This is a growing trend. Along with other questionably legal items, you can find a card reader from Ebay for a fraction of what you can scam.

What ever happened to "Stick 'em up??"

Why not use an Illudium Q36 Explosive Space Modulator?

Are you Corn Fed?

Once a really great tool goes "commercial" it's all downhill from there. One of the main reason I switched to Google back in the day wasn't because it was fast and accurate (which was great) but because it had such a clean interface. Now there are sponsered links that clutter things up. And who knows when/if popups will be a necessary evil to "stay in business".

Deep inside KDE sounds very TRONish. I was hoping for a detailed look at Master Control Program. Oh well, the article must have been posted by a NULL unit.

A quick search on ebay shows that authentic bills are worth quite a bit with most selling for over $20, so yes, collectors do apparently want them.

People borrow pens without returning them all the time. I don't wnat someone to fo' shizm my P-ISM.

I doesn't take an Einstein... oh wait. Nevermind.

Try here for the bot and here for the arm.

Yes price fixing is bad, but I don't remember ever feeling like I overpaid for a CD or that a CD was too expensive.

...when you can get a fast single layer one for cheap right now. Then when dual layer comes out just sell it.

Google also allows you to do a lookup on a UPC code.. (it actually uses the database from www.upcdatabase.com)

works great if you have one of those modified cue cats

Just like the Colon-Cat Company, let them burn through their cash giving away this garbage for free, then pick 'em up by the bushel in about 18 months.

G00D KERNEL MAKING PERS0NS SH0ULD HAVE A NICE TIE

You may be right...

One is on eBay currently (not my auction), just for your information:

The best part of this amusing if lame article, is without a doubt the Mountain Dew eBay link.

If anyone else was wondering what VeRO was all about, here's eBay's page on it:

GOOD W0RK HACKER PERS0N, HAVE A TIE

I would like to congratulate the space people who made this amazing discover with a tie!

SOMEONE SHOULD BUY YOU A TIE

CONGRATULATIONS SPACE PEOPLE

Apparently, on ebay!

Here's the old link to the auction -- dead now.

Wow look at this (I'm the parent poster): Ebay auction

Don't know anything about that, but there are people offering Ragnarok Online items. (I played Ragnarok when it was in the testing stages. I got out once they started charging.) And this is just the same thing, people shifting items and stuff on Ragnarok servers.

I particularly like this auction, where the guy states "By viewing this auction, you verify that you are not an employee, affiliate, or of family member of Gravity Corp." Like that's legally binding.

Why not? You can get ICQ numbers.

I'm not sure this is a big surprise. I think that if you don't own the number, then it would be fraud to try to sell it. Here is ebay's user agreement. Maybe some people think this a grey area, but refer to the first posters comment, portability not ownership. I'd rather not bid on items that the seller doesn't own. If people started selling stuff that they had no claim over, no one would trust ebay. Trust seems like a big part of their business. Now if the new laws were tested in court and somehow ruled that I own my cellphone number...well that would be a different story.

Maybe you should check out Ebay from some scruples. You need some.

But yesterday your phone number was up for auction on Ebay.
Unfortunately they have dropped your auction. What's up with that man? Change your mind? It was up to $60K! Are you insane?

I still use one of these.

lightweight, detachable keyboard, on-screen drawing and excellent writing recognition, wi-fi, one month of battery life, 100 bucks. you may fall in love.

The older clamshell CE Devices such as the Sharp Mobilon Tripad might be more of what you need.

They are cheap, so when they fall and break, get lost our stolen you aren't out major money. The Tripad can be had on eBay for under $200. The batteries last forever since there are no spindle. I got around 8-10 hours of use out of my Tripad when I had it. They have the touchscreens that allow you to scribble notes and diagrams

Now they aren't full fledged computers and you won't be playing Halo, GTA3, Wolf ET (insert you favorite game here) or storing much on them, but with the money you saved compared to getting a tabled PC you can get a pretty nice desktop system to do all of that on.

IBM brought out an incredible machine a few years back that has a bit of a cult following. Review
Best of all it can digitise whatever is drawn on the A4/8.5" x 11" pad too!
It's 10.4" screen may seem small nowadays, but it has a keyboard underneath, so you can use it as laptop, tablet or writing pad.
...and it runs XP Tablet Edition if you have a MSDN subscription handy.

I go to the University of Wisconsin Madison, and I would advise you not to bother. Very rarely is a Tablet PC a useful accessory. I have a Dell Inspiron, and sometimes I wish I had a regular desktop PC. Fact is, you can't carry around a laptop/tablet; it gets bumped, scratched, etc in the bustle of the college world. I leave my laptop on my desk much of the time; the only time it leaves there is when I go home for the weekend or go on Student Council trips.

If your heart is really set on a tablet pc, I would advise you to grab an older generation tablet pc from ebay (like this). Or, see if you can salvage one from local companies or relatives.

If you're going to Madison, Wisconsin, contact me so you can get a students' view of things.

Pretty cool, you will need this United States Air Force underground facility located in Central Washington State to have as your home.

The high bidder now apparently sells juggling clubs for $20 a pop. He can't possibly be serious. The guy who was high bidder this morning at least had among his past purchases a pilot's carry-on bag, a wooden model of a twin engine Cessna, and some sort of "pilot training on CD" software.

No, I missed that, but saw this other one

2 million feet of fiber for $4 mil?

I have to wonder what this fellow is into that is the current high bidder.

According to his feedback he purchased a 19" roulette wheel, later 2 microsoft t-shirts, a microsoft training guide, then microsoft small business server, and finally a 1979 Porche. He's now bidding on a 1-million dollar aircraft.

It just makes me wonder what this fellow is up to... and if I should be doing it too!

So I wonder why it's listed in Consumer Electronics > Radios: CB, Ham & Shortwave > Ham Radio > Accessories > Antennas?

Shouldn't it be in Home > All Categories > Toys & Hobbies > Models, Kits > Air ?

Perhaps they were worried that those ebayers would place bids for 100,000 of This

Did you see the other thing Landa was selling? I'm sure some fool would pay ten million dollars for this for advertising maybe, but I bet it'd make a nice target for the F18.

It's fascinating to see what the current bidder (fashionpillows) has purchased from eBay in the recent past. Between the Porsche, copies of Microsoft software and Microsoft t-shirts, he seems to have a penchant for buying expensive toys (and Microsoft wares).

Anyone else notice the other auctions from this company? Just think of what you can do with 104 miles of fiber.

What a bargain!. I guess it pays to buy in bulk.

Here's old ad

Did some googling couple weeks ago when it came up on ebay for first time and found photos of same plane while disassembled and under restoration. Didn't find URL, but shouldn't be that hard. Just follow links from official Blue Angel's web page to list of decomissioned planes. It was somewhere over there.
