COLLECTION: This is not a post…
…this is a complaint: Just as “the units” crossed the $100 mark (and with two days to go no less) eBay took my auction down.
That was meant to spell out a little message to eBay, kind of like a flip-book, but I’m not really sure it worked. Can you see what I’m saying? Maybe if you cut a small horizontal hole in a piece of paper, then look through it while you scroll past the… er, sorry, there I go getting all Mr. Wizard on you. I think I doubled up on the "f"-sound anyway.
Regardless, as long as I was sitting in the booth, I abounded the pantomime act in favor of some vigorous head-shaking.
That’s always a good time. I’ve done better too—if you time it just right your mouth stretches out all funny—but I started feeling sick. My brain hurt. And my glasses flew off. And Grant said he could hear my lips smacking halfway down the bar and I started laughing.
Back to the eBay situation though; apparently they took it down cause it was listed in the wrong category. Who knew they weren’t collectables? Anyway, if you check back Monday mid-day-ish there’ll be a new and improved link to a new and improved ad—assuming of course I can find the “mature audiences” section of eBay, which I haven’t been able to do so far, otherwise they’re going under “health>massagers” where I’ve found several similar items.
On a side note I’ve had to put my interning plans on hold as I’ve decided to go to Vegas for the next week or so for the World Series of Poker. I’m hoping to update from there, but I was also planning on taking my eBay money and multiplying it by 35-or so with a single perfect roulette bet. Now I guess I’m going to have to play with my rent money… eesh, wish me luck.
Sadly, this time around I had to put it in the "mature audience" section, it’s no different really, except that you can’t check it out without first logging in with your eBay account, then click a button promising you’re over 18. Also, I had a bit of a hard time getting it up (no pun intended), if you suffer similar difficulty, I recommend coming back to the page and clicking the link again AFTER you log in. Weird, I know. Bottom line: I guess its for serious buyers only now… oh well.
