Well as we have all realized with ebay sales... business is down. For the first time in the 15 years I have been doing the Round Top show in Texas... the crowds were down and so were sales. In my humble opinion when sales are down in Texas, times are tough. I am fond of saying that Texans have A LOT of money and enjoy spending it in front of each other. Well this spring they were very cautious. I am nervous about Brimfield.
By the board here, it sounds like ebay has been sluggish at best... save their earnings reports! I don't care what number the stock market hits most of this nation is in a serious recession.
Despite all I did have a great time with my friends..that part NEVER changes
Yesterday was my 10 year anniversary on ebay! YIPPIE.... somedays...

The stock market is up because stocks are maintaining their value while the dollar is down. A major indication of this is that almost all commodities are up, except bonds, which are Dollar based. The government has lost control of spending, the fed is trying to inspire growth, and we have record trade deficits, The government is resolving the situation the only way it can, by pumping dollars into the economy.
