eBay Inbox, volume Winter of '10

I wanted to unload some gear and build on some feedback for my secondary eBay account for unforeseen reasons, so here is another volume of what's inside my eBay inbox.

***
Dear twpwarrior,
Do you know if this is the kind of jacket that can be zipped into the snowboarding shells? I bought a shell on eBay not knowing that it wasn't insulated and I'm not sure what is supposed to be used with it. It doesn't really seem like a fleece and the shell would keep me very warm on the slopes...? Thanks for any advice..Tanya
- teadkin

Dear twpwarrior,
I have to say that I love your taste in clothes!! You either live in Atlanta or went to Georgia Tech? I call Atlanta home, if you are from there, do you know Moores Mill Road? That is where my husband and I lived after our first child..we happen to have four teenage boys and three of them are 32x30, so I will definitely come back later tonight and bid on some more of your items. One more thing..I lived in Atlanta for years (nurse next to West Paces Hospital) but only went to the Varsity once! Is it still there? If you don't live in Atlanta or never did...disregard all of the above? I was just a huge braves fan, was there when they won the bid for the Olympics and had my first son there, so it was a great place to live while I was there! In regards to the jacket, is it very thick? I wish I hadn't bought the H.H. shell, then I could bid on your Columbia jacket! Tanya
- teadkin

OMG I know no one really needs a blog, but Tanya has a lot to say! I kinda feel sorry for her hubby. She must chew his ear out everyday. I imagine her voice being really loud too.  I like how she was able to incorporate her whole life story through a simple question about a Helly Hansen fleece.  With all the info she provided I probably could stalk her if I wanted to haha.  But I do appreciate she loves reegsta's taste in clothes circa 2006-2008.  Wait until she sees me now!

***
Dear twpwarrior,
 I don't know how but my bid was 15.52 for some reason it shows 1,552.00 there's no way I'd pay that for a shirt. Sorry!
- fireman2155

Maybe buddy because you forgot to hit the decimal point. It was an awesome polo shirt that you missed the boat on. Cheapskate. It was totes worth that bid original bid - uhhh it came from my closet!

***
Dear twpwarrior,
Please excuse me for winning your auction. I'm sorry but I was honestly mislead by way of your listing appearring after I believed I had filtered out all of the "used" shoes. I may understand the Jordans you're selling have been cleaned up and good to go, but I simply can't affored to play him in the shape he's in. They just won't fly while they're not brand spanking new. I know we both can pride ourselves on our records alone, please let me know how we can continue from here. Hope all is well, please excuse me, Happy holidays.
Sincerely,
Cohentrue
- conhentrue

I had to reread "can't affored to play him in the shape he's in" like 10 times. Cohentrue - are you aware this auction is for a pair of shoes and and not for Steve Francis [a washed-up former NBA player currently balling in China. Not Starbury of course.]  "They just won't fly while they're not brand spanking new" - it's not like they don't have wings anymore!  I only stated "shoes have been worn less than 5 times" [yes, reeg does have an odometer on his kicks.]  Damn those tricky eBay sellers =/.

***
Dear twpwarrior,

Sorry but I did a surge on what a b grade is and it's a shoe with damage, I know I was the only person that bid on them but I don't think is fare for me to pay that kind of money for this type of shoe. Sorry for the bid I put. Good luck

- miguel8272

LOL I did a "surge" - what did you power yourself up to attain enough power to Google that information? Hope you didn't electrocute yoruself Miguel.  It's not a shoe with damage, rather it's a pair with minor comestic flaws.  But yes, it's not 'fare', nor is it 'fair', but why do you think they were discounted in the first place duh?  Uhhh dislike deadbeats.

eBay Inbox, volume Summer of '09

Life is like a box of eBay emails, you never know what to expect. So here is another edition of my crazy bidders and their comments/questions/inquiries:

Dear reegsta,

i get paid on frii can u hold em till then

- 5719sarah

Dear reegsta,

it must have been a mix up i get paid this fri im sorry lol

- 5719sarah

Hey Sarah, it's not that funny. Show me the $$! It's been like 2 weeks since the auction ended. Grrrr.

