Well first congrats on the win.

And secondly .. on eBay ANYONE will buy ANYTHING .. have no fears LOL

Believe me .. I spend about 5 hours a day on eBay doin a bit of investigation work. The most rediculous thing I've seen thus far is someone selling vintage airline coasters

airline coasters ? ? ohk, i knew some people had some weird-ass fetishes, but airline coasters? riiiiigggghhhtttt...

well, i mean i've sold sh!t on e-bay before too: last year I won a 2.8GHz CPU right when they came out, sold it to some guy (with a motherboard, hehah) in Norway for like $575 when the wholesale price was like $640, he was happy, and i made money out of thin air so to speak. Anyways, checked e-bay witha worldwide search, and there's only 2 listings, both commercial, for the CPU I've got, hence my lack of confidence. But we'll see, there's another reseller that wanted it, and I'm gonna call him on Monday and see whats up... thing is, if I pull it off good, I can maybe get some contractual work with him as he needs help on AMD based systems (my fav), since he's (up till now) only dealt with intel systems... and check this - they gross $1.2 Million (CAD) in <b>software alone</b> per month... so yeah, i'm crossin my fingers.
