“Rummaging is an occasional blog focused on bizarre eBay auctions, celebrity property news, islands in the sun and fantastical travel destinations. But mostly bizarre eBay auctions.”
The fine folks behind rummaging.com are very straight forward in their description of the purpose of this site. More importantly, they hit it right on the head. In fact, while I read it, I was honestly avoiding work, staring out the window, and refusing to be held accountable for pretty much any of my own actions. You can’t help but love a site that hits the nail right on the head.
The design of the site is very simple and clean. It’s a standard Typepad layout, so it’s meant to be clean. A welcome message and a variety of recent posts are listed down the left column of the three-column layout; Google ads and other standard weblog decorations fill the right column. There’s nothing to complain about with the design, and it works perfectly for the site.
Rummaging is broken down into six different categories: about rummaging, auctions, celebrity, current affairs, politics, and property. The convenient thing about a weblog put together using Typepad is that one entry can be assigned to more than one category. This made going through the ten months of archived entries a little easier to focus on when going through my category.
Some weblogs are updated every day, sometimes multiple times a day. This isn’t one of those weblogs. With rummaging.org, that’s a very good thing. The posts that are made by the various authors are never just random thoughts thrown into an entry. The posts have a point, and for the most part, they have really great details backing up whatever point the author is trying to make. There’s correct spelling and proper grammar, which is always a plus.
Any random internet surfer could stumble upon this weblog and be drawn into it. There’s no background information needed and there probably isn’t anyone that would say they “don’t get” or “don’t understand” the premise of the site.
Anyone that has even a remote interest in finding yet another way on the internet to kill a little time will definitely find this site as one to add to their bookmarks. Take a quick stop by rummaging.org and see what kind of obscure Ebay auctions are getting ready to end. You wouldn’t want to miss out on an opportunity to win the next autographed charity banana that goes up for bid.
