You would probably get better prices if you listed them in the collectables category under advertising. Having them listed in truck parts and accessories will not get them good visibility to the right people...just my 2 cents.

...from Wikipedia:

"A ghetto is a section of a city occupied by a group who live there especially because of social, economic, or legal pressure. The term ghetto was originally used in Venice to describe the area where Jews were compelled to live. A ghetto is now described as an overcrowded urban area often associated with a specific ethnic or racial population."

The schools are really close here, since we are in overcrowded urban area. Upper class, middle class, and lower class people are literally divided by a single street. There are pockets of class levels within the other class levels. You can be in the ULTRA rich neighborhoods and inside that in a 2 block radius, you have the ghetto. Each class usually wont even cross that street in to the other class levels area. It is amazing. I grew up in the East Coast and we had nothing like this.

Way too expensive in northern California. It is over $15,000 a year. You gotta have some serious dough. I am just a regular guy with a regular job. I will however take my retirement and move back east so my money will go further. The cost of living is really high here in California.

A typical 3 bedroom house has 1 bathroom, a single car garage, 1,400 square feet on a zero lot line property costs about $630,000. Don't forget the mortgage companies want you to put down 20%. Anyone got $126,000 in the bank to put as a down payment on a house, which will take 30 years to pay off at $3,000 a month.

Opps used my car parts listing template instead of my gas one. Anyone know the category number for:

Collectibles > Advertising > Gas & Oil > Merchandise & Memorabilia > Signs

I tried using Auctiva to find the number, but their site is down for upgrades.

You cannot move them there now unless you end the auctions and start them over. You have them on Ebay Motors ....treated as a seperate site by Ebay.....and you cannot switch from one site to the other.

When you start a new listing, it will read " category" click on "change category". When the next page comes up, click on "browse Category". Just highlight one section at a time. NO NEED to try to find category numbers.
