Title: Capone helps me sell things on Ebay!
Post by: tigerbaby on February 23, 2009, 13:02:15 PM
Last night I was organising stuff to sell on eBay, which includes taking photos of items I'm selling! Capone thought it was a great game, and stepped in almost every time I took a picture - to fight the camera cord.

Here is what one of my ads looks like:

And this is a picture I didn't use in the end cos he was sitting on the top! (some people are funny about buying clothes from a household with pets for obvious reasons as allergy etc)

Is it just me, or would anyone else bid on stuff PURELY because there is a cute cat in the photo?  :shify:

I was worried for a minute there as I remember quite a while ago, someone tried to sell a cat on eBay  >:( - loads of us complained and it was removed. If I remember rightly, someone on here took the cat.

Anyway, back to your question. I think it is cute and adds value - but I am biased  :Luv2:

You're right Mark, it does sound a bit like that. I've changed the subject line!

Chilli is exactly the same, this is the second ebay item she's sneaked into, a breaker bar OH was selling.

Been there! Dave was constantly trying to get into the pictures, I did manage to get mine done without him in eventually though.

the cowgirl skirt? If it doesn't sell you can have it! I'm sure you will look great in short skirt!! By the way - it's not actually THAT short!

when I was selling up the house in Queensland, the agent took a photo of sofie sitting in my suitcase and led the ad with that image ... since it was a gorgeous house, I was not impressed, but it certainly brought in the punters!!

I like the stripey sailor tie neck top, if I bid on it and win, can I have a piccy of capone in with it? I think you'd miss him too much if I asked for him to be posted with it!

I like the Blondie hoody.....but I have to say it is disappointing to read that Capone isn't included! ;)

Mark, the cat you're thinking of was called Filly who we managed to get into a rescue placement. Picture below!