Dear reegsta,

can u call me asap at 215 668 xxxx my name is brian cuz i wanna by the case only

- acura7885

Hey Mr. Integra, I'm not gonna call you ASAP just because you want an accessory! Sheesh.

Dear reegsta,

Hey i was wondering if you can do me a favour and cancel my bid if bidding get over $145 i do relize i put my maximum bid at 165 but I don't really want to pay that but if you decide you dont want to cancel my bid when it reaches $145 that is no problem to me i will still pay you what I owe you.

- markjk1441

Yo Mark, please use a period! and I read that like 5x and still am unsure what you're requesting. And you shouldn't tell the seller what your max bid is. *Shakes head*.

Dear reegsta,

Hey hows it going ? First id like to say you have some great J's and I was looking and you sell some straight up solid sneaks. The reason im emailing you is i am (or was) a collector for a few years and i have decided to sell whats left of my collection- I was hoping you could tell me have you been getting fair prices for your J's ? I am a size 12 so im not sure if thats a good selling size or not but I see you have much experience- Thanks David

- shipley954

Yo Shipley, I'm not auctioning off consultations. JP! I actually gave him a legit response. Game recognize game.

Dear reegsta,

Hi Good Morning Reegan,

Sorry for the late reply (again, lol) don't worry just been mad busy at the hospital, too much drama going on. But anyway, will e-mail you FULLY detailing everything including payment schedules etc later this week etc...

Thanks.

(Please don't think that just because I don't commuicate regularly, that we're OFF for the deal... it's not like that at all.... it's just that some weeks ARE real busy for me being a hospital warden on night shifts!)

Anyway, will touch down with you over the weekend again!

:o)
- nike-air-max-95_in_london

Dear reegsta,

I'll happily chuck-on an extra 100 buck so that you receive 400 dollars for the sneaks when I come to pay in about a month or two (well, actually, it'll be 450 including the shipping!).

What do you say? Are you down with that?

You ain't NEVER gonna get some-one paying you even 275 bucks, LET ALONE the crazy sky-high 450 i'm offering you. And that's ACTUALLY true.

It's the time dude... nothing else, just TIME.

It all depends on just how ''desperate'' you are for the cash, because if you can hold-on for until, say, August/Sept/Oct, then that's kool, i'll hit you up for the 450 via PayPal at that time in the future, but if you need the cash RIGHT NOW (and at the moment, I'm seriously out of a dime!) then you're gonna get people bidding for prices MUCH lower than even just 180/200 bucks which is pathetic given the rarity of these 1998 Desert Red's.

Are you ok to work with me on this please buddy?

Please let me know, thanks.

any questions?? ask away!!

:o)
- nike-air-max-95_in_london

Dear reegsta,

Yo Regan 'sup, thanks for your message a couple of days ago asking me to advise you on the payment situation for these 95's - sorry that it's taken me slightly longer than normal to respond back, ut I've been kinda busy and this is the one of the only chances today to actually just sit down for a sec to update you on what's goin' on...

To cut a long story short (I can FULLY explain my financial and personal circumstances in a seperate e-mail after this one if you REALLY want me to....?) I'm abit strapped for cash at the moment (what with the credit crunch and recession etc etc, it's hitting us very hard over here in London), so very politely ask you for a substantial payment time extension to come up with the money for these Desert Red's.

I mean, you know, when I say ''substantial'' i DO mean exactly that... kinda like, about a month or two.

Yeah,I know that might sound kinda crazy to you, but as s gesture of goodwill and as a kinda-like, you know, ''token of my appreciation''

- nike-air-max-95_in_london

Wow. This is probably the longest drawn out eBay message I've seen. I might feel sorry for your HS English teacher. Anyway he sounds legit and I'm giving him the benefit of a doubt, considering he has AIR-MAX-95 in his username and appreciates the rarity of the shoes he's bought. And if he's throwing on another c-note on there, then consider them reserved.

Dear reegsta,

hey there friend

i love those shoes.how much you want for them to buy them right now?i give you 126$

- blakkheim25

Lol the funny thing is the current bid was at $125. and he's offering a dollar more. wow hold the presses. and mentioning we're friends won't get you a discount!

