This morning when I peaked back to look at my eBay operation I found that yesterday was my lowest sales day in all of 2024. I was instantly reminded of a comment my wife made. We attended the Round 1 games of the NCAA mens tournament yesterday in Charlotte. She looked around the Spectrum Center (announced attendance 18k+) and remarked, "we are such a wealthy country that so many people can take the day off from work to watch basketball".

So this morning it occurred to me that not only was there a good bit of truth in her observation but it also meant that non bracket activities such as shopping for collectibles on eBay were also impacted. It's a bit like going out somewhere on during the Super Bowl I guess but this March Madness drags on for three weekends. So just to make the confession my bracket is already trashed although I think I am ahead of my wife who spent at least an hour researching her picks on Google while mine were shot from the hip.

I have 379 live auctions on eBay this week which is way over what I normally do. I schedule my listings ahead of time and usually do a very good job of keeping everything pretty level. But I double booked some this time which is even more reason for you to take a look.
