EBAY, or, Flooding the Marketplace, or, "What happens in Vegas better not happen in Vegas."

Last week Moog and I had a revelation. We were at Comp USA for their "going out of business sale", and saw a bunch of digital camera docks for sale at 80% off. A steal (or so we thought). We checked EBAY and saw that we could easily triple our money by selling them, so we went back and bought six of them. I placed them on EBAY the following day, anxiously anticipating our lucrative payday. Unfortunately there was a reason that these things were on sale. Nobody wants them. We lost a combined $40 on the deal. You would think I would've learned a lesson from this. However, as you will soon read, I did not.

Today I listed several jackets on EBAY for my dear friends, Cody & Amy Moxley. This venture poses little risk for me, save getting beat up by Cody and Amy if they don't sell. But, with models like these fine gentlemen, how could they not sell! If you would like to view the items in all of their glory, click here. It will be well worth your time.

Mel leaves for Vegas today. Melissa can gamble, carouse, booze, and smoke with the best of them so this weekend should be nothing short of stellar for her. Wait...she's pregnant. WHY IS SHE GOING TO VEGAS!?!?!? Jen is turning 30 so a group of young ladies (12 of them and I use the word, "young", loosely) will be heading their to celebrate Jen's 30 years of life and will be staying at the Paris hotel in the heart of the strip. I am taking them to the airport this evening and will then begin my weekend of bachelorhood with Bauer. Actually, I am taking the CSET (a horrific state standardized test to be an English teacher) on Saturday so my weekend will probably be pretty uneventful. Pray that the ladies are safe and that they have a good time.
