This seller has 97.1% positive feed back, 102 positive, and 3 negative in the last 12 months.

This was given as a christmas gift and although there is no marking or sign it is maharishi (odd i know) i promise it is!, its from the seriously expensive range where they dont even need to put a label on it!</blockquote>I don't know if this is true or a false, but if you are asking people to pony up for a super expensive designer jacket, it would be a good idea to post a link or two to a site which verifies the story of no labels on the garment. Whether they are lying or telling the truth, their story is less believeable when they post:<br /><blockquote>... this is RARE!, and wont be on ebay again, RRP £500+ and this wont be going for anything less than three digits so bid early as once 12 hours is left i will cancel auction if price is not met, buy it nows are welcome and pls check other items.<br /></blockquote><br />Hurry, hurry give me your money, that's what I'm hearing. Rather than espousing the plus points of the jacket, how heads will turn towards you, how you will instantly become really cool, or even how warm it is, the seller tells us they will cancel the listing if they don't think they are going to get enough for it. Hello? That's what a reserve bid is for! It's a fine line between marketing something and using the same language that a scammer would use. "Buy it nows are welcome?" Why didn't they stick a buy it now option on the listing then with how much they would be prepared to take for it then?<br /><br />More information like sizes from collar to hem, shoulder to cuff would have been most welcome in a listing like this. Coupled with all that, they chose the cheapest possible layout to showcase this outstanding coat. Please, if you want top dollar on auction items you are selling, see them from the perspective of a buyer and don't make the mistake of selling yourself short.<br /><br />Would you gamble on this?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26074972.post-67952963204587478022007-11-19T15:10:00.000-08:002007-11-25T20:06:28.404-08:00POS operating system<p>Thinking of getting a new operating system?

The reason for the <span style="font-weight: bold;">black</span> as seller Scrapbookingbutterfly explains is that:<br /><blockquote style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><br />For much of the Galactic Civil War, a mysterious agent of the evil Sith Lord Emperor Palpatine, code-named “Blackhole,” carefully gathered intelligence data for the Galactic Empire. Blackhole had an impressive arsenal of weapons available to him, including a Star Destroyer, the signature vessel of the Imperial Starfleet. The Stormtroopers under Blackhole’s command were known as Shadow Stormtroopers. Their armor was cast in black stygian-triprismatic polymer which had increased sensor-stealth capabilities, allowing them to move about the galaxy undetected.</blockquote><br /><br />With a starting bid of <span style="font-weight: bold;">$649.00</span> you would be forgiven for thinking that the helmet really is made of <span style="font-style: italic;">black stygian-triprismatic polymer</span>, but it's probably made of plastic. It is wearable though, with a padded lining. Pretty cool, but at that price only for serious SW geeks.

This isn't too far from the truth if you have caught his shows on tv. He is able to bamboozle bystanders with a mix of magic, misdirection, mentalism, hypnnosis and showmanship.<br /><br />Before his tv fame though, he was but a humbl magician, albeit with a penchant for taxidermy. Derren wrote a book, which is now out of print called Pure Effect where he discusses some of the tricks of the trade, and how he approaches performing his routines.<br /><br />Here he with some candy counters:<br /><div><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mZroxXmFovc"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mZroxXmFovc" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></div><br /><br />Highly sought after these don't come up too often.

The domain name extenstion dot ws (.ws) ist used by the country of Western Samoa, and it is not as popular as other extensions. Some have tried to make the extension more popular by using .ws as an abbreviation for website. Another use for it is commonly known as a domain hack where the extension and the domain name make up a whole word, like <a href="http://www.sentenc.es/">sentenc.es</a> or <a href="http://www.gondo.la/">gondo.la</a>. The seller writes:<br /><blockquote><br />This is a sale of the internet domain name www.deathlyhallo.ws.

The poor woman. Not even dead 2 weeks and there are people trading domains with her name in the title. I wonder how many of these will be developed into lasting websites, not many I fear. One seller even describes the domains that they are selling as "</span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" >classy</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">".</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">You can find such 'gems' as: </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">AnnaNicoleSmith.bz</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">ByeAnna.com</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">RememberingAnna.com</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">AnnaNicoleSmithsLoveChild.com</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">ThankyouAnna.com</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">AnnaLivesOn.com </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">If you fancy building your own Anna homage site find the domain name </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-5232-2978-1/1?AID=9479574&PID=2005594&mpre=http%3A//search.ebay.com/search/search.dll%3Fsofocus%3Dbs%26sbrftog%3D1%26fcl%3D3%26catref%3DC6%26from%3DR10%26satitle%3DAnna+Nicole+Smith%26sacat%3D11154%2526catref%253DC6%26sargn%3D-1%2526saslc%253D2%26sadis%3D200%26fpos%3DPA8+6DY%26ftrt%3D1%26ftrv%3D1%26saprclo%3D%26saprchi%3D%26fsop%3D1%2526fsoo%253D1">here</a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">. Otherwise I'd leave them well alone and not encourage profiting from the woman's death when she hasn't even been dead for 2 weeks. </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26074972.post-37518932875554814932007-02-14T18:08:00.000-08:002007-02-14T18:15:00.324-08:00How Cheap is Posh Spice?Going for a song at the moment on eBay with only a few minutes left is a domain name:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-5232-2978-1/1?AID=9479574&PID=2005594&mpre=http%3A//cgi.ebay.com/POSHSPICE-INFO-DOMAIN-NAME-FOR-SALE-VERY-RARE_W0QQitemZ140083776508QQihZ004QQcategoryZ11153QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem%3Fhash%3Ditem140083776508"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">PoshSpice.info</span></a><br /><br /></span></div> Would Becks be happy to know that his wife has only had 3 bids up to $0.61?<br />There would probably be a legal suit from Posh and hubby if anything spice girl related was ever put on it but if you want to bid in the last few minutes bid <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-5232-2978-1/1?AID=9479574&PID=2005594&mpre=http%3A//cgi.ebay.com/POSHSPICE-INFO-DOMAIN-NAME-FOR-SALE-VERY-RARE_W0QQitemZ140083776508QQihZ004QQcategoryZ11153QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem%3Fhash%3Ditem140083776508">here</a>.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26074972.post-1170303677234980082007-01-31T19:51:00.000-08:002007-01-31T20:21:17.246-08:00Spiderman Movie Script by James Cameron<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-5232-2978-1/1?AID=9479574&PID=2005594&mpre=http%3A//cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26ih%3D007%26sspagename%3DSTRK%253AMEWA%253AIT%26viewitem%3D%26item%3D170073617799%26rd%3D1%26rd%3D1"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5683/1913/320/916832/Spiderman%20movie%20script.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />How about this for an unusual auction: a first draft script (or scriptment) from none other then Terminator and Titanic director James Cameron himself. He was initially interested in directing the movie version of Spiderman but went on to pursue other projects and the film was finally shot by Sam Raimi of Evil Dead fame.<br /><br />With <span style="font-weight: bold;">Spiderman 3</span> out soon will this rise in value? Who knows? At the time of writing this it stands at £67.00 with 16 bids. Seems like a good deal seeing as the script is 120 pages long.
