One of the big problems you see and experience on the eBay marketplace is the problem that sellers and buyers have with foul and petrous odors.When I was very young and first had strong cow manure hit my olfactiories I was shocked. Yet in the rest of the barn fresh hay,grain,and feed, harness leather,Turpentine balanced out the foul smells of the Cow and horse waste in the barn. I tried to actually determine where the odor stuff was inside the manure not knowing  at that time a lot of it was in the air. I didn't learn until later that in the process of odor small molecules and atoms of each of these things actually float in the air until we breath them in. Fortunately for us the quantity of these atoms are not enough usually to actually coat our breathing apparatus with a coating of this putrid substance.

I have ordered items on eBay in the early days that when I opened the package up the whole thing was reeking just as if someone had dropped a smoke bomb in my Trading Post. Every seller on here seems to push what is reasonable and ethical if they can get away with it and greed a few bucks if they can get away with it. I got other packages that smelled of pet odors to high heaven. Cats and dogs I could tell which one was running in the house by the odor.I got one package or two that were so bad I gagged, and one reminded me of the smell of a poor fisherman who had drowned in the Big Manistee Backwaters at Tippy Dam when I was a kid.

I had worked hard trying to revive him  because I was the only one of two or three guys there who knew mouth to mouth. But he was in the Big River too long. The odor of his death haunted me for two-three days no matter what I did. I would even wake at night thinking he was in my bedroom, don't laugh remember I was just a kid then. Finally a very wise person told me, get some salt water and rinse out your nose you have his death scent on your nose hairs. He was right a few sprays with salt water and the odor was gone. You always learn a lot if you just listen a bit to a person who has been walking the Earth longer than you. I learned so much from my Elders,God Bless them.

Some sellers started adding words in their listings from a pet free home,from a smoke free home,etc, because a few buyers were disappointed and started sending items back instead of throwing them out or passing them on. Some started putting the information in their feedback. Actually I know that some people cannot really smell their own dirt. The old saying is true.

I have bought and sold a few vehicles on eBay too and they reeked like their last owners. A cigar smoker and a dog lover.It was one of those deals where I drove so far with a rental car to pick up the vehicles that I already had a time and money investment and I didn't want to drive home without the purchase. I am sure the guy with the dog had no idea that he and his dog and the vehicle all smelled the same. We used to have a hunting camp far up in Dublin Michigan and the hunters put up a sign over the bunkhouse door of the Deercamp THE BUNKHOUSE OF WIERD AND UNUSUAL ODORS. LOLOL Believe me they were all in there.

The only thing I have found that will actually take the odor out of anything like clothing leather jackets, the inside of vehicles,homes,rooms, is a unusual device from  the multi-level marketing Company that was a fairly good company, the first Companies actually to develop Earth Friendly products in the U.S.A. The Shaklee Company. I don't sell their products and don't care for most of their cleaning products but their Basic H ,and I signed up

with them and several other multi-level schemes only to drop out when I couldn't play by thrir rules. I you type Shaklee in the Ebay search engine or Shaklee air Source 3000 one of thos wierd Ionizers will show up for about 350. or 370, dollars.another guy has evidently found out how to get them without jumping through the hoops. That devise will remove those odors out of anything. I think it will remove any odor out of fabric,vehicles,leather, etc all you need to do is place the items in a closed room and plug in the device. If you go to your local Shaklee dealer they will have two new models a small one for a 100 and some odd dollars probably 169. the small one works but not as good. Notice how the big timers always end their prices in 9's.???? Interesting world we live in. the Shaklee Air Source 3000 from a Shaklee Dealer will set you back 600 and and some odd dollars. Two things you need to know Shaklee or any multi - level firm will try to keep you from seling their products in the Free eBay market place if they can get away with it . I have to laugh after that Xango CEO threatened me for attempting Xango on eBay the flood gates opened as I told him they would and case after case started to be listed.If you don't believe me just type Xango in the search engine and see what happens. I warned you Mr Mormon More about all this later.

The main thing to remember is that these 3000 devices will take the odors out of just about everything you can shut them up in a room  or shut up in t a car,truck,RV,a house a room you name it and the air improves drastically. It took about three days to completely remove the pet odors and the cigar odors from the two vehicles I sold. I know the former owners still stink. LOLOL If you hang clothing in the room it takes out ,mildew, and smoke out of the clothing. How it does this is in all Shaklee literature and Shaklee is one of the companies that tests everything and shows exactly what their product does in a scientific method.

(PLEASE NOTE THE AIR DEVICES THAT SHOW OVER THERE IN IMAGES ON THE RIGHT ARE NOT THE AIR SOURCE 3000. I NEVER HEARD OF THEM.) I Don't Know if they work or not!!!

I think the Air Source 3000 somehow captures those little atoms of foul air and coats them with ions  positive or negative??and they drop to the floor. I think it sucks them out of clothing, fabric, and leather. Now I wish I would have signed up anyway and sold a few thousand of these things to our Chinese buyers. I would have but they wouldn't allow me to sell  there product on eBay. It appears all multi-level marketing companies have that policy.

Beware buying them used if the ionizarion bulb hasn't been replaced in awhile.You have to replace a unusual ionization bulb once a year to keep each device functioning and it is quite expensive. I haven't found any in the black market yet. LOLOL

I hope this helps you out in some way. If it does please place your check in the rating box. If it doesn't check that in tooI have a fairly thick skin. I will write more how to guides about things my Elders have told me if you benefit from it.

Thanks for readin my ramblin,
