		<description><![CDATA[I got started with thinklinkr while they were still in beta, and I&#8217;m still working out how exactly to best use it for Gail&#8217;s Fine China and this blog. It&#8217;s one of those new apps that is really simple on the surface, but lends itself to a lot more. Basically, it&#8217;s an online outliner that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Trying out yet another auction site &#8211; for buying,  not selling. (http://www.QuiBids.com) Very interesting &#8211; you pay for every bid you make, so the effort is to find a strategy to bid as little as possible. Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve figured out so far: wait to bid until something you actually want comes up. Makes it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ditched eBay some time ago without regret, and now I&#8217;m about to close my AuctivaCommerce account, too. Auctiva is a good service, very feature-rich and reasonably priced, but way overkill for a small business like mine that sells mostly at antique malls and relatively few pieces online. It was also cumbersome to have an online [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s become clear to me that the best auction bargains are often at the end of the auction, not at the beginning. At the end, the bidding is just less intense &#8211; whether due to exhaustion on the part of the audience, or a thinning out of dealers, or a lack of any more cash [...]]]></description>

The people in possession of job openings have not one but dozens of recruiters casting around for bids. The job-seeking audience is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I don&#8217;t like about this business is retail selling. That sounds ridiculous &#8211; why even start a business selling china if you don&#8217;t do retail? Well for one thing because packing china properly for shipment is an exacting, exhausting, frustrating chore. Because putting things up for auctions online is extraordinarily time-consuming.

Just goes to show you how clueless I can be &#8211; some of them have never been to an auction and didn&#8217;t know what happened there. I promised them they&#8217;d never buy any overpriced junk in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just got back from a gigantic information technology conference sponsored by Microsoft (TechEd, for those of you in the field). Educational from several perspectives, some of which don&#8217;t seem apparent to the typical attendee. There are extremely few women in technology. I think we knew that, but I didn&#8217;t get the full force of it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Attended a very interesting auction yesterday (J. Pandur) &#8211; lots of good china and collectibles, good atmosphere, some great deals. Wacko prices, though &#8211; the sheer range was astonishing. Someone purchased an empty cardboard box for $400 just because it had a picture of Hopalong Cassidy on it. On the other hand, someone else walked [...]]]></description>
