Baby Blog

The FlogBlogger doesn’t have kiddy-winkies just yet, but that doesn’t stop him from loving some of the wicked things that kids these days have designed for them: 

Firstly, a Greco swinging chair thingy…I can’t be the only one that could quite easily chill in front of the telly with a beer on one of these. 

Now, if I was four again I think this would freak me out more than anything else. However, it may have stopped me from drawing on the skirting boards in the house. My first "hobby".  

Finally, on the subject of tots, I owe this video a lot for sparing my blushes today: Two of us struggling to make it even resemble a pram…until we found the magic little button thing. Unfortunately, Nick was off or we’d have had it up and down in a flash. Maybe I should be filming him opening and closing prams and put them on Youtube: share his skills with the world. 

Really finally…I went to few birthday parties when I was a kid, but never did I see a clown as good as this in action. Although his eyes are a wee bit freaky.

 

 

Have a lovely weekend.

Banksy For Sale

Regular followers will know that the FlogBlogger is a massive Banksy fan and has written about him a couple of times over the years. So, it has been a week of mixed emotions....

Firstly: The classic “Sweeping Maid” which stood resplendent in all of its peeling glory near Chalk Farm Tube Station was painted over with a nauseatingly bright piece of artwork. No offence to the artist, but the dull faded glory of the cheeky Banksy always made me smile as I strolled by, now I take a different route so I don’t have to.

…And then, on the very same day : A customer asked us to sell this limited edition Banksy screen print for her, complete with the original certificate and all of the trimmings. One of my favourite Flogit4u auctions so far, which is saying something considering some of the super cool things we get in on a weekly basis. A mixed week, maybe, but it’s still pretty cool to have held a piece of modern art history…just for a wee minute.

Rapper eBay Fan

Anyone who’s down with the kids will know who “Drake” is and will also be able to tell you that he’s some sort of hip hop/grime/rap artist…but it also turns out that he’s a bit of an eBay “beast”.

Drake told MTV News US: "When I was 17, I was heavy on eBay I was a beast. I was like an eBay guru, man. I used to call him up [his friend Niko] and be like, 'Yo, what are you doing?,' And I'd be like, 'Shopping on eBay, bro.' "

Not sure if he ever used Flogit4u, but if he’s browsing the site tonight he may be interested in this stunning timepiece….or "Ice" as P Diddy would say. Probably. 

He might also like these shades, although they are probably more Lady gaga than Dizeee Rascal. 

Do rappers still wear impressive gold chains??? If so, Drake might want to put his “eBay guru” skills to the test and make us an offer on this solid gold chain (with diamonds for extra razzle dazzle. Shizzle?).

Beat The Recession Blues

Flogit4u in the press

Flogit4u has been championed by the National Press once again – this time for being the preferred option for people looking to buy quality designer items for prices that are lower than on the High Street. 

A Sunday Times article on beating the credit crunch by going online outlined the best places to save money on the internet. Flogit4u was named as the best site for snapping up designer bargains and for helping our customers achieve the best price for their goods.

eBay Highlighter Launched

eBay’s continuing battle against online stores like Amazon and Kelkoo gained momentum this week with a new tool designed to pull shoppers towards the online auction giant. eBay executives are increasingly looking at ways to draw customers away from other online shopping sites – the most recent example being their push on “Buy it Now” and “fixed Price” sales. Already questions have been raised as to whether making eBay similar to these other stores will ultimately see the auction house loosing its identity and becoming yet another store bustling for prominence in an overcrowded market. 

Thankfully eBay’s latest weapon in the battle does exactly what it has continued to do since its inception; develop a quirky and original tool that will keep shoppers aware of the savings that can be made by using the online auction house and giving instant comparisons with other stores. The “Browser Highlighter” released this week is a downloaded tool that creates an icon on the tool bar on Explorer or Firefox. When the icon is selected the browser window becomes an interactive price compare tool, simply click on the “Compare on eBay” link that sits alongside the search results to be directed to the correct auction page. More impressive is the options for pages that don’t have the icon such as Amazon or Kelkoo. Highlight the products name and the same “Compare on eBay” logo pops up offering links to auctions where that item is being sold. 

This will be an excellent time saving device for regular eBay shoppers, but – perhaps most crucially – will serve as an instant access to eBay for non-users. The browser directs towards fixed price items and auctions giving users even more options to buy and sellers an even larger market for their goods.

Flogit4u Sells F1 Car

Jordan Honda For Sale

With David Coulthard retiring from Formula 1 at the end of this season, the UK needs another chisel jawed daredevil to challenge other countries and manufacturers for tenth place in every Grand Prix. How hard can it be? Round and round a track, champagne celebration and then playboy lifestyle for 10 months of the year (but “only” for five days a week for the other two months, when you’re “working”). 

The main stumbling block to all of us budding race drivers is the vehicle – the skills, fearless attitude and willingness to be paid obscene amounts of money are all there, but the car is way out of reach….or is it?

 Flogit4u are selling a Formular 1 car, yes, a bona fide car that was once thrown around a track at breakneck speeds by Jarno Trulli when he raced with Jordan Honda. All you have to do is click HERE and following the bidding instructions and in less than a week you will be one step closer to a boyhood dream. 

The British press has already picked up on this amazing auction – click here to see the latest article on the UK’s most popular online auction site! 

Maybe you have no interest in becoming a worldwide superstar, but would just like the car to drive around in. Perhaps you’re bored of paying for parking spaces in the city centre and would rather drive under the barrier. Maybe you’d like to out-accelerate a boy racer at the lights and cruise off down the street in smug satisfaction.Personally, I’d like screech to a halt on the Kwik-Fit forecourt and see how long it takes them to change the tyres. 

 

Happy Bidding!!!!