Dear reegsta,

Yo! Whats up man... I purchased some kicks from you in the past. You have some sweet listings but a little close to the first for me. Do you plan to relist if they dont sell? Sorry to see a savvy collector out the game... I feel alone in my shoe game, all the old school is getting out.

- dauniqueone

Dear reegsta,

Hey Home skillet! I thought these sold? I was going to bid when I mailed you but did not want you waiting for a week to get paid! I am watching some items now I dont know what to do.

- dauniqueone

Oh man I think I'd prefer friend moreso than "home skillet". Now I'ma a frying pan…yay. See, these dudes keep searching for advice. I think this dude just needs a hug.

Dear reegsta,

Hey, why are so many of your shoes in 10.5 and where
do you ship from I would like to buy two pairs.

- neazy2

Oh Neazy I don't know…maybe because that's the size I wear?! That's like asking why does Polo only sell Polo clothes.

Dear reegsta,

Yah thanks that'll workout. shoot me your email address. Again Im sorry moneys a little tight right now.

- djes11_916

This dude bid $240 for some kicks but backed out. You should've never bid on them if you don't have the loot! It worked out though, since I actually sold them higher the 2nd time around.

Dear reegsta,

Please cal me about your set of Pings. I have a few questions but I am ver interestd in buying them. I am a very honest and outgoing person and look forward to your call thank you. Ross Blankenship

- rossb03569f1

I'm glad your outgoing Ross. But this isn't a match.com auction, it's an eBay one! And he low-balled me, so I eventually sold it to the highest bidder.

Dear reegsta,

Hello there Regan and hope all is well.

I already sent my payment. Kindly double box the shoes when you ship it out usps express mail. May I also request that it be declared as GIFT and valued at only $30 so I won't have to deal with exorbitant custom duties and taxes. I actually know the customs people in my city and since my uncle works as a customs police, they told me to have it declared that way so they won't have to charge me the taxes but only the minimum $20 tax.

Thanks a lot and looking forward to getting the tracking number. Have a nice day

- saviourfriendjesus

A guy with this username couldn't have been a fraud. He was based in the PI and I felt bad [for like 2 seconds] for selling a $300 pair of kicks over there. But how come every Filipino is connected to someone official? Like a mayor or in this case a post master.

Dear reegsta,

gibt es denn schuh auch in gr. 43,5 ?

- sweet_tlik_choclate

Ummmm yeah. I still don't know what that means.
.

Another Peep into my eBay Inbox

Man, and I thought I was particular with my threads! Check this one out:

Dear reegsta,

Hi there, sorry for the delay. I've just sent you my payment for the brand new Pac Man Tee via Paypal. I know you have quite a few of these tees, could you please pick the one with the PERFECT quality (no craftmanship defects, good quality print, and graphic is centered, not off the the side, etc.)? PLEASE!! My sincere apology for my pickyness. I really like this tee and want to have the PERFECT one. Thank you very very much for your kindness and sorry for the troubles. Much appreciated!!!

- 501boy

This is in reference to those Pacman shirts that I've been selling. Okay let me get this straight, homie is asking for the perfect mass-produced shirt that was made in China by some pre-teens. Does he want Manny's autograph too? Is he gonna take a measuring tape out and calculate how centered the logo is? Is he gonna test the pigmentation of the various colors? Does he not realize that it's just a screen-printed tee that probably cost $3 to make? If that? Shouldn't he just be happy the sleeves are the same length and the words are spelled correctly? It's not like he bought an Armani piece and is getting an Alfani item instead. But I'll appease him, and give him the shirt that has the gold star next to the "inspected by" sticker hahaha.

Go Pacman!

