I can’t tell you how frustrated I am with ebay

Author: admin | Filed under: ebay, Twitter

There were two items that I was shooting for on ebay (the neon sign and bar setup headquarters). Both had attractive “Buy it Now” prices, but, I opted to bid on them instead. Which, as you I Bought it on ebay lovin’ fools know, removes the buy it now option. Both significantly blew past their buy it now prices (one tripled it, the other doubled it). Damn, I wanted this cooler too.

Now is your big chance to do something cool on the 4th of July weekend. I’m selling 2 tickets for the Nascar truck and Indy races the 6th and 7th of july in Kansas Speedway (that’s 4 tickets total). They were $45 bucks a piece, but will probably sell for much, much less.

Quote from eBay on pop-ups

“‘We believe that, when properly used, this tool can help retain users who are flowing from eBay’s home page out to the Internet,’ the company said in its note to members.”

God forbid users should be allowed to leave thier site. [via: Ev]

eBay owns your time, or so they think

Author: admin | Filed under: ebay

Well, I sold my camera for more than I bought it for (and more than a new one costs new – but he got extra memory and a polarized filter), but I’ve had it for over a year. So I went to best buy and picked up a Canon Elph 110. It’s small, about the size of a deck of cards for double-oh-seven sakes. I thought I wouldn’t like holding it, because I had trouble with my Sony and my caffeine induced shakes, but the metal case makes for a firm feel in your hand – the Elph is easier to hold steady than that big hunk of Sony plastic. I like it, so far. It’s a good thing I don’t have any kitties, because look what happened to Kari when she got a digital camera.
