10 Aug 09 Human Resources Social Network for sale on eBay – HRMtoday.com ; 34 bids at $1500 : 1000 members & 3500 articles. Bargain!

I came across a pretty interesting auction on eBay for an established human resources social network called HRMtoday.com ; it’s a well priced (about USD $1500 as I write this) investment if you have a bit of passion for running an HR type site.

Granted, the deal seems like a classic case of website / domain flipping, but the product is definitely there in this particular offer. The seller mentions the site has over 1000 members and 3500 blog posts. I visited the site (very briefly) and it’s very nicely done.

Anything under $5K would be a real bargain to anyone with a bit of knowledge in the human resources area, and interested in possibly starting their own online business…

04 Jun 09 Domain name denial.com sells for USD $6100 on eBay – good investment (and sale)

Lunchtime – yeah, I know, I should take a break from the net at least over lunch, but hey, Lady Grey is curled up next to me on the couch and I’m enjoying a slice of Premiere Moisson bread with tuna and Tzatziki sauce.

Now on to an interesting domain name sale over on eBay. The name denial.com auction ended with 49 bids at $6100… a pretty good deal, in my opinion, for both buyer and seller. I’m thinking it’s a great generic name that can have a wide range of applications – my first thought is to develop a portal for self-help.. or perhaps a news site about politicians and/or lawyers :P

It seems like a legitimate sale – although we’ll have to watch the Whois information for the changes and who the new buyer is. This is one of the rarer high value domain sales that take place on eBay; we’re used to seeing these type of transactions over at SEDO:

18 May 09 eBay Canada $0.05 – 5 cent listing day on May 19th – not a free listing day but great deal !

eBay Canada is having yet another 5 cent listing promotion on Wednesday, May 19. You can list your eBay auction, or fixed price, listings for $0.05 – it’s usually between $0.35 and $4.00 to list an item per category! This is a nice opportunity to list your items for a nickel. It’s a nice deal considering that often one of the biggest costs in gettings item on eBay is that initial listing fee.

It’s been a while since eBay Canada has one of these discount listing days, so it’s well worth taking some time to put up some of the stuff you’ve been considering selling. I will be tomorrow evening.

See full details at on eBay Canada ’bout this 5 cent listing day.

21 Apr 09 15 cent auction listing promotion on eBay today ! Save up to $3.85 in insertion fees!

There is a pretty good promotion on today on eBay and eBay Canada – including eBay Motors!

Until 23h59 PT (Pacific Time) tonight on eBay.com you can create auction listings for a flat fee of just $0.15! Depending on how much your starting price is for your item, that means you can save up to $3.85 per listing – or double that if you list in 2 categories.

It’s been several months since the last eBay listing promotion, and while this isn’t a “free listing day” you can save quite a bit of money on the listing fees if you have a few items to put up on sale.

The promotion is good on both eBay US (eBay.com) and eBay Canada but if you list on eBay Canada, you have to get your listing in before 23:59 EASTERN time… as opposed to the 23h59 PACIFIC time for the .com site!

You can see the details about the 15 cent listing promotion here, but to summarise:

- must have DSR (detailled seller rating) of 4.5 or more, or no DSR at all;

- The following listing types / categories are excluded from the promotion: Fixed Price listings, Media listings (including Books, Music, Movies & DVDs and Vide Games), note: Video Game systems are included in the promotion. eBay Motors Passenger Vehicles, Motorcycles, Power Sports, Other Vehicles, Motors Local Market, International, Live Auction, Professional Services, Real Estate, Ad Format and Store Inventory listings.

10 Apr 09 Shoemoney outs yet another Adsense check photo thief

Well, anyone who is somewhat into the Internet marketing space, PPC or CPA or whatever else, is certainly familiar with the (in)famous photo of Jeremy Schoemaker posing with his $127K Adsense check a few years ago.

Well, Jeremy is on top of his game and twittered about this eBay auction sale for a (mediocre) domain name InternetAirCard .com that uses the Shoemoney Adsense photo as the primary photo in the auction.

Chutzpah!
