My Snappy Auction
Last week I decided it was time to do something with my old film camera. Since the day I bought my Digital Rebel last year my old Rebel 2000, once my pride and joy, has laid untouched in a fit of dust collecting. After considering my options I decided to take my camera to Snappy Auctions, a business that sells your stuff on eBay.
Now my camera is listed on eBay! Snappy Auctions created a nice listing for the camera (though they claim that it was “used very little by its previous owner” which isn’t true at all) and now I just sit back and watch the bidding! As of this writing the camera has received two bids and is going for about $20.
Snappy Auctions keeps 35% of whatever the camera sells for and then they mail me a check for the rest.  It’s a small price to pay when you consider how easy they make the process, and even more so when I admit that I never would have sold the camera on my own. Now I get to experience the thrill of selling on eBay without any of the work!
