OSI Rock Star Clues for eBay Live No. 9
Jeremy Undercover
Number 9, Number 9, Number 9? You say you want a revolution? Now a normal person would have systematically put all these clues on their blog as they appeared, not all at once. So, I should tell you that the clues were not all posted in one day but over time. If I have a chance, I'll go back and put the dates in.
My eBay students are going to freak - I promised them I'd send them all out info. on the best tools to use and answer their questions. Not to mention I have two web sites to finish. But, all the clues must be together or this puzzle will never be solved. This particular puzzle won't be solved unless we can bring Timothy Leary back, but just in theory.

OSI Rock Star Siting - Photo Clue No. 8
This had a tag saying "She Can Run But She Can't Hide"
Hey, go ask Cindy. And yes, I'm calling them clues even if they are just sitings. Didn't any of you ever watch the movie "Blow Up"?
Clover City Sells

OSI Rock Star eBay Live! Clue No. 7
Jeremy's Back - or rather he better watch his back.
Here we see our heart-throb showing off Janelle's kitchen. Sure, there might be clues but did you see that black refridgerator? I wonder what's in it?
Comments only if you have a 4.8 or higher DSR rating.

OSI Rock Star Video Clue No. 6
Well here we have The Praie Dog Home Companion. This is what I was telling you about before - Jeremy is bewitched by this whole film noir thing. Maybe he found his niche - in the ground! I've heard of animal husbandry, but this is....
Drama Prairie Dog? Comments please, no holes barred.

OSI Rock Star Video Clue No. 5
Ok, this one is popular. It reminds me of "A Clockwork Orange" but don't ask me why.
This one gives you a bang for your buck. I think Cindy & Dany saw too many "Million Dollar Movies" or for you youngsters, they live on NetFlicks.

OSI Rock Star eBay Live! Mystery Clue No. 4
Well, for those of you who don't know Jeremy is that sweet guy who sometimes answers Janelle's emails. We didn't know how cute he is. He's a good actor too. He's the new OSI heart-throb, but someone keeps turning him into various animal incarnations because he tries to help us uncover the secret. Some were worried he was being kept locked up and bound.
OSI Rock Star Siting - Not a Video, but.....
Ok, I have to include this... It was a siting of OSI Rock Star Janelle Elms.

OSI Rock Star Utube Video Clue No 3
You'd think they missed out on the 60's, if you know what I mean...
For historic purposes, just before this video there was that secret one never to be seen again. I'll writing a book about it - it's not unlike the stolen third panel of the Van Eyke painting "The Just Judges" from Camus' "The Fall". I shouldn't really mention it because I'll get it trouble, but sometimes footnotes in history have the most color. This should be clue No. 4 - but remember what happened to Socrates.
Meanwhile, what's with this clue? Comment at your own risk.

The OSI Rock Star Rumor Mill
Ok, so go ahead, call me Rhona Barret. Well, maybe don't. In case you don't know, Rhona Barret was a reporter who gossiped about all the Hollywood stars long before "X-tra X-tra" came on the scene.
It seems, however that someone's got to keep tabs on what has become an out of control mystery going on at OSI headquarters.
A group of eBay Sellers, Educators, PowerSellers belong to a group called OSI Rock Stars, a site set up for people who get locked out of their homes by relatives for eating, breathing, sleeping and dreaming everything eBay.
Many of the people who are in this group are going to eBay Live! in Chicago this June. "Rock Stars" who helped creator Janelle Elms launch the OSI site, moderate the forums and contriubte to webinars and podcasts requested a place to meet at Live!
Well, call it the return of "Divine Right's Trip", but we have been getting "clues" in the form of Utube videos on what we can expect from OSI Rock Stars in Chicago.
So far, we haven't done such a great job of figuring out what Janelle and her trusty videographer Dany are up to. It's our mission to find out.
In the interest of archiving this historic event, I'm going to have a post for each video and let history decide how all of us Rock Stars couldn't figure out we were really staying at Mick Jagger's Chicago home and being treated to a private concert by Sir Paul. Hey, I'm just saying.... judge for yourself.....
So, I'll be posting all the video clues in order. As with any good mystery clue video web 2.0 treasure hunt, there is also the "lost" video - one that surfaced never to be seen again. While it may show up in the Louvre many years from now, I only mention it so that "The Secret" has a legacy.

