So I posted a couple of weeks ago that I was trying to sell the PS2 game, Rock Band on Ebay. I bought for me my kids and we played all the songs on it and had a great time for about a month and then…just… quit playing it.  I mean it’s really cool with the drums and microphone and guitar but you can’t add any songs with the PS2 version and the drums are really hard to learn and I could never get comfortable. I did score an almost perfect score while singing “Don’t Fear the Reaper!” ( I need more cowbell!)

Anyway, the plan was to sell RockBand on ebay and take the money and buy Mario Cart for the Wii.  I’ve sold stuff before so it was no big deal to get it all up and running in about 10 minutes. The item went up and after 6 days, presto, we have a winner.  Some person in Massachusetts was the winning bidder at $73 bucks plus a flat rate of $25 for shipping and handling. ( We have the original box and everything has been packed together nice and neat.)  I send off an invoice and a nice congrats email and wait for 98 bucks to show up in my Paypal account.  And I wait.   And wait.  Hello?  Nothing.  I send another nice email saying hey, you won, please pay. Pretty please.  Don’t make me get the ebay police on your ass bottom.

Nothing. So wait one more week and then have ebay send an official notice thru their Dispute Console. Isn’t that cute! They have a dispute console. I could use that in my car. Hey that guy just ran a stop sign. Activate the dispute console!

As of today, still nothing.   You know, I understand if something happened where you just realized that gas costs $4 bucks a gallon and you really can’t afford to buy a video game right now,  and you probably shouldn’t have been bidding on a 100 hundred dollar item. Just tell me. I’m not a bad guy. I have 100 percent positive feedback.  I am a very positive guy.  There were 3 other bids and the sooner you tell me that you aren’t going to pay, the sooner I can relist.  It’s all good.  Just keep me in the know. That’s all I ask.

You doody-head.
