Money and Children ~ eBay item Sold

MoneyTalk for Kids

Its been a loooooooooong time since I last posted about my children earning money from eBay.

Yes! Another of their toys were sold. This time the kids get to decide on the price of the toy they are selling. Before we listed the item on my eBay, I taught them how to determine how much their toy was worth.

  1. Visited toy shop to look at similar toys and checked out their prices.
  2. Advised them that used toys should be priced lower than new toys.
  3. Highlighted scratches on their toy, thus price should be even lower.

After these points were given, I was surprised at Keatkeat’s response, “Mommy, just sell it for $8. Almost same price as new ones. Then if the person want discount then we discount for him lor.”

*Jaws Dropped*

He was definitely paying attention when he was ‘helping’ me at my retail business in the past. But that was four years ago!!! I am impressed!

In the end, the above toy was slashed from $8 to $5 before it was sold today to a first-time-Mommy.

*Kaching!*

Happy Birthday Ah Yee!

Handicraft for kids, Special Moments


Yup! That is what my boys called my sis, “Ah Yee.”

I am afraid that this would be the last time they would be celebrating her birthday at midnight. Their Ah Yee will be tying the knot with her beau in December this year. It is my family tradition to celebrate when the clock strikes 12. But after this year, I doubt she would be coming back to this house at 12 midnight just to cut the cake. *shrugged*

Ah Yee: “I am not so much of a ‘cake person’ and after eating so many different types of cakes over the years, I have no idea what to choose for this year.” After much thoughts, she continued: “Ah! I want cupcakes!”

So we set off to search for her cupcakes with her, but the bakery failed to get her order out in time for the celebration and so she changed to muffins! Not any muffins, but the famous Delicious Muffins from Oven Marvel. How Special! *Grin*

*Check out the review of the muffins in my personal blog.

After a night sleep with a tummy full of muffins, we headed to Jumbo Seafood Restaurant, Singapore Indoor Stadium branch, which gave another round of commendable service, comparable to that of the Jumbo Seafood Restaurant branch at Demsey Hill.

The kids did something special for Ah Yee this year, with lots of help from their Mummy, to avoid getting pricked at the ends.

 Happy Birthday Ah Yee!
