Virtual Blog Tour - Dar Sayre The Glass Guru of TheRIVERTHERANCHANDTHEBAY.com

Today's Blog Tour Stop is to visit with Dar Sayre who has just premiered as the "GLASS GURU" of the Talkshoe Radio program - THE RIVER THE RANCH AND THE BAY - http://www.therivertheranchandthebay.com. The show on Wednesday nights will feature a regular report from Dar on vintage glass and she's also agreed to help identify peices for listeners who forward pictures.

Full Disclosure - I'm the cohost of that show and Dar's friend for about 3-4 years. If you look at the right nav bar there's a gadget to listen to her on her first appearance on the show.

Dar sells on eBay and Bonanzle primarily although she does have a small presence on Amazon and soon a presence on Etsy for her hand-crochetted bikini's and sun tops!.

So Dar, Where do you sell?

Do you have a blog and what is it about?
2. I was told to blog about vintage glass...LOL, it started from my interview on the radio show -

What is your favorite place to hang out on the internet?
3.I dont have a favorite place to hang out on the internet...email takes up too much of my time.

4. How are you “handling” the current economic situation? i.e getting a real job, diversifying, expanding to other venues, contracting and reducing the number of venues?

I am handling the economy as I always have. I just keep listing...and hope its something folks will want to buy...for me, the economy hasnt had anything to do with it. My selling all types of items and on several venues happened a few years ago.

5 Where do you see your self being in 3 years? (a millionaire, in Tahita, working harder, retired etc.)

I dont know where I will be in 3 yrs..Tahiti sounded good tho!(ANY beach)

And that concludes our visit for today with DarSayre of http://www.recallingthepast.com/

Join us on Wednesday night at 8:08 PM ET on talkshoe for more glass info from the Glass Guru

Stay tuned for tomorrow's Blog Tour Visit - I think Cindy Shebley of Webseller's Circle is up next!

Why are eBayers better at Twitter??

I’m not using it as much as I could/should but it is a hoot to read!
Watch the most verbose people we know try to get a coherent thought into 140 spaces. LOL.

WE ebayers had training 'cause we had to do ebay titles in 55 spaces and feedback in 80. Cripes, 140 spaces is practically a novel! LOL

Dar - The Glass Guru strikes again!

Ok, like I said, Dar and I have been "talking" glass for several years. So since, I couldn't identify them, I sent her this picture

and asked for her help and...this very next morning she tells me they are Imperial! (well she said she was leaning towards Imperial). So I decided to flip through Hazel Marie Weatherman's Colored Glassware of the Depression Era 2 - the bible of depression glass even now 20+ years after Weatherman's death - and lo and behold - she's right!!

There they are on the upper right outside corner of page 179 - HAZEN - a 15 piece luncheon set with distinctive squared handles! and a gorgeous spring green color. These are mint and I'm selling them on ebay right now. So come on in to HAZEN and see what they go for! Cause if they don't get bid up, I'm just keeping them. They are so pretty!

This is the "gadget" to listen to Kat & I interview Dar Sayre about her glass collecting habit!

Dar Sayre on THERIVERTHERANCHANDTHEBAY!

On Wednesday night, my co-host and I (Kat Simpson and me, Beth Cherkowsky) had the opportunity to talk for awhile with a friend of mine! Dar Sayre.

Dar and I have been friends for about 3-4 years. We both joined a yahoo group at the same time and we got kicked out of it about 5 months apart. So I started my own yahoo group and Dar joined and now we are back together talking glass. She collects glass like I do, but she collect much more expensive and hard to find glass than I do.

Dar's been collecting for most of her life and she inherited a lot of glass from her grandparents. AND she's selling on ebay and bonanzle and some of it is glass but she's got some other cute things and some really neat antiques! So come along, listen and if you have a question about vintage glassware, you can ask her any Wednesday night because she's going to be a contributing editor now!

Here are her links to her stores on eBay and Bonanzle

My least favorite job of all -

TAXES!

IT's that time of year and God help me, I know we need to pay taxes but I hate it. And for those of you who are doing ebay or any online selling venue, here's an article I just read that helps explain are you a "hobby" or a "business" and what to do to move up to the business status so you can claim more deductions.

Check this out!

More later (I promise, I'm going to post more regularly now that MY taxes are done. )

Just some scenery -

I know you all are probably sick of snow - but...(there is a selling tip in here...just hold on a sec!)

So when it looks like this outside, do you really want to have to bundle up and trek to the Post Office with your packages?? I don't. I've been using Paypal shipping and carrier pickup from the PO since May 2008. And I love it. I'm so spoiled. You can do it with any online postage payment service, like Stamps.com or Endicia or the PO's own Clicknship. Paypal works for me cause that's where my spare change normally is so I can pay online, have the carrier come get them and go back to a nice warm room with my book and my tea....... sound good, huh? Try it you'll like it.
