For Sale - 1 Genii Infested Oil Lamp

A ridiculous amount of copy for such a cheap item, yet once I began telling my story I couldn't stop until I had told it all.

"He stoppeth 1 of three...."

Now to get it onto Craigslist and Kijiji....

For Sale - Haunted Antique Table

This downsizing is addictive. By the time I'm done I'll be ready to live in a shoebox in no time...well, at the rate it takes me to write copy, maybe a year...but still.

But copy sells the table (or so they say)...

Haunted Table for Sale:

For pretty much the same price you could have a pressboard table made in China with a fancy Swedish sounding name (like “frendli” or “Bjork-borg”), or a small 27’ HD TV, you could buy a fine antique table (seats 4-6).

Sold - Helicopter Pilot's Helmet

Proof that it all comes down to advertising. He didn't even dicker on the price, drove in from Cochrane to pick it up, he asked how & why I came to have it (long pause...."um....."), I asked what his plans for it were - he has a friend with a plane, it would be a good dirt biking helmet, vague uncertain plans, he just knows that he wants it, exactly how I came to possess it....

Now this leaves me a table to get rid of, but I think I have an angle or two on that, then there's the Pachinko machine and the hanging brass oil lamp.

It's addictive, this downsizing, and I'll see how far I can take it.

For Sale - Helicopter Pilot's Helmet - $125.00

For Sale: 1 Helicopter Pilot’s Helmet.

I've tried to sell it before, with limited (no) success. I put it down to a failure in copy writing and the fact that it was probably priced "Too Good To be True". So I've raised the price and re-listed it on Craigslist and Kijiji in the Sports Section. I'm pretty sure it will sell now....
