I bought a phone call from a guy impersonating a dead fish on ebay a while back for around $20. I think it was a steal! ------------------ My dream job is to be a Houston Rockets towel boy.
I just bought a funky old promo poster for a Buddy Ace zydeco gig in Opalousas, Louisiana back in 1988. At the bottom of the poster, in big block letters, it says: THIS IS A B.Y.O.B. AFFAIR NO ICECHESTS PLEASE! It cost me a whopping nine bucks. It'll look funky cool framed and hanging in the kitchen of my new house! ------------------ "Blues is a Healer" --John Lee Hooker
hehe. Thanks for the $20 bud. I still think that was one of the more hilarious things ever on eBay. ------------------ "So you say you want some intelligent responses? I say give me something intelligent to respond to." -- Dimwits beware, B-Ball freak tells it like it is. Sing it bro!
Woohoo!! I just made $52 MWUHAHAHAHA . . . I am the king of profit ------------------ "Up and down, inside out, outside in, some you lose some you win" -- DMB -> "Sweet Up and Down"
Vengeance: what did you sell? I'm sort of like Dr. Of Dunk... just vaguely uncomfortable with buying stuff at on-line auctions for some reason.. the lack of a contract scares me, I guess. I know that almost everyone has good luck with it... but I'm afraid of being that one, or something. Perhaps I'm worried about all the bad karma I've been wracking up . ------------------ I would believe only in a God who could dance. - Friedrich Nietzsche Boston College - NCAA Hockey National Champions 2001
I usually buy 50's lamps made from old cactus type wood, with these great old western scenes on the lamp shades. I love nostalgic cactus postcards from the 50's and earlier. I've also sold a few plants (Agaves) and crap I buy thrift shopping for a tiny profit...for a 99 cent burger or something. ------------------ Whatever you want to do, you have to do something else first.
I have bought a handful of stuff on Ebay. I have bought 3 rockets posters as well as a bunch of little rockets stuff. The best deal I got was spending $56 bucks on a Dallas Stars Bret Hull jersey brand new which I see in the stores for over $100. My best sale was a Carolina Hurricanes Pin I got at opening night for free and then I sold two of them for over $80 to an NHL pin collector in Europe. ------------------ ~John~ Help keep the obsessed thread alive post the reasons why you are an obsessed Rockets fan by clicking here
I bought a vintage QUIET RIOT "Metal Health" baseball tee-shirt on there. Cool as hell. It doesn't fit me though, too small. I still plan on wearing it sometime, though.
Oh yea and I just picked up a rockets wall clock (kind of tacky but will fit in perfectly in my living room) for $15 bucks. ------------------ ~John~ Help keep the obsessed thread alive post the reasons why you are an obsessed Rockets fan by clicking here
I sold a computer game called "System Shock". It was really, really amazing when it came out, but it didn't sell well. Now, it's almost impossible to find, and I go around town to used software stores and Half-Price Books to look for them. I've done fairly well with them. Usually, I pay from $3 to $10 per copy, and sell them for $30 to $75. It was/still is an awesome game, and people want to play it. Who am I to meddle with Supply and Demand? ------------------ "Up and down, inside out, outside in, some you lose some you win" -- DMB -> "Sweet Up and Down"
other things I've bought on eBay... 41 lot of Rockets trading cards 200 lot of Rockets trading cards 2 - 5 lot of Francis trading cards 9 lot of Hakeem trading cards 9 lot of Barkely trading cards 1 pair unused Rockets Tickets from the "Summit" days '94-'95... and the grand finale...this one's really cool! These guys are going atop my monitor!! 5 poseable Rockets action figures from 96-97 (dream, chuck, willis, elie and drexler) aw yeah...... rH
I had some of those! I did the same thing -- taped them to the top of the monitor. Unfortunately, they fell over, and stuff, and they're scattered throughout boxes now, but they're neat. I think it's the drexler one that doesn't stand up well, but Willis does. ------------------ "Up and down, inside out, outside in, some you lose some you win" -- DMB -> "Sweet Up and Down"
TheFreak, Dude, I laughed my arse off after reading that final sentence.... I just got this image of some dude wearing a small T-shirt and I cracked up for some reason. I think it has to do with my memory of when my friend from Greece sent me a T-shirt from Greece with some little scene on the front. I knew it was small, but when I tried it on, I thought I looked like a Greek Male w****.... whew, funny stuff. ------------------ DREAMer's Rocket Page
Freak, I can't figure it out. Are you Beavis, or are you Butthead???? ------------------ "Blues is a Healer" --John Lee Hooker
I just purchased a miami dolphin helmet signed by dan marino for $132.50.......I had previously bought one @ field of dreams for $450.00 It was my first purchase on e-bay, I hope it goes smoothly, the seller had over 1000 "positive" responses from previous buyers ------------------
I just want a piece of the summit floor back when they sold the pieces. I looked all over ebay and came up empty. Anyoneknow where I can find one? email me at clutchcity34@aol.com ------------------ Don't EVER underestimate the Heart of a CHAMPION!
