Ebay musings

I got two links to share one is a helpful tool and the other is just funny:

first, this is cool. It will help with the fermentaton process:

second, this guy is selling an empty sixer for the bottle. The auction is 99 cents and shipping is 8 bucks. Why would I pay 9 bucks for empty 12oz. bottles when I can go to the liquor store and pay the same price or less for full bottles?:

Ha, too funny! The guy might just be trying to take advantage of some poor sap who doesn't know any better. I also get a kick out how he says they are sanitized and ready to be filled... yeah, right... they may have been sanitized at one point, but by the time they were shipped, I would hardly consider them "sanitized."

But... but... those ones he is selling are ALREADY sanitized. Like he said, you just need to buy them and fill them with something.

I am going to watch that item, JUST to see if someone actually bids on them.

He's also selling nickels for $0.99.

Yes, they're 1936 buffalo nickels, but even those are only worth about $0.35 or $0.40.

Do the nickels ship for 8 bucks too?

What a way to sell your empties! The six pack was approximately that price ...

You would be amazed what people will pay on Ebay.

I used to get Disney gift cards for different promos at work. So i would get a 200 dollar Disney gift card. I would put it up on eBay and EVERY SINGLE TIME i would get more then 200 dollars. So people would pay me 206 dollars plus like 3 dollars in shipping. Yet they could go to Disney website and pay only 200 bucks and get free shipping...

Never made any sense to me but i was happy to unload the Disney gift cards for cash.
