companies, it becomes very apparent that the coin buying community places different value or trust on the three different companies. It has been my experience that PCGS outperforms NGC which outperforms ANACS when compared to "hammer price" or price paid for the same coin of the same grade. Consistently, PCGS stands out on top with the highest values obtained for coins as compared to the other two. NGC rates a near second with ANACS a distant third. Any other grading companies are far back in the pack when it comes to delivering value of a coin sold.Regardless of whether or not there is truly any technical differences in grading by the three companies, perception in the public eye states that there are significant differences. Thus, a coin buyer wanting to purchase coins for an investment must always consider the "public perception" as this is what drives value. Just as in any Publicly Held Company on one of the stock exchanges, perception of the company is what drives the stock price and if the perception is that the value of the company will go higher, more people will want to purchase that stock and drive the stock price higher. Comparatively, if the trust and perception of a company's grading performance is high, more people will want to purchase coins graded by that firm causing the market to place a premium on coins graded by that particular company. Obviously, at this point in time, PCGS and NGC has favor in the coin investor's eyes and commands a significant premium over the other grading companies. And as an investor, I would want to place my money on the grading company that will obtain the greatest return for me in the long term.

Why OEM Battery Charger?

Why do you need an OEM (original equipment) AC battery charger for your cell phone? The only AC battery charger designed to work properly with your phone and your battery is one made by the original manufacturer. The generic AC chargers you see for sale at cut rate prices do not meet your original manufacturers specifications. They will usually work to some degree but you can risk ruining your battery and your phone if you decide to use one. The specifications on a generic AC charger are not as precise as an original equipment AC charger. The voltage output and the current output will normally have a much wider range so that the charger can be used with many different brands and models. This can definitely contribute to reducing the life span of your battery. Read the ad carefully when buying an AC charger. A lot of ads will list the brand name first in the title but in the body of the ad you will see a disclosure that the charger is not an OEM (original equipment) charger. Ask any questions you may have before you buy.

Take a all-in-one liquid vitamin, mineral, antioxident!

Eniva Vibe Why take multiple, costly vitamins, minerals, and antioxidents when you can take a one-in-all supplement? Why be sick if you don't have to. Build a strong immune system, promote collegan, strong bones, a healthy heart, high ORAC Antioxidant Rating (cancer prevention), and acomprehensive nutrient mix to address numerous health goals. Do not take pills! Science has shown that absorbsortion starts in the mouth with liquid supplements. You don't have a gizzard like a chicken so pills are waste products.Why our food is inadequate: America leads the world in nutrient-depleted soil. This fact has been quietly known for decades. Even the US government in US Senate Document 264 from the 74th Congress in 1936 stated:
“99% of the American people are deficient in minerals... The alarming fact is that foods, fruits, vegetables, and grains now being raised on millions of acres of land no longer contain enough certain needed minerals and are starving us, no matter how much of them we eat.”
At the Earth Summit Statistics meeting in 1992, experts revealed information conclusively showing that farmlands in North America were 85% micronutrient depleted.
As you age, the body replaces cells in your organs and tissues. Why, then, are they often not as good as when you were younger? One of the primary answers is STRESS.
Bodily stress is caused by many things—mental strain, physical exertion, environmental toxins like cigarette smoke and pesticides, even poor diets! Stress can be dangerous because damaging molecules called FREE RADICALS are generated. Free radicals are harmful scavengers created INSIDE your body that cause tremendous harm and accelerate the signs of aging—disrupting body systems, destroying cell membranes, mutating cells, even reprogramming your body’s DNA! However, ANTIOXIDANTS are nature’s way of fighting harmful free radical scavengers.
Antioxidants convert free radicals into HARMLESS elements and neutralize their damaging effects. Combining multiple and specific anti-aging nutrients, just like adding ingredients to a gourmet meal, requires correct amounts, balanced ratios, and the right mixing techniques. If any one component is out of balance, just like in making a gourmet meal, the end result is Disappointing. That is why no other company has been able to perfect a comprehensive ALL-IN-ONE anti-aging supplement. Most companies focus either on one primary ingredient and promote the benefits of that ONE ingredient as a total health answer, OR combine very, very small (and ineffective) amounts of many ingredients to make the label ”look“ good. The end result is a product that delivers very little nutritional benefit.
Look for1. Facts with IntegrityInterpreting the labels of some multi-nutrient products is like trying to read a foreign language… you're just not sure what they're saying. Some companies do not even know the amounts of some ingredients in their products - they say "it varies from one batch to another" or "there is really no way to know the true amounts."
2. Scientific BalanceIronically, the science of correct nutrient ratios and interactions is often overlooked by most nutritional manufacturers. The manufacturer must consider the laws of chemistry and body balance have been respected. No ingredient is sourced, or technical process explored unless it is grounded in qualified, scientific principles. Volumes of research documents, clinical studies, and test results must be reviewed and incorporated into the product.
3. Unique IngredientsThese unique ingredients possess a multitude of health benefits well known to the scientific community. Many companies will have you buying multiple supplements in pill form. This is not necessary.
4. High ORAC ScoreShort for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, ORAC is an analysis that measures the total antioxidant power of foods and other substances. It indicates the amount of dangerous free radicals an antioxidant can "absorb" or neutralize. Scientific findings from the USDA suggest that eating plenty of high-ORAC fruits and vegetables may help slow the aging process in the body and brain.
5. Class 10,000 ProductionMake sure the product is formulated and produced within a Class 10,000 Clean Room Manufacturing Facility. This is the same type of environment where heart pacemakers and super-computer chips are manufactured. The manufacturer must have complete control over environmental factors such as air quality, temperature, pressure, and other variables. The manufacturere must go through strict process controls and inspections to ensure both safety and efficacy.

