Slide Show from Others Photos

Wow. It is amazing what can be done online. I found a page that has someone's collection of photos of old farm tractors, which can be pasted in here as a slide show. It did work, but I took it out. It didn't work in Safari, only in Firefox (I'm a Mac guy, if I haven't said that before.) I'm not sure about the concept. Is it "fair" for me to use a bunch of pictures from someone unknown? Shouldn't he get something for it? Or is name recognition enough? Have to think about that.

Meanwhile, eBay listings go a lot slower than hoped for. December was the best month yet, per the December sales report. Not enough to live on, but showing the right kind of progress. Christmas sales maybe? I know some of them were for Christmas, but January has continued along at a pretty close pace, so I'm not sure. Some of the emails from customers are really rewarding. If only that could pay the electric bill.

I just went through some more recent magazines my wife was throwing out. Some of the ads use the new technologies in neat ways. I'm going to see how well those sell. Perhaps age isn't everything. Many of my customers have said that the ad they bought was because they had owned the subject of the ad. Maybe more people (around today, that is) owned a 1998 watch than a 1943? Report to follow.

Have a great day.
