Please gentle sirs, be kind to one who is english not good. I am from Australia but did move to London now and would like you to kindly send this, your item, to my godson who is studying the bible in Lagos, Nigeria.

During the past week I have had not one, not two, but three dodgy bids on a mobile phone I had for sale on eBay. They were all virtually (but not quite) the same and all had postal addresses in Lagos.

Two of the scammers sent very good fake PayPal receipts that looked almost like the real thing.

Here’s what to look for if you feel a bit uneasy about the activity on your item: (more…)

But sometimes it would be nice to have a little forewarning. You might have a cool party to go to, or perhaps a hot date that’s a certain score. Maybe you have heaps of washing to do. No friends. No girlfriend(s). No life. Who wants an inconvenience like death interrupting something like that?

A while ago I posted a death notice on the ‘house. The Daydreamer didn’t really see the lighter side of it all but now he’ll have his own. PAYBACK’S A BITCH!

I can’t remember where I found this link, but there is an iPod Death Clock so you can discover when your beloved should (theoretically) become your dearly departed. So it is with a certain amount of humility that I now post the outlook for my trusted Nano…

Daydreamer, I’ll see you in seven months for a wake. Just make sure you get back in the kitchen and bake me some pie!

We all know the old saying: One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

We’ve had the dude who traded a paper clip for a house, another guy who sold his speeding ticket on an online auction house for $NZ52. Faulty laptops, non existent laptops! Kieren Dyer, but who would want him anyway! And who could forget the whole “Jesus Toast” escapades! In the age of E-Bay, securing another man’s trash has become even easier.

Which brings us to Ozheek (not to be confused to our own Oz). Now it seems that Ozheek’s recycle bin on his computer was getting a little large. Now rather than empty the recycle bin, he thought WTF… I’ll try and sell it on E-Bay. I’ve included the link, here, for the auction in case you think that I’m having a lend! 14 bids later and Ozheek is $US50 richer. For the winner; music videos, cellphone “stuff” and yes, porn, is their treasure! As for me, I’m searching around my house for crap to sell right now…

Thanks to a BEEZHOUSE reader, Michael Philippe, for passing this one along.