Here is another curious email I received:

Dear reegsta,

what's up? a friend of mine is doing a blog on bo's and he wanted a couple of pics and pple to talk about their love for his kicks. you came to mind when he asked me if I knew any other bo jackson fans. if your down you can contact him at sneakraddict@gmail.com

- bknowbles

I was like "how do you know I'ma Bo fan?" when I am, but I don't really express it. He came back with:

Dear reegsta,

yeah i always watch different sellers items that ive saved and i see you have alot of heat specially bo's. great vintage by the way so if your interested hit him up at sneakraddicts@gmail.com his name is jaya. thanks

- bknowbles

Apparently what I sell impacts what people's perceptions are of me! Whew good thing I didn't get caught up selling used girl's panties or something, otherwise the Catch a Predator dude would've been on my tail! But anyway I should just forward my Ploomy passion piece about kicks and call it a day. I dunno though, each new time I read that I wish I wrote it differently. Oh well.
.

If They Had That Feature Then I'd Keep Them

So I took a lil hiatus from selling stuff on eBay, but then I realized I have a couple Burton snowboarding pants to get rid of. I was gonna keep a pair, but then I realized I wanted something funkier than solid black. Anyway, ever trip of how come a "pair of pants" is called that, when there is only one? It can't be because of the 2 legs, since shirts also are designed for multiple limbs. A "pair of scissors" too...hmmmm, I really wonder how this stuff came about!

Oh yeah, my bad for that tangent. As I have a pair currently on eBay, I received this question from a Norwegian:

Dear reegsta,

hi! i have two questions for you? how much do you take for shipping to norway? an does the pants have a microfiber buttwarmer?

- siljesjo

Hahaha I wish all my pants had microfiber buttwarmers. They would even be better if they were wicker-proof, kinda like premium athletic socks. Wouldn't that solve the swamp-a$$ problem some people have? But for real, I listed all the features of the pants and that wasn't one of them, so I don't know how common microfiber buttwarmers are. But best believe my next pair of snowboarding pants will have that!
.

Another Round of eBay Questions Answered

A few more eBay comments:

Dear reegsta,

Hello,
Will you accept 200.00 including shipping?Please let me know!Your money will be in your PP acct. immediately!

Thanks,Ben
- xxxbball

I'm like sure, please PayPal me right away. A couple days go by, and I haven't seen cash in my paypal account.

Dear reegsta,

Hello,
Will you accept 165.00 shipped,if so I can put the money in your PP acct. immediately!Please let me know!

Thank You,Ben
- xxxbball

Dude you just offered $200! Why am I going to sell them for this amount when you already offered more? Does this qualify as an Indian Giver?

Dear reegsta,

Hello,
This is my third time trying to contact you and your not responding or your not looking at your emails!I would like to buy your 10.5 XIXS' in Flint Grey and White for 170.00 shipped.You can set up a private auction or buy it now and I will respond immediately and you will have your money in your PP acct. instantly!

Thank You,
Ben
- xxxbball

Look you dumbtard, I said yes to your first offer but then you're lowballing.

Dear reegsta,

Hello,
I really want these shoes!How about 185.00 shipped?

- xxxbball

I said I'll let them go for $190. Truthfully I would take $185 but I'ma tax him $5 for being irritating. We'll see how this one plays out.

And now for the question of the week:

Dear reegsta,

Two Questions:

1. After bidding...How soon will you expect payment?

2. Are these shoes brand new? By that I mean have they ever
been worn or touched the ground?

- only1e19

1. Probably after the auction ends. 2. Really is that what brand new means? Forget the fact that I only said "NEW" in my description 10 times. I've never worn them outdoors or indoors for that matter, and they might have touched the ground in some Chinese factory, but dude, look at the pics, they're brand spanking new.
.

A Couple More eBay Stuff

By demand here are a couple more messages I get from bidders and buyers:

Dear reegsta,

i got an email of the usps and the address is wrong its corpus christi texas 78413 it says crp christi 78413
- jesse_alonzo

Are you serious? Have you heard of the term 'abbreviation'? Probably not, since it looks like you haven't heard of 'punctuation' either. It means to make something shorter. USPS.com sometimes truncates city names so it could fit on the label. Man you act like it says Rancho Cucamonga or something.

Dear reegsta,

i just wanted to know when the shoes will be sent out? thanks!
- jesse_alonzo

Okay homie, you just mentioned you got an email from USPS notifying you of shipment, and you're asking when they're getting shipped out? That's what you received the email for! You don't deserve to wear my Jordans.

