    Selling a potentially very valuable item on ebay, good or bad idea?

    Buying and selling on eBay is actually exceptionally safe and my preferred method for anything under $10,000. If you take appropriate precautions (detailed pictures and description, shipping insurance, appropriate documentation, detailed messaging, secure payment types, etc), the chance of being victimized is incredibly low. I've bought and sold many gaming items in the low thousands range and have never had a problem. The few times I've had issues, I've never lost any money.

    With any other type of marketplace or personal sale, you take on all the risk and expose yourself to all sorts of scams and exploits. 

    Same experience here. Bought & sold large items and never got scammed, but you have to make sure all the details are covered. I, however, wouldn't sell it on ebay since the bogus IRS bill was passed last year.

    Albums, Songs, and the Changing of How Music is Heard

    in Everything Else

    Posted · Edited by Nugfish

    There are some albums that I almost have to listen to start to finish: Led Zeppelin II, Metallica's Death Magnetic, Avenged Sevenfold's City of Evil, Creed's Human Clay, to name a few. There are also bands that I really enjoy, like Whitesnake and the Scorpions, whose albums I do really like, but I'd much rather just listen to the songs I love and skip the filler. 

     

    After contemplating this for a while, I think it may be due to some sort of emotional attachment to those albums more than anything else...

    Have one circuit left in Stunt Racer, but I need to grind another 20-30 races to be able to buy the car to be competitive. I have unfairly dumped all over this game for years, but it has been enjoyable. upgrade & buy cars, themed courses with good atmospheres, only a few shortcuts and you don't have to know them to win. I don't think it is, but I could make an argument that it is the best racer on the console.

    A proctologist is fed up with his choice of occupation. He comes home to his wife and says, "Nothing but buttholes 9-5, all day, every day. I've had enough!" His wife is taken off guard. "You put in all those years to get your doctorate. What are you gonna do? Become a family doctor?" asks the wife. "No," says the doctor, "Cars have been my hobby for years, so I'm going to go to school to become a mechanic."

    He takes a two year course to be an automotive technician and he receives a 150% on his final exam. The man, astonished, asks his teacher how he could have received a 150% on his test. "Well," says the teacher, "you took the engine apart flawlessly, so that's 50%. You put it back perfectly, so that's 50%. I know I should have given you more than 50% extra credit, but I didn't want the other students to be too jealous. "How did I earn the extra credit?" asks the man.

    Spoiler

    The teacher replies, "Well, I'll be damned if I've ever had anybody else take the exam through the tail pipe!"

    I don't recall back in the day but during the original Xbox run did Disney stores sell Xbox games? 

    I live in the Omaha, NE metro. There was a Disney store in one of the malls at that time and I can confidently say they did not sell any XBOX games