BIRTHDAY PARTY PLANNING FOR CHILDREN

The day is getting closer and your getting nervous. What will you plan for your child's birthday party? How can you make things go as smooth as possible no matter what kind of party you have? Here are some guides or guidelines to help you along.
One month before birthday - Discuss with your child the kind of party she/he would like to have. If your child wants to have a special kind of party, for instance have a clown or magician present at the party, this is the time to locate, hire, and contract said clown or magician. Go to the internet and look under clowns or magicians. Once found call the performer and make sure the date and time is secure. If you need to put a deposit down, most performers will accept credit cards as well as personal checks, money orders, etc. at this time.
If your child wants a pizzas party, skating party etc., again, this is the time to book the party. In larger cities you might even consider an earlier appointment time depending on the popularity of the event in your community.
Three weeks before party - Shop for present if this is a part of your birthday party ritual.
Purchase any decorations you will need. Especially if you are going to get it on ebay. This gives you a good time to receive the product.
Two weeks before party - send out invitations. If it is a classroom party make sure that the teacher has approved the party as well as the compliance of the school. If it is going to be at your home, a pizza parlour, etc., make sure all is set. Plan the party bags if you are going to have them at this time. Again, you can purchase these at this time on ebay and it is still going to give you room.
One week before party - Order the birthday cake or cupcakes. If you are going to have a picture drawn on cake make sure the picture is at the bakery at this time.
Plan what birthday child will be wearing for birthday.
Plan what you and rest of family will be wearing.
Find out if there are going to be any travel problems and attempt to correct them at this time.
Day before party - Go over manners with your child. Explain what is expected of him/her. Thank you's, No thank you's, please, and pass are all appropriate words that should be discussed. Also, it is a good time to discuss the art of sharing. You don't have to share your new toys only to have them broken so soon after you get them, however, it is a good idea to discuss the art of sharing. Also, teach you child how to greet their friends at the door. Encourage them to treat their friends kindly. Share the game prizes with their friends, as well as cake, ice cream, etc. Teach them also how to thank their friends as they are saying good bye. And to show appreciation for the gifts that they received.
Plan a quick dinner meal on party day so you don't have to stress on what you are going to have to eat that night.

Party Day. Morning - It is always hectic on this day. Bath time first. Then make sure that everyone eats before they go to party if food is not going to be served.
Will finish this tomorrow - sorry - got tired. Didn't know how to put it on hold. Be back later. C
