Sure we’re thankful for the usual, a healthy kid, good job, etc. But what really gives me fits is how close we came to being trapped in our house and losing the 20% we’d put down on it in 2004.
So thanks to everyone on this site, Ben Jones’ site, BMIT and others that gave me a “schoolin'” back in Feb. 2006 and allowed us to get ahead of the curve and sell our place.
Also, thanks to someone on this site (was it JWM or TG? I can’t find the post) who mentioned shills on e-bay. I’d never known that sellers have the ability to drive up bids in those last seconds via other identities, but I’d read about it here just prior to bidding on a Transformer’s Optimus Prime toy for my daughter and when “someone” kept outbidding me I just dropped it and gave up…Next day I got a “Second Chance” e-mail indicating the winning bidder was unable to complete the transaction. Poo-poo Head!
Please tell me none of you are getting up at the Butt-Crack of Dawn to line up at Best Buy…My brain hurts from all the early sale hype. All Piggs should stay in bed tomorrow and count their cash (since we all know it’s sewn into our mattresses).
