Since I no longer have a GBA, I decided to sell my EFA Linker. I bought it for $83 shipped, used it for a couple months, and was able to sell it for $68. I’m happy with that, considering it has no use to me.

I can’t find it per se… I can’t remember where I put it. Note to self: make sure you know where something is before you sell it.

My brother bought a digicam for Kessa and I as a wedding present, when he came to visit. Very cool, now I can tape videos and record ‘em… a whole new avenue of interest for me. Not to mention we’ll be using it for all things wedding.

So thanks, bro :).

We’ve got some new pictures up for our wedding. This includes 2 wedding showers, and a bachelor party.

Just when I thought my eBay bad luck was over, eBay returns!

Regarding the return of my faulty GBA, this was a message I sent to the original seller of the item, who says that he never received the return:

OK, the original problem was that I purchased a “Glacier GBA” from you on Jan-18.

I received it, tested out various games and found that they didn’t work on this system, yet they did on other GBAs. After some conversations between us, you said that you would accept a return, and if you found that the unit didn’t work, you would refund the item $$ and the shipping, else you would refund just the item $$ (which was $18.03).
So the item was sent back to you on March 8th or 9th. I attached the e-mail where you said to send it back. This means you would have received it around March 15th at latest.

I hadn’t heard anything from you, so I sent you the first message requesting the refund on April 3rd, in case you forgot. You said “The only return I’ve had in the last few weeks was a black SP.”

It went out FedEx.
Let me know the solution you devise.

Thus a problem results. If the item was really lost in the mail, then he probably thinks that I am still holding it and wanting a refund for the item anyway. Also if it was really lost, then I’m thinking (it’s possible that) he received it and has claimed to not have received it. He is an upstanding eBay user with almost 8000 positive feedback, so it’s probably more likely (from a 3rd person’s perspective) that I am lying, or the item really was lost. That’s why I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Now if only I could find that FedEx receipt…

Edit: In true coolguy fashion, the guy gave me the refund, even though he said he never received it. Bummer it was lost, but good guy to deal with, “tracyballard”.

My brother Marcus visits for some pre-wedding bliss on April 19th. While he’s here, his schedule is as follows (as far as I can tell):
Wednesday: picked up from airport, dinner at Aunt Barb’s, sleep at Uncle Barry’s.
Thursday: goes to Bagby with Uncle Barry, sleep at Ray’s.
Friday: dinner at Uncle Bob’s, sleep at Bob’s.
Saturday: day with Ray, bachelor party, etc., sleep at Ray’s.
Sunday: church with Ray, dinner at Aunt Brenda’s, sleep at ?.
Monday: government camp and timberline with Uncle Bob and Uncle Barry, dinner at Uncle Bruce’s, sleep at Uncle Bruce’s.
Tuesday: Bruce takes to airport.

I have lots of school work to do on Wednesday, and I won’t be finished until about 8 p.m. I also have a test Friday. The next week for me is “dead week” (the week before finals), which means that I would be pretty busy…

Since I took work off during these days, I should only be gone at the following times for school related appointments:
Wednesday until 8pm
Thursday until 5pm
Friday until 1:30pm
Monday until 1:30pm

But the above seems to not conflict. We’ll see when the time comes
