My first purchase from a Blog sale.
Well just like the title says, I bought my first items from a blog sale. It was easy, pain free and like gambling in a way or even being at a silent auction. I saw the items ahead of time, new the set prices and then was told what day and at what time this sell would start. It was a first come first serve type of thing. You placed your order hoping that nobody else had asked for that item before you and then the game begins.
You sit there by your computer waiting to see if you are the one that receives the email for the invoice from pay pal. Are you sad, or are you happy?? Did you get there first or did someone else beat you.
This is how I did it. I saw the items and made a list of the ones I wanted. When it came time I left my order in the comment section of the blog, hoping I was the first to ask for those items. As the minutes went by I saw I wasn't the first one on some of the items but I was on some of the other items, which made me excited. Now this is where the waiting begins. The person having the blog sell now starts with the very first person with the first comment and sends them a invoice for the items they ask for and so on down the line.
I received a invoice for 4 of the 9 items I asked for. Not bad I would say for a first timer. Then hours go by to see if the other items you asked for are still available or were they purchase by someone else. There were over 70 comments of people asking for the same things. I went through every comment and made a list of what was asked for and what was not asked for. There were 3 items that nobody ask for, so I placed my second order and to my delight I was able to purchase those items.
I will say this, I found that I very much enjoyed the blog sell. It was fun, exciting, thrilling, disappointing and aggravating all in one. Would I purchase again from a blog sale.. You bet I would and I even look forward now to having my own blog sale.
