I will admit I am a ebay [img]graemlins/wavey.gif[/img]

Stuff is just TOO cheap on there sometimes..........................

My 2 biggest vices on there would be Snap On and old school Alpine stuff.......................especially old Alpine alarms.......................I have so many 8080's and all the goodies it isn't even funny [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]

 

Oh....................................and ****..............there is tons of cheap **** on ebay

 

Speaking of sniping...I once sniped my buddy from Montreal. I had no idea it was him...but he sure knew my username. Had a good laugh about 30 seconds after the auction was over and I got the nasty and quite threatening email.

 

Been there done that, didn't know for days after about it [img]smile.gif[/img]

 

Want the brain for an Alpine 8121?

Nah, I am a 8080/8126 [img]smile.gif[/img]

 

It works pretty cool - has a "clock correction" feature where you click a "synchronize" button and it resets your computer clock to EBay time. It doesn't get it from the EBay server, but it is accurate to about 1/4 second.

Then you enter the time of the end of the auction and it sits "always on top" in a little window counting down. Get the bid all lined up to the confirm page, the hit "confirm" when the timer hits 5 seconds (or whatever your pain threshold can take). Works every time!

If you want it, send me you e-mail addy and it's yours...

After being "sniped" twice on two items, I became a sniper myself. I've been pretty successful since then.

Although there have been a few times when I was joined by another sniper who would bid a second before I clicked "submit" and entered the same bid as I did, so I was beat before my bid got in. Since then, I've learned to bid at least $5 over the last bid to be sure I'll be the top sniper.

 

USPS (United States Postal Service) or anything but UPS....................

Once it hits Canada it is serviced through Canada post, down side is the tracking stops once it hits Canada most of the time.

I have a place across the border called Ship Happens that I send most stuff to (Dukk uses it too) it is cheap, no monthly fee's and you don't get raped by UPS coming across the border. I have bought stuff for cheap and the UPS "A$$" fees are double the price of the item I bought. </font>[/QUOTE]I use Hagen's down in Blaine, costs next to nothing, they will hold it for a few weeks, and you can see the border, it is so close.

Look into Ship Happens, they are in Sumas, but you can leave it there as long as you want, only $3 a package.........
