Don’t count your eggs!
As the old saying goes, “Don’t count your eggs before they hatch.” The process of buying a house has been a very long and in depth process. I lost count of how many time our lender has told me, “Hey, Steve you’re all good to go.” Then the very next day, call and ask me for additional documentation on something or ask me several questions containing to something that happened seven years ago. Then today I find out that our closing is on the 30th of this month and not the 31st. Not that this is a bad thing. So the moral of this post, don’t assume anything until you have it in your hands. Once we have the keys to the new house in our hands we will be happy, but until then…. anything can change.
Wireless Blogging
So I’m sitting outside of Renaissance Theatre blogging from my car with the new Verizon wireless broadband adapter and I love it. They promised broadband like speeds and so far it’s lived up to the hype. I have been surfing blogs and posting on mine without any problems thus far. I have yet to get my Blackberry bluetooth modem to work yet but the adapter card works great.
Busy
I couldn’t think of a better title than “Busy”. That is the best word to describe my life at this moment. We are still in the process of packing the house for the move next week. I am also in the middle of another play. We are doing Macbeth and I am doing sound and lights for this show. This week has been tech week so I work all day and right after work head over to the theatre then head home for some sleep. I wake up and do it all over again. No, I’m not complaining I’m just letting everyone know why I haven’t updated as much lately. No, the blog is not going to die again like to last twenty or so blogs have done. I’m just busy and haven’t had as much time to spend blogging as I would like. Check back later today for more updates.
Buy It Now
Ebay defines “Buy It Now” as:
Buy It Now is the simplest way to buy on eBay. It allows you to buy an item when you want it, at a known set price.
If you are a guest, you can use Buy It Now, but you are limited to two guest eligible purchases.
When you see the icon next to a listing, or see a Buy It Now price listed on an item page, the seller gives you the opportunity to purchase the item right away without waiting for an online auction to end.
So why would someone click “Buy It Now” if they had no intention on buying it now? I listed my motorcycle on Ebay yesterday and later in the evening I got an email from Ebay stating that someone bought it. I contacted the guy via email and heard nothing. I then called him and he seem somewhat stoned. Later this evening I received a call from his wife stating that he was not getting the bike and I was not getting a single cent of her money. Then why the hell did you click, “Buy It Now”? Now I get to relist the bike and hope to get my money back from the previous listing.
