Buying body piercing jewelry

I'm here to talk about the importance of using quality jewelry for initial piercings. We all want great deals and usually find them on ebay; but when it comes to buying body jewelry, you seriously have to be careful! When reading an ad, do your homework! Especially if your piercing is less than 6 months old. Yes! some piercings can take 6 months and longer to heal. For most people new to receiving a piercing, being patient is the biggest challenge. Who doesn't want all sorts of cute, interesting or beautiful jewelry? Unfortunately, lack of patience and/or buying poor-quality jewelry can ruin a piercing. Often the cheap materials in the jewelry cause an allergic reaction. This in turn might cause an infection. If you've had an allergic reaction when you wore a ring, necklace or other jewelry, it's pretty-much a guarantee you'll have the same allergic reaction with any piercing if you use poor-quality jewelry. Even after your piercing has healed. For new piercings it might be best to share with you what materials you should avoid for an initial piercing.
Unless you are sure your piercing is completely healed do NOT use acrylic, Sterling silver, natural or organic materials, such as bone, wood, or horns. Do not use gold-plated, gold-filled or any metal coated with gold. Novelty or fashion jewelry is not advised either. The primary reasons are most of these cannot be sterilized properly, some of rough edges you might not be able to see, The rough edges can irritate an unhealed piercing and germs can hide or attach to rough edges. Some of the metals found in gold-plated and fashion jewelry can cause an allergic reaction or discolor the skin. Most of the cheap stuff is not even inspected to insure quality or safety.
Not-to-worry. There are tons of sellers on ebay who sell great quality jewelry at great prices. Don't be afraid to ask the seller questions about the jewelry. I've discovered that an honest seller with great feedback almost always lists the materials used. If you don't know what's in the jewelry, it's best to avoid it. Again, one more reminder is to be patient. If you care for your piercing safely and properly, once it's fully-healed you can then buy almost any kind of jewelry you want; unless of course you have an allergy to certain metals or materials. (The most common metal allergy is nickel).
Hope this has been helpful.

Tribute to murdered Arkansas Boys Robin Hood Hills

The song "I Still Cry" is a video tribute to the three 8-year old boys brutally murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas on May 5, 1993. Sadly, the person, or persons responsible for this horrific crime still walk the streets. They know who they are and their judgement day will come soon, the truth will one day be known. Christopher Byers, Michael Moore, & Stevie Branch were just innocent grade two students who loved to play and have fun, like any other child. How anyone could do such a terrible thing to three little angels is unfathomable in my eyes. I guess what disturbs me the most is when I saw the video footage from the documentary, Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory. It showed the crime scene, the police retrieving the poor, lifeless bodies from the drainage ditch, naked, bloody, beaten, mutilated & hogtied. I could not get those images out of my head and especially when I have a son of my own, the very same age. The song is performed by Soakes Lonesome, it can be located on Youtube, just type Soakes Lonesome I Still Cry. There are two versions, please listen to the Revised one. God Bless all children, Thank you!

Fraud buying expensive watches and jewelry

Buying expensive watches and jewelry in a free auction : you may be victim of fraud, and price manipulation know as shill bidding (bidding on own items, setting hidden reserve and running price up) Here I have a tips from my huge experience as a seller, how to check sellers feedback and pay correct and good price. Real free auction (no tricks) - is a great way to save money and pay correct market price. Go ahead, but check you seller carefully!
This guide is how to check feedback only. If you like guide, I will add much more important tips for buying. Feedback is very important, but not everything.

1. Checking sellers feedback:

- Avoid hidden sales, privet feedback and privet sales. If someone making it shady - he has a reason for that. Good guys having nothing to hide.

- Consistent feedback. Not likely that someone selling used jeans and $15k watch same time. Sellers for $$$ items are not regular persons. They buying, selling very special type of items. Good "friends" of expensive watches are golf clubs, expensive pens, collectables, gold coins, knifes, expensive bags and shoes. No likely, that someone will try to get $5 profit from used PSP game - and sell $20k watch. Rich peoples are busy - not spending time for $20 items.

- Consistent activity over time : not likely, that someone 'sleeping 'for 2 years, then selling lot of $$$ items. Usually peoples having same activity over time, same type of items.

- Check buyers of you seller (feedback as seller) : if you recognize someone with very special and good feedback, probably it is real. "tell me why you buyers and I will tell you why you are"

- Check sellers of you seller (feedback as buyer). Rich person, selling $20k watch may buy PSP for kid, but will not buy used $10 shirt.

- Check feedback left by you seller to others. You will learn something about sellers personality, and some "hidden" auctions (not any buyer posing feedback after purchase)

- Check feedback "density" . Not likely, that someone having sold 10 watches every week, 40 watches per month (free auction), but getting only only 10 feedback per month. Not every buyer posting feedback - but most of then do. 60-80% of buyers posting feedback, that mean if you sell 40 watches in a month - you should have 30 feedback monthly. If you seller having only 10 feedbacks from 40 sales - he probably using shill bidding to inflate the price and not interesting to show "shill" buyers in his feedback. Pay attention : most buyers are unique, good sellers having repeating buyers, but it will be not strange zero feedback guys, "buying" $$$ watches more and more.

- Look at the currency and feedback language : Not likely that someone having 99% of feedback in German, selling lot of $$$ watches in US. Not likely, if seller selling 2 years in Euro, will start selling in dollars.

- Feedback style and language : Pay attention - if you seller selling worldwide, at least 50% buyers (for $$$ watches) will be from outside US. Strange, if most feedback coming from US : possibly those are shill buyers.Real buyers are very different : feedback should be different in language and style. Same style "this is best seller, will buy more and more!" - looks me strange.
