Oh Ebay–the joy you bring me! My external harddrive went a little crazy on me earlier this evening, as per usual, so I decided to browse Ebay again for a replacement. I found a superthin, new, 80gb external for around $50 after shipping. I went ahead and bought it. I currently have about 50gb on my external, so I can finally back those up and maybe take this one in to see what its problem is.
After that, I was feelin’ kinda lucky so I started looking around for the GPS system I want to get Ryan for Christmas. I found it! There’s a seller who currently has about 8 up that end in less than 24 hours. Only 2 of them have bids going on so far, and all of them are under $21, WITH shipping. They’re refurbished, but Ryan doesn’t need a brand new one anyway, and they come with all the accessories he’d need and I checked feedback and it looks like they sell a lot of these refurbished GPS systems and they have glowing feedback on all of them! I’m really excited about that! I just hope it doesn’t fall through in the last hour, but luckily I should be home by then to keep an eye out. Oh yeah, and these are still in the $500 range-retail.
I checked out the mp3 player he wants as well, and it looks like I have a fighting chance of scoring one for under $50. I’m not focusing a lot on that one right now. Most of the auctions I’m looking at have a few days left, so things could take a big turn.
I’ll be excited enough if I can grab this GPS…being able to get the mp3 player would just be a bonus. The only problem will be keeping them from him until Christmas! I already decided I’d give him the GPS a little early if we go to Louisiana though. Those trips are what they’re best for, might as well make sure he’s getting good use out of it, rather than just using it around Jacksonville. I want to snag it for a day or so to look for little places I’ve never been able to find in Valdosta. Some people swear there are some decent bakeries here, but I’ve never been able to find one!
Anyway, let’s everyone send Jade your lucky vibes now.
