Cool! But has the payment cleared yet?

ChadTower:


Make damn sure to either only accept a certified form of payment or to use every delivery tracking/confirmation available.  I would be very wary of someone bidding that much trying to do a credit card chargeback or paypal fraud report.

Exactly why I wouldn't sell (or buy) one on ebay. You are just setting yourself up to be scammed.

also, I stopped by another Wal-mart yesterday, and there were a bunch of older ladies in line. Two ladies were easily 70 years old! The first two people in line looked to be 40 year old women. Near the end of the line was another that was knitting to pass the time. That was some funny ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---!

I wish I had a grandma that would sit in line for 3 days to get me a ps3. Those are some lucky kids.

If you accept only the right forms of payment and only ship with all tracking mechanisms in place, there can only be two results:

1)  You get your money safely.

2)  You get a nonpaying bidder.

Either way, you can't get scammed.  You can miss your profit window, though, if the bidder strings you out long enough.

The day after thanksgiving is black friday, which is the biggest shopping day of the year in America (everyones shopping for christmas presents).  Stores then started having huge sales on black friday, often with a few deals so great that people wait sometimes camp out over night to get it.

Reading all this stuff about Boxing Day on that wiki makes me want to shout that out and punch my brother in the face the day after Christmas. Could become a yearly thing too.