Dear reegsta,

Hi :)
I just want to ask you about 2 things:
1. May I have a tracking number of a package?
2. Whould you please leave a feedback to let me have TWO in total :)

Thank you in advance!
All the best!
Serge
- sergemur

Its our contaction friend again! This time he only used 2 smileys though. Then again based on his feedback, he's relatively new to the world's biggest garage sale. I mean I was friendly to my sellers back in the day too. Ahhh one day he'll learn.

package A+ fast shipment shoes georgous i love you man !!!!

Buyer: codecandflexor ( 29) Oct-07-08 09:14
NEW NIKE AIR TRAINER I MICHIGAN SZ 10.5 III SC DS RARE! (#170266389145) $199.99

Ahh the feedback portion here. Usually its pretty generic, but I'm glad I've touched his soul for him to confess his love for me already. Usually it takes maybe 3-4 pairs to get to that level. Then again he's from France, and that's one romantic country. Oh yeah these are the same shoes that that one guy super-critiqued and lowballed me on.
.

Are You For Real?

People who ask questions on eBay or either lowballers or pretty funny, or sometimes both. Here goes a sampling of some of the questions in my inbox:

Dear reegsta,

yo my number is 17187751212 you might be interested in something
- alex150569

No homie I’m not gonna call you.

Dear reegsta,

Hey there :) I'm going to bid on Vista Ultimate but since you want international bidders contact you well so I'm contaction you :) I live in Russia so I've no idea how much you gonna charge me for shippment via cheapest possible air mail :)

So I guess this is it :)
Regards and good luck!
Serge

I think 4 smiley faces is a bit OD since I'm not gonna give you a lower price, but at least homie paid for the auction already. And the language translator tool must be broken. WTF is contaction??

Dear reegsta,

ok great i will place the bid can you just end it and send me the invoice so i can pay and you can ship out tomorrow thanks john
- frankie23x

Hey frankie it’s still a live auction! I’m not gonna end it until it actually ends.

Dear reegsta,

I will give you 200 shipped for these right now. Thats all I have
- mrcoffee05

If that’s all you have maybe you shoudn’t be buying shoes then!

Dear reegsta,

The grey around the toes looks dirty/stained and theres some grey on the sides that look smudged up as well. I'd pay $140 shipped if interested.
- punklance

Thanks punk for a diatribe of my kicks when that’s what the pics are for. Declined.

Dear reegsta,

Hi,

I have been looking for a pair of these for a while, but I need some help with the sizing. Im usually a 12 in am1's, 90's and Jordan III,IV & V's. Will these fit me? I've heard that they run quite big, thats why I'm asking.

Hope you can help me out,

Many thanks!
- pyrophilly

You’re a size 12 and you’re wondering if you can fit a sz 10?? Yeah if you plan to cut off your toes.

Dear reegsta,

hey wassup i was recently outbidded on the NEW NIKE AIR FORCE 1 PREMIUM SZ 10.5 USA WORLD CUP MAX, IM WILLING TO GIVE YOU $240 IF YOU SELL THEM TO ME.
- erodriguez812

Okay the kicks ended for $200, if you wanted to pay $240 you should’ve bid that much! Karma isn’t worth $40, since I would hate to see the situation happen to me.

Dear reegsta,

HI
ARE THESE SHOES FAKE??? I WILL BUY THEM RIGHT AWAY IF THEY ARE. THANKS
- xgearsxofxwarxkingx

Why do you want fake kicks? And I only say "authentic" and "real" in my auction like 100 times.

Dear reegsta,

Could I see close up shots of the air pocket. I'm looking for a wearable pair. Would you say that these are in wearable condition? How do the midsoles feel?
- kalonji7

How do they feel? For real? Umm...like rubber or warm apple pie or whatever you want them to feel like.

Ahhh to be a PowerSeller again...

Today’s Grab Bag

Thumbs up to BofA’s new ATMs that accept checks, recognize the amount written [even if by hand], and take cash in any direction. Plus they eliminated the need for envelopes woohoo.

