I'm sorry, but I just can't take it any longer.

I have run into so many people that think that eBay is the only place to buy 914-related items. Over and over again, I see people grossly overpaying for items that are readily available from others sources for much less.

Case in point, Jack Hole Plugs. I can buy these things all day long for $1.86 each. The two geniuses bidding on these have got them to over $11 for a pair. Plus, they are going to pay over $4 in shipping and handling, plus a .60 delivery confirmation fee (WTF is that?)

This makes me want to contact the bidders and tell them that they are being stupid. Or, makes me want to start selling Jack Hole Plugs on eBay.

That's funny.

Yesterday Mary was Rain'xing the windshield on the race car with a paper towel. I had to explain that a 3" square piece of towel was much better as far less Rain-x would be required. Then the rest of the paper towel could be used to buff it out, thereby saving paper as well.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) The girl nearby saw Mary with the tiny piece of paper rubbing the windshield and had to ask what that was all about. She compared it to when she applies astringent to her face, lol. I had to give her the entire explanation again, much to Mary's delight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
