i'm afraid that i won't be disappointed... that's the problem
i wish my mind worked right.... just this weekend i was realizing i hadn't touched my PS2 in months. I got Tiger 07 and the latest SSX a while ago and still hadn't played them. I told myself that I didn't have time for that stuff
and now this
I guess it's like posters... it's the allure of the ADD TO CART button
maybe I can just tell her I bought a HD DVD player???
in truth... my wife is a saint and never bitches at me... she thought dropping 750 on sub 1 was crazy but it wasn't like she was pissed or anything... it will be fine... i just like to discuss my options with others
just give her some sweet bostonlou lovin' and it will be all good.
Anybody want my euro ames s/n set? $260 for it (face value) You get all 4 prints and the art print. Somebody who likes these please take them away from me. I think they suck but beauty is in the...well you know the saying!

O's worker is caught stealing
Man admits taking stored memorabilia from Camden Yards to sell on Internet
By Gus G. Sentementes
sun reporter
December 14, 2006
The lengthy list of pilfered items from storage rooms at Camden Yards reads like an inventory from a baseball memorabilia collector's garage:
A Melvin Mora bobblehead doll: $3. Six Orioles warm-up jackets: $360. Numerous Orioles autograph cards: $1,000.
Baltimore police officers assigned to investigate the crime had trouble listing values for most of the stolen merchandise.
They wrote "value unknown" for the 1969 Giants media guide, for 50 Brian Roberts bookmarks, for 26 used lineup cards and a dugout's worth other items, including two bases used in one of the last games of Cal Ripken Jr.'s final season in 2001.
But the detective investigating the case decided that at least one item - a pass that allowed access to parts of the stadium, including its warehouse - was too valuable to quantify. At the end of the list of an official police report filed in court, he wrote: "Orioles employee ID. PRICELESS."
At $7.25 an hour, Jeremy B. Fefel was paid to run errands at the ballpark during games last season. The former employee, whose job title was "baserunner," also had a budding side business: filching Orioles' memorabilia and auctioning the items on eBay.
Fefel, 23, pleaded guilty this week to stealing hundreds of items, some as trivial as refrigerator magnets that are given away. The haul included 1960s-era media guides, team jerseys, beach towels, floppy hats and fleece jackets.
Some of the items were sold online before the Orioles had a chance to offer them to their fans. Other collectibles were intended to be sold by the team at charity auctions. An Orioles spokesman said he couldn't remember the last time the team had been victimized by such a scheme.
"I don't think we've ever been aware of anything like this," said spokesman Bill Stetka. Referring to the growing online market for sports collectibles, he said, "Of course, we're in a new day and age."
On Tuesday, a Circuit Court judge ordered Fefel to pay $5,000 in restitution to the team and do 50 hours of community service by his sentencing date, which is scheduled for April 3, the day after the Orioles open their season against the Twins in Minnesota. At that point, he would be given probation before judgment and placed on three years of unsupervised probation.
"Obviously, it was a stupid mistake," Fefel said yesterday in a telephone interview, adding that he is to perform his community service with the city's Department of Public Works in a solid waste and recycling facility.
"I've been a lifelong Orioles fan. ... I took advantage of the whole situation," he said. "I'd like to send my deepest apologies to the whole Orioles organization. It was a stupid decision, and I let it get the best of me. I could never apologize enough for it."
Stetka said the organization was disappointed that one of its employees had stolen from it.
"You hire people and you entrust them, you put them in a position where they can learn, and hopefully they want to go somewhere in the sports business," Stetka said. "And then to have someone basically stealing things out from under you - some of the things we lost are going to be very difficult to replace."
A sports memorabilia expert said the growth of online auction sites has helped broaden the market for collectibles. Even obscure or insignificant items that might have never been sold at tag sales or through classified ads are finding eager buyers on the Internet, he said.
"In the old days, the teams didn't really have to worry so much because the stuff wasn't worth anything," said Michael Heffner, president of Lelands, one of the oldest sports memorabilia auction houses in the country, which is based on Long Island, N.Y. "Now there's a tremendous market for it. Everything has a value to someone. There's nothing that's worthless. And with the Internet, it's not hard to find that buyer."
Fefel apparently found buyers for many of the items he took from Camden Yards.
Detective Lt. Jon Foster said his officers worked closely with eBay officials to determine who was behind the online identity of "vedderwood," which Fefel had created to sell on eBay. He also said it was likely that the officer, Jonathan Glazerman, mistakenly classified Fefel's employee ID as "priceless," and instead probably should have described it as having no value because of the actual worth of the material.