Clay Aiken is gay. And in other news, the world is round.

***

I guess the Knick’s brass read my blog. They’re having Steph report to camp. Sorry Kram.

***

I was reading GQ’s latest about how to be a Gentleman in the 21st Century, and they mentioned not everything you do is blogworthy. **Makes mental note to self.**

***

Oh yeah Megan Fox came through again on the cover of the current GQ. So you’ll see her 2wice on my coffee table.

***

How is it that eBay promotes sellers to be PowerSellers, yet limits how much you sell? Isn’t that conflicting? Man they’re cockblocking my sales. 15 pairs down, so I’m like 25% complete.

***

I need to heed my own advice and find a hustle. [see point #8.]

I already got my license plates, but didn’t put them on yet. Its just the standard #AAA### fare, since #1STUNNA was taken already.

Damn them 90210 girls are mad boney. Look at Silver's arm! And yes I’m still watching it, even though there was a mad dropoff since the pilot. And what sister asks her brother for a rubber?? I don't care if he's adopted or not.

Thoughts I Thunk about While Thinking

So why when I microwave my leftovers, they’re piping hot like the first 5 minutes of eating but get like frigid as I’m getting closer to the end of my meal? It happened today with the rightunder [whoops I mean leftover] chicken teriyaki I had. I’ma fast chewer but a slow eater I guess. [Cicely I think you blogged about this phenomenon before?]

***

Man so after the first go round of unloading the kicks, I only sold 10 haha. I know I’m asking maybe a lil above market value, but its more like the “HI” price if these kicks were in a Beckett Mag. Damn I used to read every word of those mags and still have the 1st Future Stars edition with Kenny Anderson on the back cover [Todd Van Poppel was on the front lol]. Then again most of them ended on the bleakest day of the US financial markets in awhile, so why is my timing always off??

***

It’s a weird dynamic knowing your siblings might read your blog and even weirder when they talk about it in front of your moms haha. Hmmm don’t think I would like her to read her sons thoughts.

***

Its actually beneficial having a couple whips. Today for example, since we’re going to The Warfield to see Musiq, I just drove the beater in. Hmmm will probably keep it now.

***

Desean Jackson is a fool haha, but I’m just upset that I picked up Darnell Jackson instead. Its like confusing Michael Jackson with Freddie Jackson.

***

So I went to Target to get that Ne-Yo and didn’t realize the Gym Class Heroes dropped too. How come no one told me?? But similar to their first release, that album took a lil while to be appreciated. I was walking around too and noticed their Dreyer’s 1.5 Qt Cookie Dough was more on sale for only $3.50! Dude I paid a premium of 42% [($4.99-$3.50)/$3.50] when I got it the other day grrrrr. I had thoughts of actually returning it haha, but can you imagine returning ice cream? I’m cheap but I draw the line somewhere. But yeah, either they’re a lot cheaper here or the grocery store I shop at shold be frequented less frequently.

***

Speaking of, who’s song is “Single”?? It appears on both The Block and Year of albums [and ummm, not that I have both **cough cough** it was Rol who gave it to me, who it turn got it from Al, so its really his fault haha]

***

Hmm I was always about getting a MacBook Pro but now I’m leaning towards just a regular MacBook, esp if they come out with a 15” version. Right now a 15” MBP is $2K and a 13” MB is $1.5K, and $500 for a 2” gain would be wonderful in the height or shaft department, but debateable when discussing displays.

***

I’m was thinking of letting a few of my subscriptions lapse, and the first on the chopping block was MAXIM. Then I get the new ish with Megan Fox on the cover. I’m still not gonna renew but at least I’m going out in style haha. Oh yeah check out what I wrote on April 26, 2004 [yes almost 5 years ago]. Reegsta wrote:

“- Anyone know who Megan Fox is? She is aptly named.”

For real if these chicks were stocks, I would be a millionaire. Even in today’s market. Damn I know how to pick ‘em. Oh yeah FWIW, she’s currently #2 on the chick list.

