M&M's and You!

I love M&M's! That's why I sell them. I have always liked the milk chocolate and the peanut M&M's. But when M&M/Mars started coming out with new flavors a whole new world appeared. One of  Peanut Butter and Almond and Cherry and Coconut. Speaking of coconut... They are a case in point of what drives me nuts with regards to the marketing folks at M&M's. They come out with a flavor like coconut, distribute it in large bags and just as people start to notice them on the shelves they yank 'em away and either discontinue their sale or distribute them in the 1.5 ounce personal size only. I don't get it. Wildly Cherry two years ago. People were nuts about them. M&M's said they were a limited edition and to be honest they did keep that flavor on the shelf foe six months or so. But after six months they disappeared never to be heard from again. I was amazed that when they came out with peanut butter it would depart the shelves after a few months. Thankfully it outsells milk chocolate and peanut combined in areas where they compete for shelf space. Perhaps after my and others countless suggestions to them to leave these flavors on the shelf they will finally acquiesce. But for now as soon as a new flavor shows up I will announce it here and have it readily available for your enjoyment.

Omar's Tent Expanding

As E-bay continues to grow it becomes less feasible for a small guy like me to list small objects. Mainly Trading pins. I have a slew of Disney trading pins I have collected over the years. Quite a few cast member pins and a number of hard to find Cloisonne pins. I recently found another site that is an ideal outlet for all of my pins. That place is E-crater. Apparently it has been around for  4 or 5 years but I found it only a week ago. It's perfect for my needs. I will be listing Trading pins and chocolate only at E-Crater . I will still be offering all of the other Disney items (Snowglobes, Mugs, Plush, etc..,) and all of the chocolate we have become famous for at Omar's Tent at E-bay. I have only just started at E-Crater and have yet to sell an item. But that has more to do with getting the site built up and bringing people in to see it. If you also have items you are looking to sell but the price is too small for E-bay then you might wnat to check E-Crater out. It's a bit more work but could be more than worth it at the end.
