I hate when I bid on something on eBay and someone ganks my shit at the last minute.

Whoa, it's freaking out outside -- thunder and lightning and all that. Told ya it's Freak Day.

Depending on what you buy, you might want to try half.com instead. They have set prices.

Oh, HELL yeah -- thanks! I always forget about that site. I've been looking for one of these.

The secret to winning Ebay auctions is to be there at the last minute to gank somebody else's shit.

True. Sometimes when I do that, though, I let my last-minute ganking get out of control and I end up paying $300 for a "Welcome Back, Kotter" lunchbox.

Speaking of ganking...

You might want to consider some software to do the ganking for you (great word btw), then you can piss other people off. I just bought this program:

And it is pretty cool. You set the price you want to pay, and the time you want to bid on it. You can set it to bid like 5 seconds before an auction closes. In the long run it saves you money because you don't frantically bid at the last minute, paying more than you would have. At least that's the theory ;0). I like not having to babysit auctions.

That mouse looks cool, please let me know how you like it. I've been thinking of getting a trackball too.

Wow, thanks -- that looks great! Now if I can just figure out how to gank this automatic ganker for free. ;)

And that trackball is wonderful. I've had one for a couple of years and wouldn't use anything else. I'm getting another one for the office!
