MoreAs you read this I am probably cracking up (laughing) with my mom, Mo and my kids as we set up at La Quinta Resort for Live Boot Camp. Or maybe we are all sweating to the oldies because it is 105 degrees. Only going to be 99 degrees on Friday. Yeah!
After spending a wonderful two weeks in Bellingham, WA, it is back to Palm Desert for Live Boot Camp. I found so many wonderful things in Bellingham.
An amazing dinnerware score.
This dinnerware set will be a main focus of Live Boot Camp and I expect it to sell for close to $1,200 when listed on eBay. You won’t want to miss seeing the DVD footage of my new session on dinnerware that we have added to Live Boot Camp. To learn more about how you can receive this incredible NEW footage, please read the Special Announcement section.
While in Bellingham, I bought a huge amount of merchandise that will be featured at Live Boot Camp tomorrow. So many fun finds! I shipped seventeen boxes back to Palm Desert at a cost of about $320. Another new feature of Live Boot Camp is going to be a focus on shipping. We will talk about what to charge and how to pack large sets of dinnerware. I think that most sellers get really frozen (like a deer in the headlight) when they have to price for shipping/handling/insurance. This new session is going to break through those barriers and I am working super hard to make it easy and entertaining.
Check out Houston with some of the boxes as they arrived at our house.
My brother flew up to Bellingham to celebrate our mom’s birthday and it was a blast. It went by too fast but I was even able to drag my brother out to a garage sale! As you past Live Boot Camp grads know, my brother NEVER joins us on Saturday morning for garage sales so it was quite the coup to get him to join us at ONE sale. It was at this sale that I bought a huge stuffed dragon/dinosaur that I will be listing at Live Boot Camp. I think it may become this year’s mascot.
I was not going to write an ezine this week because of Live Boot Camp, but too many amazing things happened that I felt I needed to share with you all.
First, the Mel and Steve Woods clothing teleseminar was fantastic! I have NEVER gotten so many rave reviews and emails after a live phone event like I have for this one. I even ran out and spent $540 on clothes at Macy’s. It was a blast. Please read the Lynn Recommends section to learn more. You’ll be glad to know this valuable call is now available for immediate download and purchase. Buy the teleseminar now.
Before I left for our two weeks in Bellingham, I took photos of a bin full of linens. I had bought the bin for $100 about three years ago. It sat in my garage for three years staring me in the face. $100 was too much to let go to waste. Finally, my mom wrote it all up for me about six months ago and I took photos before the Bellingham 2010 trip.
Here is that bin.
I was sitting in my mom’s beach house on 8/17 (Tuesday) and I said to my Mom, “I am going to list all of these linens today.” I will not leave this desk until it is done. Well, I didn’t get them all listed that day but I did list a lot. The results have been incredible. Please read my feature article, “Linens….Who Knew?” to learn more!
Also, I want to update you on the Portmeirion canisters from the last ezine. I sold three of them at auction for over $75.00. Yeah!!! That paid for my investment, the other six arrived safe and sound in Palm Desert and are now listed for over $200 in my eBay store. They will eventually sell.

The Monday after Live Boot Camp is over is my kid’s first day of school. I will take them and then on Tuesday morning I fly to San Jose with Mo. I can’t wait for the last eBay on Location!
This year’s final eBay on Location is in San Jose on September 2nd and 3rd–eBay’s fifteenth birthday. It is going to be a blast. Maureen (Mo) is going to attend this one with me. We are also going to speak at the Bay Area eBay sellers group on Tuesday night, August 31st. Learn more about eBay on Location.
