When to eBay?

One of you guys need to have a baby so I can regift it. I'm considering keeping it in case the first one gets lost (it's supposed to last forever). Our storage situation is at critical, so even this small box irks me.

Heehee. I just donated that one. I'm sure it'll make someone happy...

Thanks for the advice. I have a paypal account...what fees do they take out when you're selling?

I can't remember the last time I sold something on eBay. I think I've usually left it to GD to deal with.

I use Priority Mail for the most part, and have the boxes delivered to me free of charge (not an option for you to get, and store, a bundle of 25 boxes). If you don't have the postman at your door, that is a problem. Could you have GD send things from his work if it has postage on it? At my office, we have a USPS box that we can dump our out going mail to get picked up. Also, if it less than (I think) 16oz., it can be mailed from a blue sidewalk mailbox.

The fees from eBay are about 8%, and from PayPal about 3%. But with shipping a hasstle for you, a donation may be easier.

Good luck, and if I can help, let me know.
