It's been several weeks since my last update, and I've been very busy with my paying job. But I wanted to share my favorite Resale Retail way to help others shop for you for holidays, birthdays, weddings, or any other gift-giving occasion while saving resources including out-of-pocket cash.
- Create a new e-mail account for yourself at the e-mail provider of your choice (Yahoo, Google, etc.) for example "gifts4me@gmail.com." Make sure you set a non-embarrassing, easy to remember password.
- Go to eBay and register as a new user with that account (gifts4me@gmail.com in our example).
- Put everything you want from eBay on the My eBay watch list under that account.
- Give all your friends and loved ones the e-mail and password you defined in step 1 and let them log in to check out the watch list and bit on what they want to give you!
The only snag is that you can't check that e-mail account or watch list until after the event is over unless you want major spoilers to your surprise. I used this approach for Christmas last year and got a number of things from my watch list under an e-mail I created especially for that purpose. Happy green, inexpensive, eco-friendly shopping!