The ID's true value lay in its user's ability to traverse much of Camden Yards. Stetka said full- and part-time employees have varying degrees of access to different parts of the stadium, office and warehouses.
Fefel, who said he met Ripken in a movie theater once, said he has been a baseball fan and memorabilia collector for much of his life and started buying and selling baseball cards on the Web site while in high school. He continued trading on eBay through his college years at Salisbury University until he graduated in December 2005 with a degree in marketing.
Upon returning home to Harford County, Fefel said, he was having trouble finding work until he attended a job fair at Towson University last winter. There, he met people from the Orioles organization who sold him on the idea of coming to work for them for the season.
Fefel started in April and worked through mid-September, when police arrested him.
The list of stolen items runs for more than two pages in charging documents filed by police investigators.
Many of the items taken were Orioles media guides from the 1960s and 1970s. There also were media guides for other baseball teams, including the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, the former Kansas City Athletics and the former Washington Senators.
Stetka, the team spokesman, said the guides might not have had a high value for collectors but the team kept them archived for history's sake.
Fefel said he sold many of the guides on eBay for $5 or $10.
Other items that were swiped included a baseball bat used by Brian Roberts . So were 17 used Orioles game jerseys, three Sammy Sosa bobblehead dolls, each worth $3, two game jackets, worth $60 each, two fleece shirts, worth $45 each, and a framed picture of Orioles Opening Day in 1992 with an accompanying game ticket worth $100.
According to charging documents, Marco Gentile, an Oriole employee, was searching eBay when he came across several items that he thought didn't belong on the Web site. The items were being sold by a person who had registered the online identity "vedderwood" on the site. Gentile notified his supervisors, who called city police.
One tip-off came with the Brian Roberts bobblehead doll. The figure hadn't been made available to the public when it began appearing on eBay, the documents state. Orioles' team employees also told police that many of the items that were appearing on the auction site came from locations at Camden Yards to which only employees had access.
All other items were stored in a separate storage room, for which there were three keys. One of the keys was kept in the communications room, but that key disappeared, the documents said.
Another Orioles official, Lisa Tolson, told police that Fefel was authorized to remove items from storage during baseball games to give to ticket holders or to replenish stocks.
On Sept. 19, city police searched Fefel's apartment in Bel Air, where they found dozens of stolen items, charging documents state.
The recovered stolen goods were brought to the Southern District police station, where Orioles employees picked them up, the charging documents state.
"He's a nice young man who made a stupid mistake," said Paul M. Polansky, Fefel's defense attorney. "He's very remorseful. He admitted his sins and made restitution, and wants to put this behind him."
Fefel said many of the items that police took during the search had not been stolen but were part of his personal collection and that he hopes to get them back from police.
He has run into other online headaches this year over the sale of band posters for the rock group Pearl Jam that customers complained were overvalued.
Fefel said that he was conned on eBay when he didn't get jerseys that he bought for $1,400. He said he is no longer interested in doing business through online auctions.
"I'm done with eBay," he said.

Yeah it crashed yesterday as well.
They have been selling 4000 Elmos at noon each day this week. I saw it on the news Tues and decided to give it a shot. Got it in my cart yestertday and then the site went down.
The interesting thing is it stayed in the cart after the site was back up with a note that it is "not available at this time"...so today instead of refreshing the purchase page i went straight to my cart and clicked "submit order" till it processed. My mistake however was not having pre-entered my shipping and billing info so it took a minute and by then the little red guy laughed himself right out of my cart.
One last shot tomorrow, its still theoretically in my cart, and this time I am registered, so maybe.
If not, its no biggie, he's not asking for it (he's 2) I don't think he even knows it exists since the wife basically only lets him watch the Disney channel with no commercials.
Oh and something tells me that the 10C sales may kick in tommorow - of course being the day i go into the hospital for my surgical intervention that i have been waiting for close to 2 years now ( F'n insurance company deuschbags ) ----thgis could only be murphys law in full effect.

I don't think any poster sales will start again till 2007. So good luck with surgery and don't worry.
