Okay I finally stopped laughing after that last post lol......I've got another OT ? How many of you guys/gals have sold vehicles on ebay? I have sold regular items, but never a vehicle. I ask because my Dad is retired now, and is selling his dump truck.....rather large thing to sell, and pricy. I don't want to get hit with hidden percentage charges/fees if that's how ebay does it on car sales......any hints/tips? Thanks

SPCA would be all over that one. You could put a disclaimer that said, "No animals were harmed during the making of this video".

Scott, that sounds like a great idea. Let us know what we need to do.

Cris. we have a dog that looks like that. And she gets dressed up like that too. I think they call it a Lossapoo.

If it were me I'd stay away from ebay. Try what Jacob suggested, I love craigslist and it's always the first place I stop when I am looking for something in particular. It's free!

If I can get my hands on a video camera, there are a few things I have thought about recording as well.

& Cris, those pictures make me dislike that dog even more! brings back memories! When I was a kid we had this really mean cat, and we'd take dolly sweaters and little santa hats and dress him up. I wonder if I am going to have the animal rights people all over me for even mentioning that! He was never harmed during dress up time, just humiliated.

Hehe yep that'd be cool. No empty rounds at my house though...the other half loves to reload, and he has an affinity for used brass. All I have at my house is a box of .357 ultra mag for the J frame S&W in my underwear drawer. I have a single slug for the .12 GA too that I am saving for that one unlucky intruder.

Sorta sad how ignorant people are about that kind of stuff. The one's who blindly holler and scream about "animal cruelty" are the same one's who go out and buy a big 'ol cheeseburger and don't think about where it came from, or how it got there. Now I am very much against harming animals: ie beating, starving, mistreating..and all that...but processing livestock..comon!

I had an ex roommate who, one night, wanted to look at some of my pictures on my computer. My brother and I go hunting every year, so of course there were pictures of dead deer and elk on there, usually of smiling faces after the kill, or during the meat processing party. She quaffed "that's so mean". I said "Whats mean?" and she looked at me and said "You killed that innocent little animal!". I just sort of looked at her and said "Do you have any idea where steak comes from, or chicken, or that cheeseburger you just ate". I got this response that was sort of like "I don't care, at least I am not the one that killed it". Arrg!

Anyways! I always got stories!
