There's always some sort of problem when selling those damn Wii's. It never fails. In this case, I just got an email from someone in bumfuck nowhere who had purchased one and was sending me odd info. They seem to claim that they made a mistake in chosing their payment type and that instead of charging the Wii to a credit card, they had used a bank ( Read more... )

Nothing much of interest happened today and I spent a good chunk of it bored. About the only upside was I managed to pick up another Amazon gift cert off the amex wishlist. I then took both certs and converted them into Wii's. Now I'm hocking the Wii's and if I'm lucky and don't get ripped off, it should be a spiffy christmas for everyone ( Read more... )

The people who are chronic complainers usually get a positive result while those who grin and forebear get shafted. Usually I'm in the latter category due almost exclusively to laziness.

Yay! One of the side-advantages of flipping those Wii's on ebay just arrived today. Since I used the Amazon Visa to make the purchased, I accumilated a hell of a lot of points redeamable for gift certificates. All in all, I've picked up $50 with some points left over to boot.

So now I've got yet another Wii on its way to me from Sears.com and I've got to figure out how to unload it. It's not a huge big deal since I know that Shelley still has at least one friend that ( Read more... )

I just got a response back from the whiny cunt. I thought I'd continue to share the exchange for the entertainment value if nothing else. Here's what he wrote:

Man, selling those Wii's on eBay has been the gift that keeps on giving. Earlier today I got a message from someone who had purchased one last sunday and was wondering where it was. I sent him a response telling him that his item had been sent by USPS priority mail, and that according to the delivery confirmation number, it had been delivered ( Read more... )

Welp, I sold the extra Western Digital My Book on ebay. I listed it with a BIN price of $114.95 which might have been a bit low given the fact that someone snapped it up within a couple of hours. It's always hard to know exactly where to set your prices for things like that and I've had enough of auctions for the time being. The whole uncertainty ( Read more... )
