Sometimes life gives you a chuckle when you need it.
« on: May 15, 2015, 03:01:31 pm »
I haven't had a particularly good day to day.  When I have a bad day, I sometimes buy myself something.  So I get this email from dealnews.com about a 4 dollar "speedometer" watch being sold through ebay.  Cool!  Even if it turns out to be crap I'm only out 4 bucks.  So I buy it and an hour later I get this email.  Pretty standard seller email until I see the address:

Seller
1111
service@catsuits-latex.com

So this month there will very likely be a bill from "service@catsuits-latex.com" on my credit card statement for 4 dollars.  Sometimes it's the little things in life.   ;D 

I can only imagine the reaction from the credit card company's fraud prevention dept.... "Hey the guy that normally buys arcade parts and electronics just bought something from the s&m shop.  Should we flag it?  How much was it?  4 bucks.  What can you buy from a s&m shop for 4 bucks?.... Nevermind I don't want to know."

I'm super curious now about what you'll actually get.  Inquiring minds want to know!

Well it's supposed to be this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/251917966815?var=550797222140&rmvSB=true

I got the black one.  I'm normally not too keen on novelty watches, but I liked how the hour was one dial and the minutes were another with light-up numbers and such.

Now that I know where I got it from, I'm thinking of wiping the thing in rubbing alcohol before I try it on.

Looks like they're affiliated with Deal Xtreme or at least pretending to be.  That company does quite the vibrator business.

Yeah every weird company seems to be affiliated with DX.  My theory, DX.com is actually the government-funded, people's democratic eBay of China.  In other words DX.com IS China.  ;)
