    ebay bidding question

    I've been doing ebay for over 10 years, and thought I knew the way it all worked. Tonight, I checked in on an item that I have been watching, and found something unusual in the bidding. Bid was up to 3,000, and the bid increment was $50. I checked the bid history, just because. Kind of...

    Ain't she ugly ?

    http://stcloud.craigslist.org/boa/2847743879.html Aside from the gas guzzling, the ITCHING, the letters OMC, the 350 mile drive to go look at her, and the wonderful colors, what do you think? Ugly enough to almost be cute.

    Getting the itch to see the Packers.

    Really want to go see the Packers/Lions on New Years day. Can't seem to pull the trigger on tickets. Hard to decide, another boat, or a pair of tickets? Cheap seats are $200. Decent seats are $250. Really nice seats are $335 - $700. There's always the ebay, never a sure thing on winning or the...

    Buying a boat just to rip it apart ! ?? Options ??

    Got myself into a bad position. Bought a boat thats needs a little work, and an outdrive for the 40 year old 120 hp MC-1. Not sure if I should do this, or look for a newer powerplant complete with drive. If I go with new power, which seems very expensive, one option looks to be buying a newer...
