Cómo vender en eBay USA -- Tips

  Que tal   Bien por iniciar una venta, es divertido, practicas tu inglés y obtienes dólares.     Recomendación, basada en m expericencia vendiendo aqui (más de 11 años):   1.Investiga el tipo de empaque adecuado a tu producto a vender.   Es decir, el embalaje es prácticamente el 75% de una venta exitosa. El resto lo encuentras en el tiempo de envío y entrega  y la satisfacción del cliente. Un mal embalaje puede hacer que  pierdas la mercancía, reembolsar el pago y una calificación negativa.    2.Ve a oficina de Correos de México   Lleva un articulo con su empaque respectivo, sin cerrar. Pide las tarifas de ese empaque para envíos a USA/CAN - EUROPA-SUDAMERICA y ASIA-OCEANIA; según el peso es el costo del envío a cada respectiva zona, también pregunta cuanto aumenta la tarifa si el paquete pesa más (es decir, si agregaras 2 articulos o 3 en tu venta); eso incrementa el costo e igual, cambia por zona.   3.Ve a una Compañia de envios EMS (DHL, Estafeta, UPS, FedEx, etc)   Misma operación

Worst album or compilation idea?

:: I really liked thid cd when It came out ...I bought it -as import cd long box- this  Billy Idol 'Vital Idol ' for which I thought this, after a few months of playing it on my -then new- technics portable cd player: - It does not contains  'Mony Mony - Live'  that was a huge radio hit but a long bored studio extended version - It's a Remixes compilation more or less (8 tracks) - It was like a US response to UK's  'Idol Songs 11 of the Best'  but it fell short from that one - As far as I remember -I no longer own that cd- the volume was very high compared with other cds I owned at the time - I became tired of the long tracks and then I sold it along the first bunch of cds I didn't want to keep when I moved to my married new home, though I noticed that somehow I kept the long box.

Best LP records find?

:: Back in 2013 I visited a building site, downtown, where an architect asked me to meet him, but since he was late, I took a walk around the block and fond a garage sale store: among old sofas, paintings, tables and chairs there were 2 plastic boxes, with 40-60 Lps, as I started to dig it, I found close to 15-20 LPs from the beloved mid 80's era named 'Rock En Tu Idioma' as this was a 1987-1988 LPs series of bands from Argentina, Spain, Chile, Mexico, etc. all of them look as if they were taken care of with love...the owner, a nice elder man wanted 7-10 USD back then for each one...It took me 3 visits to pick the best of them. Many of those are for sale on eBay or Discogs close to 50-60 USD, and I did sell some of them to buy more stuff there... Every once in a while I visit the store, but luck has vanished and the owner no longer has LPs for sale: "maybe later, thanks for coming!" he says with a smile.

About Rush and Feedback Album

Don't understand the 'Feedback' bash, since I got it, I did dig deeper into the Yardbirds catalogue and then I linked the era to the Spencer Davies G, Traffic, etc. 

Sound + Vision Box by David Bowie

::: I held in my hands, back in the day, a new and sealed S+V Box...and as far as I recall, it was expensive as hell (an import CD box set in late 80s? in Mexico? figure yourself) but just like that, without being open it was a total beauty...!

U2 unreleased wants

U2 - PoP   Box Set Check this amazing video uploaded by U2 Argentina: It proves that the album was evolving from basic rock tracks to a mixed monster of colorful samples and remixes...plenty of material could be reworked by Flood and Howie B or remixed either by Lillywhite, Eno, Lanois (á la 'Naked) ...those arrangements they did for the PopMart Tour could be added as studio versions, a handful of remixes only available on vinyl releases, a single box where we could find the Remixes versions of the singles they released that era, the collaborations with Sinéad O'Connor, Willie Nelson, a BD or DVD with the promo tour performances in K-Mart, MTv US and MTVEurope, interviews and footage made over the recording sessions, etc. U2 PoP 20th anniversary  was dissmised by the gargantuan 30 years of  Joshua Tree Tour

The Rolling Stones - Corazón de Piedra

:::  Escuchando, con sorpresa, desde ya varios meses atrás, a los Rolling Stones, pero los que no tenían el logotipo de Andy Warhol... grandes canciones que siempre han estado ahí pero que, una vez, las dejé de lado. No volverá a pasar.