***

I’m running out of ideas to write about for Ploomy. I should get a suggestion box.

***

Smallville Season Premiere tonight! Woohoo I'm probably the only one excited, but the trailer shows the seeds of the Justice League! And ladies [and umm some dudes] I know you've seen these previews while watching 90210 and GG and Priveleged and whatever else they show.

***

Oh yeah lastly, if I chat with you on AIM, I totally apologize for my away message. I swear I only thought it was there for like an hour when I went on a lunch break. Then meeyushel mentioned that I should change it, so I was like huh. Then I purged it, deleted it, resetted my settings, changed my mobile settings and everything, but it was still there! So while there is nothing wrong with cunnilingus, I apologize if I offended everyone, so sorry to go Kornheiser on yall.

A Few thoughts Roaming in my Dome on a Friday Afternoon

- How come every time I see Mike Phelps there is either a Lil Wayne reference or Lil Wayne himself? Do you think they’re becoming BFFs? And for that SNL commercial Wayne had to be standing on like the NYC Yellow Pages or something, because I think I’m even taller than dude. Hmmm I wonder if Phelps handlers would’ve preferred him listening to the Jonas Brothers or something.

- Where did all these new age white chicks with the badonkadonks [sp?] come from? Not at Kim K's level, but then again no one really is. Walking around downtown on a nice day has its benefits, although today isn't one of them.

- Are floods back in or something? How come when I see dudes walk, I can see their socks? I mean when I get my pants tailored, I always request a slight break, but it seems like some dudes rock some extra long capris.

- So I'm playing golf tomorrow with my brother and his friends, who are single digit handicappers. Wait my brother isn't, since I'm alpha Tacorda golfer, but he'll get me once in awhile. So there's a chance I'ma get the copper medal in that foursome!

- I'm rocking a long sleeve polo shirt today instead of my usual button-up [or button-down] garb. Apparently its acceptable per HR, but I still try to only wear in on Fridays.

- Why are pea-coats for dudes only in either Black or Navy? And they look similar from afar? If I ever could find a short Brown one, I'd be all over it.

- How come I feel mad gross and lazy when its been 6 days since I've done anything physical activity? Before I used to feel like this after 6 weeks hahaha. Maybe I'll hit the gym tonight.

- How come it took me 3 days to put sheets on my bed? Okay granted the first night I just fell asleep on my sofa, but the next couple I just laid on my blanket and wrapped myself up like a lumpia. I got sheets on now ladies!

- 1 pair down, 49 more to go! Don't ask for any hooks unless you can get me a Navi system or a laptop or if I like you hahaha. So this is what I've been doing the past couple nights as these are the kicks I don't care about or have doubles of. Actually I had to pull a few back since I couldn't part with them. I mean I'm tryna pillage people initially so we'll see what the marketplace dictates. But at least I don't have Flight Club prices.

- Man its addictive selling stuff, so I can't blame those drug dealers lol. Naw jp, but simplifying your life starts in the closet. I wonder if my used Jordan shirts with yellow pits stains can fetch anything too. Its a free-for-all, but not really free.

- Hmmm I wonder if my dad would get upset if I sell my old golf set, since I don't think I would ever use it again. And Pings hold value [well, except Nick's] so I could get up to $400 for that set. I'll ask him, but he'll probably ask for the money since he gave them to me like 10 years ago haha.

- Aight 5K!

My 1500th feedback is probably my most fav. How appropriate:

"MY LIFE IS NOW COMPLETE W/ THIS SHIRT-I CAN DIE IN PEACE-FAST SHIPPING-100% AUTH"

I'm glad to bring fulfillment to another persons life. I was cleaning out my closet and realized I had all these Jordan shirts that I haven't even worn yet. Tags still attached and all. I'm 26 now and I figured the shoes would be enough. Don't need to be all fitted with the corresponding shirt. Someone out there would appreciate it more than me. Plus for some reason I bought all these shirts in a size L but now I like my shirts extra medium. (I can't believe I even bought some XL sized shirts in the past.)

Oh yeah, here is the shirt:

It sold for $38 and was purchased for $20. Not too shabby.
