T-BONE

An American tourist in London decides to skip his tour group & explore the city on his own. He wanders around, seeing the sights, & occasionally stopping at a quaint pub to soak up the local culture, chat with the lads, & have a pint of Guinness. After a while, he finds himself in a very high class neighborhood.....big, stately residences...no pubs, no stores, no restaurants, & worst of all...NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS. He really, really has to go, after all those Guinness beers. He finds a narrow side street, with high walls surrounding the adjacent buildings & decides to use the wall to solve his problem. As he is unzipping, he is tapped on the shoulder by a London Bobbie, who says, "I say, sir, you simply cannot do that here, you know." "I'm very sorry, officer," replies the American, "but I really, really HAVE TO GO, & I just can't find a public restroom." "Ah, yes," said the Bobbie..."Just follow me". He leads him to a back delivery alley, then along a wall to a gate, which he opens. "In there," points the Bobbie. "Whiz away, anywhere you want." The fellow enters and finds himself in the most beautiful garden he has ever seen...manicured grass lawns, statuary, fountains, sculptured hedges, & huge beds of gorgeous flowers, all in perfect bloom. Since he has the cop's blessing, he unburdens himself & is greatly relieved. As he goes back through the gate, he says to the Bobbie "That was really decent of you. Is that what you call "British hospitality?" "No" replied the Bobbie, with a satisfied smile on his face, "that is what we call the French Embassy."

Dinner At The Girlfriend's Home: Prom Night was coming up, and a girl announced to her boyfriend that she wanted to make it special and take a hotel room for the night. Being the responsible type, the boy went to the Pharmacy to purchase protection. The pharmacist was very helpful and guided the boy for about an hour and told him everything there was to know. The boy came early to pick his girlfriend, and her Mother invited him to join them for dinner. When they sat down, the boy, looking to impress her parents, offered to say grace then bowed his head. A minute passed, and the boy was still deep in prayer…5 minutes passed, and still no movement from the boy. Finally, after 10 minutes with his head down, the girlfriend leaned over and whispers to the boyfriend, "I had no idea you were so religious." The boy turns, and whispers back, "I had no idea your father was a pharmacist."

The football coach noticed that his star tackle, Bubba had so many women hanging around that he couldn't possibly handle all of them. So one day he asked Bubba, "Just what the hell is your secret?" Bubba replies, "Well, Coach, whenever I'm about to have sex, I always whip it out and bang it on the dresser like a hammer. That numbs it and I can screw 'em forever!" The coach went home early one day and went to the bedroom. He heard his wife in the shower. Seeing a window of opportunity, he tore off his clothes and started banging it on the dresser. His wife stuck her head out of the shower and said, "That you Bubba?"

Well...people try to slip by on postage rates sometimes and on top of that, alot of sellers will only ship to a confirmed address. He was just being cautious.

Well..."waiting" for an auction to end that starts at .99 cents and "hoping" that you won't get sniped is a different ballgame than just buying it right then and there Sam. If there's a cd out there that I can Buy It Now on for $10 and then another auction for $3 and still running for 6 days, I'll grab the Buy It Now because then I won't have to sit here and babysit the computer until I win, or worse yet, wait for 6 more days to get it. Sure you pay a little more for the convienience, but sometimes it's worth it. If I'm in no big hurry, I'll throw out bids on regular auctions, but I tend to go for the Buy It Now's if they're truly reasonable

Congratz on the new store and best of luck PJ and Koogles.

Well, I can see where he felt compelled to do it, but on the other hand, I can see why maybe he could have worked something else out with you. I'll just tell you to be more careful in the future and watch for that. I got stuck in the situation once as well, but found a way to get him the money for the cd. It took a little longer, but he was understanding. I had a guy I bought from in Europe and sent him the PayPal to get the other seller his money for my cd. Kind of like Captain Howdy told you. It took a little longer, but I had bought from the guy many times and I trusted him. I also bought 4 more cd's from him for his troubles

I just got the shipping notice that my cd is on it's way. Wouldn't you know that it's coming from "Russia" EVIDENCE ONE * Criticize The Truth * 2002 cd new Please allow 12-15 business* days for the product delivery. Ship from Russia.(Moscow) It's been a pleasure doing business with you,

Peter, do a search and look for Mothermetal. I know we had a big ordeal here about that site about a year or so ago

Hahahaha I just won a cd from Antan7 and I never even realized it. It's nothing big or worth bitching about. Evidence One - Criticize The Truth. He's had very good communication so far, so I won't complain I was just reading the above posts and saw the name and couldn't figure out where I had just seen it 15 minutes ago Brainfart!

I will agree that $2.50 for shipping is one of the lowest on ebay considering that I've also paid $7 for shipping once. Most on eBay charge the standard $3.50-4.00 and any extra's after that is a dollar. They're still making a little money in shipping, but I don't mind until the shipping price gets above $4 for one cd. Then that a little out of hand. So...indeed $2.50 is very reasonable. Brett Harling charges that amount as well to ship cd's and he does alot of business. Most of the time I recieve my cd within a day from him. I've won cd's from people who are just as close as him to me and they charge the $4 for shipping and it sometimes takes over a week. I think the longest VegasMetal ever took to get a cd to my mailbox was 4-5 days, but that's great compared to places like MetalMayhem, or some of the other big sellers. Daves Metal took an average of 2 weeks or more, if ever.

As far as I'm concerned, eBay should take special care into looking into events such as these and when deemed necessary, the right person gets the negative feedback, while the person who got screwed or almost screwed would get no feedback from that person

Actually, you can report him to the eBay Safeharbor team as it's against the rules to try and circumvent the eBay fee's. He's making up for the low cd price in his shipping costs. Ebay only charges their fee on the final price of the item sold and not the shipping. In essesence, he's jipping eBay as well. The seller is responsible for determining the shipping and handling charges on listings, and eBay encourages sellers to clearly describe the item and terms of shipping and delivery in their listings to avoid possible confusion. Before bidding on an auction or buying in a fixed-price listing, bidders/buyers should contact the seller about any questions they might still have that are not directly answered in the item's description. Sellers may charge reasonable shipping and handling fee to the final price of their item, providing that this fee is disclosed up front in the listing. A shipping and handling fee can cover the seller's reasonable costs for mailing, packaging and handling the item. Shipping and handling fees cannot be listed as a percentage of the final sale price. When a bid is placed, the bidder is entering into an agreement with the seller to purchase the item, which most often means incurring shipping charges that may also include handling fees. In the case of disagreements between buyers and sellers regarding shipping charges, eBay encourages the parties to try to work the matter out. Usually these situations can be amicably resolved.

You may not know that many nonliving things have a gender; For example... 1) Ziploc Bags -- They are Male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them. 2) Copiers -- They are Female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm them up again. It's an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed. 3) Tire -- Male, because it goes bald and it's often over-inflated. 4) Hot Air Balloon -- Male, because, to get it to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under it, and of course, there's the hot air part. 5) Sponges -- Female, because they're soft, squeezable and retain water. 6) Web Page -- Female, because it's always getting hit on. 7) Subway -- Male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up. 8) Hourglass -- Female, because over time, the weight shifts to the bottom. 9) Hammer -- Male, because it hasn't changed much over the last 5,000 years, but it's handy to have around. 10) Remote Control -- Female...... Ha! You thought it'd be male. But consider this -- it gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know the right buttons to push, he keeps trying.
