Hm. Go figure.
Of course, I'm still looking at AIBOs online. So, now I'm getting e-mails from a guy that wants to sell me a 220 for $1,000.
I replied, telling him that 1. I don't have that much money for that, and 2. That I prefer to go through the "legal" channels of eBay. (It reads right on the e-mail he sent me that selling through this method violates eBay's policies.)
He replies saying "give me a price, maybe we can work something out".
I completely forgot that he's probably talking $1,000 US, which is roughly $1,600 Canadian. :\ The most I was wanting to pay, these days, was maybe $200-$400. Canadian. (Yeah, right. Go, me.)
I go and check out his feedback. Of course, I wasn't sure if this guy really was who he said he was, but when I checked the eBay e-mail it mentioned his username (which was correct). For all I know, he could be faking the e-mail.
Turns out the guy's got great feedback.
On buying stamps. For like, $5 each.
And those goddamn stupid "Iraq Playing Cards".
And all of a sudden he's selling a $2,500US AIBO for $1,000?
I have a good mind to turn the e-mail over to eBay for violating the rule of selling outside of eBay. But first, I'll just make him look stupid and ask him a couple of questions about the AIBO. Things like, are all the extraneous limbs (ears, tail) still functional? (the 220 has neither of these.) Any scratches? What's the serial number? (that one apparently gives them away almost immediately).
In other news, I like this new World Youth Day 2005 logo.
And in other other news, the new Harry Potter book is out. I forgot completely. :\ Ah well, I wasn't quite asleep at midnight anyways. And I might just wait for everyone else to zoom through it, gossip about it, and then lend it to me XD
