At Bonanza, they think that online shopping is stuck where online search was 10 years ago, in the age before Google. Many users today think that eBay and Craigslist are "good enough," and the "rules" for online shopping are set: items get posted through a series of selling pages, buyers browse static listings, buyers buy items and hope that sellers are trustable.

Bonanza thinks there's still a lot of room for improvement over the precedent that eBay and Craigslist set 10 years ago (and that the eBay/Craigslist lookalikes have copied ever since).

Here's how online shopping is at Bonanza:

-Relentlessly simple. Remember five years ago when it was easy to post and browse items on eBay? We have spent more than a year designing the easiest selling process, and re-invented the concept of a "store" to revive that refreshing feeling of ease eBay once gave you.

-Instant. Every seller on Bonanzle has the option of tying their Instant Messenger to their group of items, so buyers can get questions answered (or deals made) instantly. For local items, sellers can pre-schedule pickup times to take the guesswork out of which of those Xboxes you could pick up today.

-Engaging. On Bonanza, the journey to buy or sell your items is part of the destination. With built in user-to-user messaging and pervasive chat, you'll find that shopping isn't nearly as lonesome as you remember it being on Craigslist.

-Safe. It sucks to have no idea who you're dealing with. At Bonanzle, we're committed to building a community of friendly, everyday people. Bonanza is not (and will never be) a place for fraudulent items, adult content, or unseemly message forums.

-Free and Almost Free. There is no reason that you should have to pay a percentage of your item sales to The Man. At Bonanza, listing is free and fees are dirt cheap. They're also guaranteed not to raise an iota through 2010.

Katrina9799 Puppet designs

Early in the Winter of 2008, I started to really feel sorry for all the little puppets that I had up for sale that were missing their bodies. I felt that these poor little guys might never be sold to an appreciative buyer in the state that they were in. Using the sewing skills and other creative skills that I had gained in sewing classes and inherited through artistic 'genes', I set about creating new puppet bodies.

You can see my earlier work demonstrated on Puff the magic Dragon and on the Wood cutter and some of the Pinnochio's. The earliest katrina9799 puppet designs puppets lack tags. They are also noticeably a little bit cruder in quality and skill. This is accounted for in the price-much of the early work starts at just $12.99-a bargain, and affordable enough to buy them for your kids to play with!!

Recent work at Katrina9799 puppet designs yielded a $176 HR puf N stuf Clang puppet that was absolutely fantastic. It sold very quickly to a very satisfied buyer in Texas. I've sold numerous other expensive reproduction puppets since then.

You'll notice that most of the puppets sold at katrina9799s household variety look 'better' than other vintage puppets for sale elsewhere. Why? Well, katrina9799 puppet designs carefully washes and dries each puppet and make repaints and repairs to our puppets. Most Gund puppets receive new ribbons and new felt hands. Our puppets look better because they ARE better!! We even do custom work! We can restore your prized childhood puppet for you!
