As with anything, the times provide a very clean way to make money on web-sites such as Ebay.  The times have currently changed for the better.  This new added change might have been very good for us all.  Since 2002, we have seen the rise and fall of GREED gone bad. Every where you look, you see someone overlooking trends and people taking full advantage of a good system.  Some EBay sellers were no exception to this as well.  The rise and fall of mystery auctions may have been a FAD in itself, but are the only ones to blame, since we didn't wish those that got burned to demand a better system of trade and balance sooner.  Even now, we still have people talking about the magical Mystery Auctions in guides, however, if you search through the search engine, they, themselves, are now very scarce to find.  I myself have never launched a mystery auction saying anything about products you have to guess about.

I REMEMBER WHEN!

I can always remember the good old days of 12-25-2005 when Ebay was still riddled with mystery auction merchandisers taking advantage of the "SO CALLED" - "MEN'S MYSTERY AUCTION GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU WEALTHY"   The people that were drawn in to this auction were just like I was, trusting in other sellers to give us the truth about what to expect when we won. When you hear the saying, "A Little Bitty Tear Let Me Down; stole My Life As a Clown",  it reminds me of the sad yet true fact that you can't cry over spilled milk.


It was the sheer expectation of quick fortune that brought us all in to these kinds of auctions.  More so, was the need to satisfy our own curiosity.  If you have ever watched the TV show Greed then you can usually understand how this principle work. It was the other people I so honestly trusted. 




If you click on this and you use this link, then you are you may draw the right conclusions about how these may work.

Quoting an Outstanding Member, "There's no better way to brand your name and company name than on one of the most popular and reputable web sites in the entire world. No matter what you're selling, eBay can seriously impact your bottom line. There's nowhere else on earth where you'll find 100+ million people brought together for the sole purpose of buying and selling."



What does this mean?  This means that nobody knows the time that we were concentrated at the computer trying to depend upon something important. The sign of the times warranted that we work harder, and try longer.  We all trusted what EBay was allowing.  The likelihood that  this type of auction, (and the days thereof), is long gone.




What Every You think Is real IS NO LONGER.  And Did EBay anticipate and monitor the rise and fall of this crazy fad?  Why did many try this many times then  get in and out of mystery auctions.
BECAUSE they Could?
And We'll Sit down In OUR NEW THINKING CHAIR AND THINK.
What do we want to do to you TODAY to try and make money.



The total loss of feedback reputation drove us to have integrity, while other people that knew better stole us blind.  THE ONLY REASON EBAY IS still so successful at what they do, IS THAT, we, as a people still require good, hard, honest, working people to prop us up.  I'll just say this.  I've Spent thousands of dollars on EBay Auctions alone, trusting that they would and could help me make a difference in my life, only to be thouroughly disappointed time after time at the hands of corporate greed.  If nothing mattered more that making a few dollars, EBay may have felt like a very scary place to the normal average users trying to sell things.


IF YOU AGREE WITH MY EVALUATION OF MY REVIEW, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO VOTE. THANKS!
