Here's Looking at you, Finova Real Estate Group

It’s happened more then once, and it’s sure to happen again. I find a great article of clothing, in this case a Ralph Lauren XL Navy Sweatshirt. 

 It’s in nice condition, soft and plush with a red Ralph Lauren logo on the front (important when selling Ralph Lauren items, if it has an outer logo, it will sell for more). I buy this sweatshirt for $1.00 and by the end of the week, I've listed it on eBay for $9.99.

A bidding war starts and when the listing ends, the sweatshirt has sold for $25.00. It’s my top sell of the week. I recently figured out how to print my postage at home, so I print off a shipping label and find the sweatshirt to package. I fold it once, fold it over again and that’s when everything stops. I can’t believe it.

Look what I have staring back at me!

On the slim chance the customer who bought this shirt is a member of the Finova Real Estate Groups, he is going to be thrilled, otherwise, I have a problem.

I can’t sell a sweatshirt for $25.00 that’s been embroidered on. It’d be like selling a dress shirt with the monogram D.T. to a guy with the initials J. R. I’ve picked up Tommy Bahama shirts not knowing until I’m home they’re advertising a golf course or golf tournament on the sleeve.

So, sorry customer of the Ralph Lauren XL Navy Sweatshirt. After I emailed you the dilemma, I gave you the option to purchase it for $1.00, but you didn’t want it even at that. After all the work to win it, I had to refund your money.

It’s a nice 65 degrees. I have a cup of peppermint tea next to the computer I’m sipping on. I’ve requested a refund of my pre-paid postage. I’m wearing fuzzy slippers and a very cozy Ralph Lauren XL Navy Sweatshirt with a Finova Real Estate Group logo.

And if anyone out there is a member of the Finova Real Estate Group, I wish you great success and there’s something I want to sell you.
And, on a different note, Kelly and I are busy on our latest project.  To be announced later today.  We are so excited!