eBayers to take Chicago by Storm
Well, it is called the Windy City after all!
Starting June 19th for most eBayers, and several days earlier for eBay Developers and Education Specialists trained by eBay, Chicago will be infused with thousands of eBayers at their annual eBay Live! conference, to be held in the convention center.
While it's probably too late to schedule now - what I'd like to see is an entire audience of comprised solely of eBay Sellers on "The Oprah Winfrey Show".
Can you imagine? Well, first we'd be seeing all sorts of photographs of Oprah behind a big eBay sign starting to appear on eBay. Some will be personally autographed by Oprah herself! Of course, we won't have any idea how this got done, but someone, somehow would be selling them - and they will be certified.
Then, we'll start to see "item's Oprah touched" up for sale, along with the ticket to show. The tickets of course will be on eBay as well, sold alone or in combination with anything else even remotely involved with the show. Some past items from other shows will be sold with the tickets as well - so be sure to read the descriptions over carefully.
Of course, anything else that might be given away on the show would be up for sale on eBay before the show even ended! You heard me, no time to waste here! Any good eBay Seller is going to have their digital camera and laptop with them! As soon as an item is handed to them (we've all seen the troops come out handing packages to the audience) - a quick photo and description later, and in minutes you'll see it being sold. Of course the savvy seller's will have listed the item as soon as it's announced... they'll just find a stock photo and they're good to go.
Now I imagine there are people who will be able to get items from the set of the eBay Audience Show and sell those items - now we may be getting into big-ticket!!! I mean, that's a no-brainer. Of course, one enterprising eBay seller, (probably a Platinum Power Seller) will somehow manage to procure and auction off the entire set Oprah team managed to re-created of "The Mary Tyler Moore" special reunion show. Many might have tired, but I'm sure some eBayer will get the scoop on that and.... sell it on eBay.
Of course, the tape of the eBay-Oprah show will also be sold on eBay. Now of course, there are no digital downloads, but the show can still be sold as a CD.
Gosh, I should have tried to organize this as soon as I heard about eBay Live.. being in Chicago at eBay Live! in Boston. Maybe I should get in touch with Micky Mouse now about Orlando in 2010.
Ok, so some people going to the Convention in Chicago may want to see a the Cubs... That's another post.
P.S. Disclaimer: No show of just eBay Sellers on the show or in the audience is scheduled to be on The Oprah Show during eBay Live! in Chicago or for any other time that I know of. A girl can dream.... Of course, if a producer from the Oprah show is reading this, feel free to contact me at
But in the meantime...
I invite all of my fellow eBayer Sellers, and even non-eBayers to comment on what they would sell if they got to be in the All-eBay Sellers audience of the Oprah Show.

eBay - Dead or at Live!
Boy, there have been so many changes at eBay lately, talking heads turned into spinning heads, Five Stars became the constellation prize and DRS had many eBay Sellers writing DNS.
All in all it seems like some of the dust has settled, and the eBay Live! Heads are looking forward to all meeting in Chicago.
The day before the official eBay Live! opens, a group of people called eBay Education Specialists meet and have a day of learning and networking.
Even though I always wanted to go to eBay Live! since it started, when I went last year it was more fun than I ever imagined. Well, firstly to be fair, my expectations were about what you might find at a Dentist's Convention - but with more high-spirited people.
It was fun to find out what everyone sells, hear about how got started and how their business grew.
There are classes on almost any topic you can think of - from sourcing items to hearing from top PowerSeller's about tools, techniques and tips they have for you. If you are going to Live!, you should not miss classes given by Janelle Elms! Aside from having written many books, Janelle also started a Web site called The Online Success Institute for continued success on eBay all year round. You learn so many great things from that site - even how to create a blog like this one!

eBay Live! wasn't like that - it was really informative and fun. The classes, seminars, outbreak groups were terriffic. Meeting the people there was the best part. All the Education Specialist's I met were super. Education Specialist's teach others about eBay in classes throughout the country. A lot of us live in different states, but communicate with each other all the time. We have our own forum on eBay and spend a lot of time trying to be the best teachers we can be. The best part of eBay Live! last year was the ES day of training. If you are in the Chicago area - eBay Live! is the place to be!

I use my eBay store, WebWendy's to keep up with my teaching, but I'm hoping to expand it and find a great niche. That's niche, not Nietzsche, although you sometimes do need super-human powers to sell on eBay.
It's often difficult to start new friendships or find kindred spirits after you reach a certain age.... but at Live! after three days you felt like you knew people for years.

Last Blog Standing
Gee, it's been a while since I posted on this blog. November. I guess in Blog years, that would be an eternity. Of course, we all know time is relative. I've always been trying to make it a distant cousin.
