I think it goes something like “wah-wah-waaah.” (If  you’ve ever watched a game show, I know you know the sound I mean.)

I missed out on this kicky, kitschy ’50s cocktail themed blouse on eBay last week.  I’m not sure if the “wah-wah-wah” is for myself or for the dealer who offered it on eBay.

You see, the seller never answered my question.  I asked the question when there was a full day and half left on the auction. Is that cutting it too close? I don’t think so.

I’m writing this not so much to chastise the dealer, but as a gentle reminder for even the casual eBayer that part of the work you must do to sell your crap on eBay involves dealing with twits like me who ask questions before they bid.  If you don’t answer those questions, the buyer might not bid.   And then you’re going to waste some money relisting the item. Not to mention that you’ll be held under scrutiny by someone like me who might have dropped some money on your item, but now I wonder, “If you don’t answer questions, what other problems might I have when dealing with you?”

This blouse is too good not to be relisted, but I probably won’t bid out of spite.  Oh, and it’s not really my size.

But don’t you love it, crappy photos and all?

GAAAAH! That’s how you spell that crazy broad who goes nuts for a blouse sound effect. (If you love vintage, I know you know the sound I mean.)
