He posted that because it has been such a high profile item that he is changing the bidding to pre-approved bidders only.

He was on the Today show this morning. I just caught the end of it and he mentioned he would like to get a writing job. I bet someone will offer that.

I think its great about that guy being on the Today show. He definitely has a good attitude. I hope he gets his tickets and beer!! On a side note, I'd like to say that a couple of weeks ago I received an email from someone wanting to sell me two databases full of information (names, email addresses, etc.) of people who have purchased items using the PayPal system on eBay. I work in IT for a company that is in the hospitality business. I didn't purchase the databases (they were offering both with "verified" information for about $328 total). Please be very careful when ordering things. Be sure you know and trust the company you are dealing with before entering any personal information. Just and FYI

Why in the world would anyone pay $15,000 for a wedding dress? If they did you would think they would want it brand new and designed just for them. I just don't get it.

He added another update after his media appearances this morning. He said he's going to have a website up soon. Now he's telling people to bid only if they are serious or really, really hot, lol.

I think that dress has crossed the line to collectors item now. This guy is making a splash. There are collecters scarfing media memorablia like crazy. The Surivior buffs are big because they will not be offered again. In 20 years on EXTRA or 60 mins we will see a spot on someones collection, a small museum or even the Smithsonian having a room of this stuff. They have Archie Bunkers chair. Computers and reality TV are certainly as big, if not bigger.

He wore the dress on the Today show this morning. It was a satellite interview. He is a good looking man. Very nice face and quick wit in the interview, the little I saw. I missed most of it.

His last update....... Woooooooohoooooo! What a wild ride! The emails are coming faster than the hits. And now personal appearances. First Star94 radio in Atlanta, then King5 in Seattle,now the Today Show with that I-used-to-be-a-fat-weatherman-but-now-I-am-as-skinny-as-Regis-but-twice-as-funny Al "I will turn this car around" Roker. It is amazing; all this media hype. Hey, Al! Any relation to Roxy? EBay has graciously allowed me to update this page once more. So I will keep it brief. This one guy emailed me and said, "Hey, bud. What part of Texas do you live?" Uh... Well, sir, I am from Seattle. Uh, Seattle, Texas. Right next to AreYouAFreakingMoron, Texas, which is a hop, skip and jump from IWasEducatedByGeorgeBush, Texas. Thanks for asking, neighbor. We have a website coming that everyone can check out. It will be up soon. Please only bid if you are serious. Or really, really hot.

The wedding guy on TV tonight said he didn't get a penny. Said the guy with the high bid said he left his computer on and didn't know who bid on the dress. But he also says it's a good thing, he'll be on the Today show again, and he was on Countdown on MSNBC tonight, and everyone wants him to wear the dress. RE the guy that won the dress: "The alleged buyer, on the other hand, is less sanguine; "absolutsth" posted on his eBay page that "In regards to the wedding dress, I have some sick friend or some practical joker coworker that decided to bid on this and splash my name over national TV. Please disregard this fact, I am a poor starving college student who cant even afford my own rent!" And oh, the spinoffs: the wedding dress guy doll Not so favorable news article: Denver Channel And, his own website: weddingdressguy.com PS - has it been 15 minutes yet?

I am wondering how to do this Ebay thing. I have a bunch of stuff from my Mom's collection, things that meant alot to her, but I have no place for. I have been trying to research the items, but I keep getting ebay sites. I would really like to know what they are and if they have a value before I just sell them off. Perhaps I am not searching correctly. Is there someplace where you can go look at pictures of collections, and figure this stuff out. I guess I may have to just set up a list of stuff and see what the market will bear, but I am not sure I want to sell it. any ides? I have to check with my siblings before I can sell anything, but have found that I really like some of the collection, there is just to much to keep.

Ddr, thanks, that is part of the problem. We tons of stuff. Three things that I have identified so far are a creamer/sugar set of Otagiri China (i guess). a similar set of Konge Tinn Pewter, and a bunch of Laurel Burch Royal Doulton, Franklin mint, Cat plates. I like the plates and plan to keep them, would just like some history on them (all I can find is people selling them). Thanks for any guideance you can give me. I haven't unpacked the rest of the stuff, but alot of it is Franklin Mint Curio Cats.

Dipo, there are appraisers that specialize in valuing estate property like your mom's. They can look at everything you have and give you a written report of its value (for a fee of course). They probably also would be able to identify potential buyers for you if you don't want to sell the items on ebay. Good luck!

Dipo, our public library has books on collectible's value. You may want to check there. Also if you know any dealers in your area, they may have reference books you can look through.

You have great advice, look in your phone book and say the post, you may be surprised at how lil it could cost (save) you!! Make sure you make a few phone calls, and ddr is right, that library is fantastic, cyber space just cant hold a candle to brick and mortar...

RE: The Wedding Dress Guy - if he REALLY wanted the money why didn't he offer it to the next highest bidder? I don't feel sorry for him - it was all a hoax anyways, IMO.

Does anyone have stats on when the best time to list something is? My mother swears that weekends are the best. Then I see some really high bids happen on Monday afternoons! Anyone?

I usually put things up on Tuesdays around 8PM PT. That's when I get the most hits. I'll be selling stuff next Tuesday to pay for the things I bid on this week!

Dee, my eBay name is DClutterMe. The big thing I am putting up is my Oster Kitchen Center. Beyond that, I think it is mostly holiday decorations.
