7/11    Anybody know if there is a better way to buy used stuff other than
        ebay?  I found the used golf clubs that I wanted at ebay, but I must
        have wasted at least 5 hours total looking through listings and bidding
        for it.  I need a service that will let me enter an EXACT description
        of the things I want and let the sellers come to me instead.  I read
        about intelligent agents that will mine the internet for very specific
        information automatically.  So where the hell is it?
        \_ garage sales, tag sales, yard sales, depending on what part
        of the country you live in. fuck the internet.
            \_ driving around town looking for garage sales would waste MORE
               time, not less.
        \_ What's a tag sale?  Same thing, different name?
        \_ http://eWanted.com, the reverse version of http://eBay.com
             \_ ideally, that should work, but b/c most of us are selfish
                bastards and want the most money we can get for our shit,
                most stuff gets posted at ebay instead of ewanted.
                i.e. why would i want to sell some dvd for $12 when i can
                rack that stuff up to $21 and above and ebay?
                \_ Death to evil pig dog capitolists!
                   \_ At least have the decency to spell that right,
                      welfare leech.
                      \_ How is the misspelling indecent?  --pld
                      \_The peeple will not be oppressed by your capitolist
                        spelling!  Die evil dot com scum!

7/31    Hi, I am looking for a monitoring recommendation for use at home
        with my MacMini and as a second monitor for my Airbook. At this
        point I dont want to buy a fancy Apple monitor -- will probably
        wait for then to announce a new one -- but price doesnt really
        matter [office buy], but it doesnt seem like there is any need
        to spend more than $500? Historically I've just gotten a decent

3/18    Why is a genuine Mac Book charger $60 when it's only $20 on eBay?
        I failed to see a difference in quality.
        \_ Why does popcorn cost so much at the movies? Why do car values
           halve the minute you take it off the lot? Why do you suddenly
           pay less when you become a senior citizen? There are economic
           reasons for just about every pricing puzzle.

5/23    I'm seeing a bunch of old German copy stuff w/ Swastika on it
        selling on eBay. Doesn't eBay ban Swastika? Or I got it confused
        with other stuff?
        \_ These are only banned in Germany.
        \_ and in France.

1/26    Bought my XSi kit with 18-55 and 55-250 for only $750. The price
        has since then jacked up to about $950 because of US $ and
        the end of Canon's $100 rebate. I'll be selling it back on
        eBay for a profit. Expect Canon to release something completely
        new and better for this year's PMA. Canon rules.
        \_ Canon encourages employees to go home early and make more

1/14    I'm an eBay power seller. In the past couple months I've had
        a bunch of people claiming that they never received their items
        and they're all from the AL, MO area. I'm going to start adding
        tracking (75 cents more) which will eat up my profit margin
        significantly since the items I sell are really cheap (sub $10
        and $5 items and eBay+PayPal are already eating up 10% of fees).

12/15   I have a few 100G and 200G drives that I want to dump. Do people
        actually buy used legacy HD on eBay?
        \_ Yup they do -- researchers doing articles on the lack of safety
           of data on computers often go to eBay, buy used hard drives,
           and mine all sorts of goodies from the not, or poorly, wiped
           drives.
