eBay Live! 2007 in BostonBy Steve Nye, eBay Certified Consultant It's that time of year again! The only time of year when we halt our listings to take a break, something we don’t even do for family vacations. But for this? Yes. And why? One thing – to become more successful selling on eBay. Okay, that and you just want a justifiable excuse to get out of town and go have some fun. I’m in the same boat, and am looking forward to a Sox game against the Rockies. But, in case you get sidetracked amidst all the fun in Beantown, I’m going to highlight a few things you won’t want to miss during your weekend at eBay Live! Mad Hatter" Meet & GreetAre you getting in early on Wednesday night? Join other eBay sellers (everyone is invited) to the “Mad Hatter” Meet and Greet on Wednesday, June 13, at 7 pm at Ned Devine's Paris Hall in Faneuil Hall (aka Quincy Marketplace). The theme is a Mad Hatter Tea Party, and the person with the best hat wins a prize. For more information, go to http://forums.ebay.com/db1/thread.jspa?threadID=2000372722. eBay Live!

Come hungry, cause there is plenty of food and fun for everyone. Everyone? Yes, for all 10,000 of us! Other Fun things in BeanTownI’ve never been to Boston before, so I am looking forward to seeing some of the sights and eating some of the local cuisine. Here are a couple fun things I’ve found that you may also enjoy. The Freedom Trail According to their website, the Freedom Trail is a 2.5 mile red-brick walking trail that leads you to 16 nationally significant historic sites, every one an authentic American treasure. Preserved and dedicated by the citizens of Boston in 1958, when the wrecking ball threatened, the Freedom Trail today is a unique collection of museums, churches, meeting houses, burying grounds, parks, a ship, and historic markers that tell the story of the American Revolution and beyond. You can find more information at http://www.thefreedomtrail.org. Legal Sea Foods This is the seafood restaurant of restaurants. I have heard of this place and I haven’t even been to Boston. Reasonably priced and supposedly having the best seafood in town, Legal Sea Foods has eight locations in the Boston area! So, really there is no excuse why you shouldn’t check it out and make a reservation! Go to http://www.legalseafoods.com for more information.
