NotNozireV
21:08:02
I shipped the item on ebay yesterday and this buyer is scaring the crap out of me
GBRedneck
21:08:40
aah your auction
NotNozireV
21:08:46
Yes sir
GBRedneck
21:08:49
whats scaring you about it?
NotNozireV
21:10:00
Well the buyer has a username made up of random characters only has 1 review also kept PM'ing me during the auction.
NotNozireV
21:10:06
All red flags
NotNozireV
21:10:38
Now that he's got the tracking number, he complained that its not seeing a status
GBRedneck
21:11:00

NotNozireV
21:11:10
Exactly
NotNozireV
21:11:16

NotNozireV
21:11:33
Mail stays put on weekends
GBRedneck
21:11:47

NotNozireV
21:12:03
cellphone
GBRedneck
21:12:11
aah yes i remember now
GBRedneck
21:12:21
i find most people on ebay quite scary
NotNozireV
21:13:08
lol, I've only had one bad experience so far
NotNozireV
21:14:38
My biggest fear is that he tries to swap it then sends back something else like that one fella tried to do to me many years ago
GBRedneck
21:14:59
did you take photos serial numbers imei no?
NotNozireV
21:15:13
The back can't be removed
GBRedneck
21:15:24
did you not snapshot the imei from the config?
GBRedneck
21:15:27
of the phone
NotNozireV
21:15:45
oh I did that plus taped myself packing it :)
NotNozireV
21:15:52
Which I always do with high end items
NotNozireV
21:16:10
well not 'taped' but 'video recorded'
GBRedneck
21:18:28
you should be fine
GBRedneck
21:18:40
perhaps he's just short of money and excited about a new product
NotNozireV
21:20:20
One guy wanted to know if I could ship the item to Colorado because he lived in Brazil and wanted to avoid import taxes. I blocked him almost immediately lol
NotNozireV
21:21:03
I don't care for life stories. All I want is to get payment, ship the item and move on with my life.
GBRedneck
21:22:23
yup its simply a business transaction
GBRedneck
21:23:05

NotNozireV
21:23:33

GBRedneck
21:27:22
i cooked a beef curry the other day
GBRedneck
21:27:27
we just finished it tonight
NotNozireV
21:27:41
Leftovers are the best
NotNozireV
21:28:15
A guy who shaves with a straight razor has to be a great cook. :D
GBRedneck
21:28:55
man my slow cooker is really getting worked hard
NotNozireV
21:33:31
Yummy :)
GBRedneck
21:36:49
i cooked a whole chicken the other day in it, came out really nice
NotNozireV
21:37:10
Oh man I bet that was soo tender
GBRedneck
21:37:18
just fell off the bone
NotNozireV
21:37:23
^^^^
GBRedneck
21:40:35
bah my sister just asked me to pick up a cheap pc for my niece but its got to be fast
GBRedneck
21:40:44
and include office for $150
GBRedneck
21:40:48
wtf
NotNozireV
21:41:00
lol wow
NotNozireV
21:41:08
Does it have to be new?
GBRedneck
21:41:11
no
NotNozireV
21:41:15
*whew*
NotNozireV
21:41:23
And does Office have to be ...*cough* ...legit?
GBRedneck
21:41:23
but it has to be fast
NotNozireV
21:41:48
She wants it for $150?
GBRedneck
21:41:52
i dont encourage that sort of thing
GBRedneck
21:42:05
she has a single user office 365 account
GBRedneck
21:42:11
she'll have to upgrade
GBRedneck
21:42:26
to the multi user one
GBRedneck
21:42:31
but yes $150
NotNozireV
21:43:03
Actually with all the used pcs out there, I'm sure she can find something good for $150 as long as she doesnt game or edit videos on it
GBRedneck
21:43:04
i have an old dell vostro
GBRedneck
21:43:13
she needs a monitor in with that mate
NotNozireV
21:43:30
She wants a desktop?
GBRedneck
21:43:36
yup
NotNozireV
21:43:50
That's actually duable
NotNozireV
21:44:22
I found a dell desktop with 32GB ram for $275 on ebay the other day
NotNozireV
21:44:53
32GB ram is crazy for a desktop
NotNozireV
21:45:06
oh but she wants a monitor with it too?
GBRedneck
21:45:39
i am gona give her an old machine i have
GBRedneck
21:46:05
i reckon i can get an SSD and a monitor for $150 then the machine will run ok
GBRedneck
21:47:27
thats pretty awesome
NotNozireV
21:47:32
Yes!
NotNozireV
21:48:47
Desktops are crazy cheap
NotNozireV
21:50:50
I think cloud computing will be the future once they figure out issues with delay/latency although I suppose if they host the servers locally (ie in the area they are providing service to) that would be a non issue.
NotNozireV
21:52:54
So, anyway back to the $150 desktop
GBRedneck
21:54:31
well i have a dual core vostro machine with 4gb of ram
GBRedneck
21:54:41
am going to put a £40 SSD in it
GBRedneck
21:54:47
and a £60 monitor
GBRedneck
21:54:53
so she'll at least get some brand new parts
NotNozireV
21:54:58
That's a pretty sweet deal
GBRedneck
21:55:02
i have keyboards and mice
GBRedneck
21:55:19
well she is family
GBRedneck
21:55:24
and is a pretty troubled child
NotNozireV
21:58:11
If you're installing Windows on it just encase the computer in padded rubber, that way when the OS crashes and she throws it out of the window no bystanders will get hurt.
GBRedneck
21:59:11
she'll get windows 10
GBRedneck
21:59:20
so at least it will feel like a new machine
NotNozireV
21:59:42
I've heard a lot of wonderful things about Windows 10
NotNozireV
22:00:12
That's awesome shes getting it with an SSD installed
GBRedneck
22:00:47
it has a windows 7 liecence already so the upgrade should go seemlessly
GBRedneck
22:01:00
btw did you see the photos yesterday?
NotNozireV
22:01:13
London?
NotNozireV
22:01:24

NotNozireV
22:01:38

NotNozireV
22:01:45
Taken with the iphone 6?
GBRedneck
22:01:59
yup
NotNozireV
22:02:52
It really is an amazing phone
GBRedneck
22:04:09
battery life is pretty paltry on the 6s though
NotNozireV
22:04:12
What is the shy looking mouse statue about?
GBRedneck
22:04:17

GBRedneck

GBRedneck
22:07:34

NotNozireV
22:09:25
Yikes
NotNozireV
22:09:32
That's pretty trippy to look at
NotNozireV
22:10:28
Is that building curved?
NotNozireV
22:10:48

GBRedneck
22:11:05

NotNozireV
22:18:45
I'm going to freak when I see classic car museums with crown victorias and chevy cavaliers in them
NotNozireV
22:19:15
The idea of a class car is rapidly chaging
