Ebay

Well, you live and you learn. This week I put an item on eBay. Nothing too special, just an old 100MB switch. I was expecting to get 5 bucks for it, on top of shipping. I put shipping at 7 bucks. No bids for most of the week. Looks like somebody sniped it at the very last second for 1 cent. Now I'm just hoping that I can get it shipped for 7 bucks.

• Life Lesson 1: Always set a reserve price if you're not willing to part with something for less than a certain number.
• Life Lesson 2: Always make sure that you set the shipping price for an item to something that will at least cover your expenses to send the item.
• Life Lesson 3: Your crap isn't worth as much as you think it is.....

This has been a fairly good week as far as weight goes. At least it was until today. Sundays are typically my most difficult days. I think this is because, for the most part, we always go over to either my parent's or my wife's parents for dinner. I also have a hard time not snacking throughout the day when there's some wonderful Football to be watched.

My Fantasy team is doing extremely well. 3-0 so far this year, and looking to secure another win this week against my niece from Las Vegas. Barring a spectacular performance on Monday by Donavan McNabb, I should be golden.
