Exciting Info About Wednesday Meet & Greet

Jun 3, 2005 11:36 AM
Hello Fellow eBay Live Attendees:

The Moderators of the "Going to eBay Live 2005" Group are pleased to announce that this year our good friends at buySAFE have graciously offered to be a sponsor for our Unofficial Annual Sellers Meet & Greet.

This is very exciting. The first 100 people to arrive will receive a drink ticket for their first drink from buySAFE, a decorative collectible pin that is also a name badge (I have seen the designs for these....they are wicked cool!), an advance copy of Marsha Collier's new booklet buySAFE for Dummies, and most exciting the first exclusive game piece for the "Win with buySAFE" Game that will be played during the convention. This will give attendees a head start on a chance to win one of many cash prizes of up to $1,000.00!!

This is an annual event put together by a Group of eBay Members...The Going to eBay Live 2005 Group. It is a great way to get a head start on the fun of the convention and meeting other ebayers.

We have prize drawings and lots of fun. We are a Public Group so please feel free to join us for more details. Here is a link to our Group here on ebay:

The Sellers Meet and Greet is open to all eBay Members and is going to be at The Paragon Bar at The Hotel Montgomery at 211 S. First Street in San Jose starting at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday June 22nd. It is near the Convention Center and other downtown hotels.

What fabulous news, Clarissa!

For those of you that haven't attended this event in the past, let me say that this is one I look forward to every year. It keeps growing, and with this sponsorship from buySAFE it will be even better!



buySAFE is a great service. In addition to offering the only online seller bonding service available, they are committed to working with you to offer tools and advice to help you grow your business. They are a wonderful group of knowledgable people. I can't say enough good things about them. :)



I'm looking forward to meeting as many new folks as possible this year at Live ... hope to meet you at the Wednesday night Meet & Greet!



Cathy

I just heard from Tim at buySAFE and he's really excited to be involved. Last year, in New Orleans, he was at the meet & greet and realized what a great time it was for everybody that attended and what a big help it is to make a friend before the convention starts if you're traveling alone.

Join the going to ebay live group and get all the details, or just visit the link above and check it out.

See you there!!

Exciting Info About Wednesday Meet & Greet

Jun 15, 2005 7:13 PM
We had no idea there was another cocktail party planned. We did not read the posts until someone notified us about the Meet and Greet today. We contacted the hotel in January 2005 to talk about an open no host cocktail party. We had no idea there was another one planned and we did not read the posts until someone notified us today about the Meet and Greet. We were just posting an update. No reason why they can't be combined is there? Unless someone has an objection about people meeting to have a good time, which was our only intention, we don't see any reason why both parties can't go on! If you go back and look at the posts in January 2005 for eBay Live, you will see we posted info about stay at the Hotel Montgomery and stated we were going to host a cocktail party at the hotel on Wednesday. I don't know why there should be a problem, everyone is welcome and this is just a get together, that is all, it is not a competition for cocktail parties. Just wanted to let you know that we were not trying to step on any toes! Hope to meet all of you at the hotel!

WOW! talk about a hijacking! looks like this is going to be one very crowded situation instead of a lovely get together that this group has put together each year and the hard work they put into it.

Our Third Annual Meet & Greet is actually in the bar, the Paragon. You won't be able to bring your own coctails into the bar, I would suspect.

6:30 is the time, but many folks aren't arriving until 8 or 9, so we'll be going all night in the bar area and spilling out into the nice outdoor bar area.

It was tons of fun in both Orlando and New Orleans, so make sure you stop by sometime in the evening, at the Paragon Bar at the Hotel Montgomery and make some new friends or catch up with some old friends.

And don't forget, buySAFE is buying the first 100 folks a drink at the Paragon, so be sure to be thirsty when you arrive, LOL.

This will indeed be our best Meet & Greet yet with the buySAFE sponsorship, possible coverage by Auctionbytes, a real cross section of the community in attendance and a super cool location at the Paragon.

As soon as they announce next years eBay Live location the Going To Live Group Moderators will have to get back to work scoping out the location for next year.

Hey Carolyn and Rene: Are you up for another trip to plan next year...LOL...we had such a ball went we went to San Jose last November to plan this one.

Reminder about the prize drawing:
Just to let everyone know we will be starting the prize drawing around 8:00 or so. We have had a fabulous response from the Sellers on the Going to eBay Live Group Board so it looks like there are going to be lots of prizes. Anyone that arrives before then can put there name in the prize drawing......if you arrive later and we are still giving away prizes you an go ahead and add your name when you arrive.

Clarissa, I'll be bringing a donation for the prize drawing....and hoping I win one too! The picture of Meg was actually taken the day before Live in Orlando. I ran into her and Henry in the hotel Lobby. I was surprised she remember me from our previous encounters, but have since learned she is very good at remember faces and names.
