I sell a lot of stuff on eBay, mostly with the auction format, but also many fixed-price store items.
I've decided that I'm going to begin offering a "Best Offer" option on my store listings to see if that can't generate some extra sales.
For example, a watch like the Oliver 44 Tractor Watch pictured here will have a store price of $19.00 and also a Best Offer option which will automatically accept offers above a number set by me. (just between you and me that number is $12. shhh.)
Personally I think the watch is worth the full $19, but if I can pick up an extra sale or two and still make money, well, in these tight times I've got to give that a go.

Adding Best Offer to eBay Store Items

John S Mosby - Confederate Guerrilla
I suppose its because I live out west, and my interest in the Civil War has always centered on the Western Campaign, that when I think of Civil War raiders and guerrilla fighters I tend to think of William Quantrill and Frank and Jesse James and all the bushwackers of Missouri and Kansas.
I really wasn't up on John S. Mosby until I got a request from a future customer to make up a clock featuring the man. Col. Mosby, known as "The Gray Ghost," commanded Mosby's Rangers of Virginia, who were more than a major thorn is the side of Union forces of the area.
This is my John S. Mosby Watch, available at my eBay store, All-4-Corners. I also have a John S Mosby Clock available with the same face design.
And remember, if there is a historic figure that you would like to see immortalized on a watch or clock feel free to drop me a line. I'm always taking suggestions.

Edsel Push-Button Technology
Today's project, transmogorify the Edsel Teletouch transmission into a watchface design. The Teletouch transmission was Edsel's push-button transmission that was mounted right in the middle of the steering column, where the horn should oughta be.
Here's what I came up with. I'm thinking that it looks pretty sharp, though I'm not sure that I got all the colors correct.
Feedback from Edsel owners and fans and those in the know always welcome. The Edsel Teletouch Watch available only at my eBay store, All-4-Corners.
