There is a workshop this Friday, October 8th, from 11:00 PDT to 12:00 PDT for sellers to learn how to participate

although personally, I think eBay should have held this particular workshop in September.

Nevertheless, there is some interesting merchandise for sale already:

1. A pink (yep, pink!) Vespa scooter with a “gorgeous Coach suede and leather patchwork floral seat and chic matching helmet”. Signed by Britney Spears, Ashton Kucher, Sting, Drew Barrymore, Adam Sandler, Missy Elliott, Charlize Theron, Simon Cowell, Meg Ryan, Melissa Etheridge, Naomi Watts and Ellen DeGeneres, the winner of this will definitely not see another one like it on the road!

2. One lucky woman will win an all expense paid trip to the 2005 Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, CA. The Luna Women’s Mountain Bike Team, a.k.a. The Luna Chix, is the only Internationally competitive, professional mountain bike team comprised exclusively of women. In 2004 the Luna Chix won four U.S. National titles, including the coveted “Team” classification for the most consistent team on the circuit, male, female or otherwise, as well as 41 individual races in national and international competition.

The winner of this auction will receive:

* An official Santa Cruz / Luna team bike, fitted and built specifically for the winner
* A year’s supply of Clif Bar products
* Housing and meals with the Luna Chix
* Team gear, including a Luna Team uniform and travel bags
* Personal and mechanical support (I'd need this one desperately! "How many more miles do we have to ride?” Pant, pant ...)
* Race support, daily massage, tactical advice, and other benefits
* A choice of participation in competitive or non-competitive Sea Otter events and VIP access to all Sea Otter events and functions.

3. Gucci sunglasses that remind me of Neo, in my all-time favorite movie, The Matrix.

4. A “Vanity Fair” poster signed by Reese Witherspoon (l-o-v-e-d her in Legally Blonde, Legally Blonde2 and Sweet Home Alabama)

5. American Patchwork & Quilting magazine asked women to contribute “quilt blocks” and received over 24,000! They have made several quilts which will be auctioned off through December of this year. The current featured quilt is a beauty:

Good going, folks! Happily, more women will live because of your efforts. I'd like to write more, but I'm off to bid on the scooter. Watch out Hell's Angels, here I come!
