eBay is a site I swore I wouldn’t use. However, I have given it a go to sell my Rover lawnmower which I bought a year ago for $400. The most any second hand store would give me was $80 and they weren’t interested at all that I had a reciept from Bunnings to prove it was mine. After a little research I found out that much like cars, lawnmowers halve in value as soon as you buy them. Fuck! So that’s when I thought about listing it on eBay. Bidding has been furious for my lawnmower (nicknamed McManus). I started it at $100 thinking no bastard would want to pay more than that for a one year old mower. It now stands at $180. Not bad. So if you’re short of dough, give the online hockshop a try. Forget about all those dodgy pawnbrokers. Buy directly off dodgy people like me. I think people are bidding well for McManus because I have mentioned that I will give the buyer my Bunnings receipt when they buy it from me. That way they are covered by the 5 year warranty if anything stuffs up. Anyhow…
A couple of servers walked out of Australian Customs’ offices at Sydney airport. You’d hope there’s no doggy pr0n on it wouldn’t you?
And yet you still lived to tell the tale…
My eBay experinces havn’t gone so well, so forgive me if I seem bitter and twisted.

I did get $420 for that mower. $20 more than I paid for it 12 months earlier. Sheesh!
