eBay VS Kijiji?

And the grim flogging off of excessive materialism, generally at a loss. So far it's just been Kijiji, I console myself with the fact that what doesn't sell there can be moved on eBay. I'm not really too concerned with market price, more with getting it out so I can get more in. And getting it out so I can buy some food and eat, I'm not due back in Hell for another 10 days, and things are getting pretty lean.
It amazes me what sells. Not so much what sells, I mean, I bought it so why wouldn't anyone else? But what sells vs what doesn't, the cameras, all of them, interest shown for every one, not one has sold. But both the radios - the first, a Crosley, cool, retro, but not working, then a week later the same buyer called to make an offer on the Motorola. The only interest, both sold on the first inquiry.
Vintage Motorola Clock Radio, sold for $10.

Having worked on and off in hospitality for over 30 years, I've always known this. Not that I'd say it, of course, one never argues with the customer, and often it's as much about "the effect" as it is about the wine - the impression on guests, dates, etc.
But this video sums it up quite well:

Annoyed by the fact that while when I google myself I find my blog at #1 (which is probably a regional setting on Google, as there's no way I'm number 1), yet for some reason an image search under my name gives me a bunch of dry old businessmen and race car drivers.
Not that any of my pictures bear even a passing resemblance to me, I'm far too handsome and good looking to be captured on film or in bits and bytes, but I'd like to see myself rise a little higher in the image ranking.
So here are a few images of me, at various points in the blogs evolution, all tagged "Rod Boyle, Handsomest Man On Earth". Because if you googled "Handsomest Man on Earth" it wouldn't be a bad thing in my view if you were presented with images of me. It's all about advertising.
I'll add more pictures later. Feel free to abscond with these images and make them into posters to hang above your bed.
