High Prices Hit Home

by James & Miel on May 6, 2008 · 0 comments

Hi All,

I just saw a great article on the AP wire. Evidently more Americans are selling their stuff on-line. Why? – The article says the main reason is that high gas and food prices are obliging more people to drum up extra money to make ends meet. The websites they are using are craigslist.com, ebay.com, Livedeal.com and auctionpal.com.

For what its worth, I’m feeling the pinch a bit also. The price of a pound of ground beef at Safeway today was $6.60. Last year it was about half of that. Yipes! Some of my DVDs may be going on the auction block soon as well!

Best,

James
