Hate it. Imho, every auction should be 5 days or less.

Josh - Completely agree :evil: I have accepted an offer, and sold every item I've ever had up for BIN.
Yet there are cards that I know have been listed since March of 2008, that I am the only one to have offered on, and still they sit unsold.

There's one I'm watching and I shouldn't, it's killing me. I can't consciously bid on it at all. If Kodak would get off theirs asses and decide one way or the other that would be great. There's nothing like have your whole life put on hold.

Good morning fellas!

Can't wait for the Sox tonight.
Escaping work to play golf today around 11 so that makes for a short work day.
Nice night in front of the tube with the Bruins and then the Sox.
How many cups of coffee will I need tomorrow???

Hey Keith, have fun on the links today.....my sports day begins this PM with oldest two sons high school soccer game. Season is winding down :cry: and they likely will not make the state tourney. It's been a blast watching them (freshman and senior) play together. Only sport and season any of my 3 boys will be teammates.

Scott-

Thanks, I will try and keep them straight!
Soccer season is already windinig down? That's too bad that they won't make the tourney.
Is your oldest going to college? Is he going to play in college?
Are all 3 of your boys athletes?
That must be awesome and so rewarding.

...yes, straight is good!!

Regular soccer season is over within a couple of weeks. There is some hope that they could make the tourney but need a big win (or tie) today. They lost too many 1 goal games early. My oldest would not play in college, while the freshman might look to try to do so. All 3 are very active year-around so we are always going to games (or I am coaching at the youth level). It is a BLAST!!

I dislike the 10 day auctions as well...I don't mind the 10 day buy it now/best offer, but as an auction I feel they should be no longer than 7 days. I agree with Charlie that 5 days seems about perfect...I'm on the opposite side of George and tend to forget when to check my bids until its too late ::facepalm:: :lol:

Indy - "Who's your Santa!!!" (say it like "Who's your daddy") :lol:

Better hope Wossa is your secret santa

:lol:
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: And that would be awesome.
Seriously though, that card is a perfect example of what we're talking about.
Realistically, it's prolly what, an $800-1000 card, maybe?

morning everyone.

the Pens lost to the Coyotes 3-0. they didn't play a very good game and didn't look like they cared. I know it's only the 3rd game of the season but it was embarrassing.

I did get a good pic of the Stanley Cup Championship banner because it is right above my seat :D ...

it's going to be a great sports night on tv tonight. Pens @ Flyers at 7 and then Sox @ Angels at 9:37. I think Lester will dominate tonight and the Sox win 4-1.

Few random responses to some posts:

"Wabbit Season!"

Quote reference is not only from That Seventies Show, but also, kinda from that classic "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" (Gene Wilder screaming at Charlie and Grandpa Joe)

I prefer bidding on auctions that I have found with only about ten minutes left. Only ten minutes of agony, instead of days and days.

Finally, morning to everyone; have a good day, whatever is going on and......


GO ANGELS!!!
