the random musings not worthy of new thread thread

[Sgt PSN]

was the shipping price listed up front?  if so, you don't really have much to complain about.  as long as he shipped it the method he listed in the auction, you knew the charges going in and if he could ship it for less than that's to his benefit.  that's how i always saw it anyway.

the method of shipping on the auction was usps priority mail.  and it came in a regular envelope with a stamp.  so no, i don't believe he used the advertised shipping method. 

thats SOP for ebay

the seller can charge anything he or she wants for shipping....its not like its a hidden cost or anything its listed before you buy the item...ive sold and bought tons of stuff and ive never seen a shipping charge not be much more than the actual postage and actually the fact that the difference in yours was only like two bucks is actually very low

yeah, it's not a huge deal but it seemed pretty smug of him to respond the way he did. 

i'm also a cheap and more jew when it comes to money than mds, especially with the crappy economy in cali.  when i pay for something, i want my money's worth and i don't care how insignificant the cost may seem.  and when i see a charge of $2.50 for shipping then it better damn well cost $2.50 (or somewhere in the ball park) to ship it.  but he charged 4x the shipping cost.

if it's ebay sop, then so be it.  i don't buy alot from ebay so i'm not overly familiar with their policies.  i do know that in the past when i have purchased something from them, the shipping i paid was either the exact cost or was really damn close.  and in one instance, i a seller emailed me the day he shipped my item and offered a refund because he charged me $20 upfront and the actual cost only ended up being $12. 

so i took the refund, went to the american legion and had 5 drinks.

eBay gets paid by sellers.  that's all you need to know if you're not happy with one.

And Mayer just goes right ahead and stabs himself with a hot poker, saying: "Someone asked me the other day, 'What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?' And by the way, it's sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a [n-word] pass ... But I said, 'I can't really have a hood pass. I've never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, 'We're full'.... Not to say that my struggle is like the collective struggle of black America. But maybe my struggle is similar to one black dude's."

Tannenbaum mused: "Do black women throw themselves at you?" And just in case he wasn't already in enough trouble already, Mayer actually answered the question by saying: "I don't think I open myself to it. My [penis] is sort of like a white supremacist. I've got a Benetton heart and a [expletive] David Duke [penis]."

haha wtf. The only redeeming quality of that guy is he is ridiculous on guitar. He's a douchy, arrogant, and apparently racist musician who uses his guitar skills and writes crap.


He'd be so much better as the lead guitarist for a hard rock/metal band.

Wow. just realized that iTunes has the original broadway recordings from The Most Happy Fella that my grandfather is on. No shtein.

It's okay.  Most blacks do too.

didn't he sing that song "waiting on the world to change"  i know that had more of an anti-war message to it, but it's message applied to so much more.

Such a different time for music, but still cool to hear when it's someone you're related to.

Did he perform in cut-off sleeves and hemp necklaces? It's nice when families can pass on their traditions.

[Munson]

This was 50's do-wop and rockabilly. He performed dressed like a cowboy. And I wear flannel so...I guess so.
