GM's thread about nothing (47 Viewers)

[St. Louis Bob]

Anybody here have experience and or tips on selling a used high end wrist watch? I inherited one years ago and love it, but I never wear it anymore. Never sold anything on Ebay, but am open to it. I don't think a pawn shop is right for this, is it? Thoughts?

tell us about it.

Please tell me you have it on a plan with unlimited minutes.

Do you ahve a receipt or any provenance? There are tons of counterfeit watches out there.

Chem X, Doctor Detroit AND Finless...all in the same day? Nice!

Anyone ever make a huge life decision and then wonder what the hell you were thinking? Someone along the lines of, say, holding a draft in the GMTAN thread, but maybe even bigger?

So you sent in the adoption papers?!

Make sure your passport is up-to-date!

And you can't bring a purse with you.

and you have to wear a cat costume and be shipped in the cargo hold.

Our cats did not go in the cargo hold.

Well that's good. I don't mind dressing up like a cat and having to be transported in a cage. Again. Passport is up to date too!

I'm doing laundry and watching Investigation Discovery channel while Mr. krista works. Feel so housewife-y.

PS help housewife-ing sucks.

GM, e-mail me a couples of pictures and the documentation. I have family that will be able to help out.

www.watchuseek.com has an active buying/selling forum although, like eBay, a brand new person selling a high-end item is going to raise some flags. Take a look around there though to get an idea of what you're looking at.Out of curiosity, what's the watch?

I am guessing this one.

No pawn shops. Ebay is a great secondary market for high-end time pieces, there are other places out there as well. I think Watchcrowd has some avenues also, there are many outlets for these. If you find a local jeweler who deals in used Rolexs/Breitlings/Etc, you might get a fair price from them as well.

Thanks, GB. I might try to find a local spot that's a step up from American Jewelry & Loan.

Kinda nervous about selling it. I love it, but it's just not me. I get worried when I wear it (drunken idiot worry; not downtown Memphis worry) and if I leave it to my kids, well...I have to choose. If I got a fair price, I could put that money in their college funds. Or snort it.

Use the money on a couple more strip club visits with Uni.

When we went to the first one, I told him I was going to the store first. He asked me why and I said I am against paying out of service fees for ATM withdrawals, so I bought a couple of beers and got cash back. He was aghast that I would only roll in there with the $40 they allowed me to take out at the store. I assured him we would have to work very hard to spend more than $40 at the Acrop. Of course, that was long before the liquor made Chase propose to a stripper named Sin and well before he forgot where his brother lived.

He and I should NEVER be allowed in a nudie bar together.

After GM and I make a fortune opening up a Top Golf in Portland I was hoping to start a strip club with GB Homer in the Hamptons.

Always. Use two parts though. You know, just in case.

 

[St. Louis Bob]

Cal was at a friend's house yesterday evening, came home, got a snack, then couldn't find his retainer. Swears up and down he had it in on the way home and he set it on the table by the couch. We tear the house apart last night and again this morning. Nothing. Call friend's house, nothing. Friend's Mom just called, he left it there. I swear to Ra I feel like I'm living with 3 Alztheimers patients some times. It's like they are all doing some shtick acting like Dory from Finding Nemo trying to drive me insane.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

If I were a woman alone in a strange country, bored and waiting for my husband to get home... or the cats to start talking back, I think I'd use all the parts.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I think I'd drink all the rum, too.

You want him to pick 5 random players remaining, tell nobody who they are, and if your team selects them you get kicked out of the league? :shuked:

 

[Tiger Fan]

QB: Tom Brady, Brandon Weeden, Kevin Kolb,
RB: DeMarco Murray, Jaquizz Rodgers, Rashard Mendenhall, Bernard Pierce, Ryan Williams, Dujuan Harris

TE: Jimmy Graham, Jacob Tamme
DEF: ATL, DET

Anyone interested in trading us a QB that 1) does not have a week 10 bye week and 2) is likely to be playing in week 10 unless broken?

WE HAVE KEVIN KOLBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

Whoa whoa whoa....hold it right there, mister "TRADES AND TRANSACTIONS ARE TOO TEDIOUS". Just what in the hell do you think you're doing?

Not me...my co-manager.

I was merely saying that KK will be starting during week 10

 

[Disco Stu]

Was the clock turned on at some point today? We have a pick ready but thought maybe the draft ended.

JUST FINISH IT OFF! FREE FOR ALL! GO NUTS!

I have to ask the question. Can I get refresher on that story when K4 and some Canadian poster here eloped? Didn't he try to kill her with a butter knife? its real foggy and I remember it being too much to comprehend at the time. Did Safari Planet really die? Is the Iron Shriek alive? Gekko came back from the dead? Nipsey still gambling for a living? Anything else happen over the last few years?

I'll finish loading yahoo tonight and then turn the league 'on'. ENJOY!

Again, welcome back! We've moved past this stuff but it really isn't my place to talk about it either way.

I also can't wait to try this.

Safariplanet supposedly died?

Gekko posted some crazy nonsense in the Breaking Bad thread. That thing is a trainwreck.

Does anyone have surefire, non-shtick ways to avoid mosquitoes eating you alive? I'm being attacked to the point of thinking I need to move back to the US. Have tried B vitamins (Aussies swear by this--doesn't work), Off, fans, etc. I need help or Mr. krista and I will be separating as I can't take this. Not kidding. I'm even getting bites on my face.

I've been thinking. Going from a high pressure, high profile job as a legal barracuda to the quiet housewivey life must be jarring. Too much culture shock.

You need to liven things up. Invite TLC down to do a reality TV show on your lifestyle change. Get the whole neighborhood involved (and paid). Voila! Loads of fun while still staying retired. You can call The Gringos.

It's gold, Jerry. I'm telling you.

No offense, but I see you trying to do domestic stuff being about as funny as Ozzy trying to clean house. The furious concentration and total ineffectiveness. The cursing, the threats leveled at inanimate objects. GOLD!#@#

ETA: you can work in a "gimmick" where every episode ends with you polishing off a bottle of wine, and trying to recount your day to Oliver when he comes home from work.

I really am thinking about this too much. I need to get out of the house....

I'll get some of that the next time in the US. Which might be much sooner than I thought. I've also been researching and will get some of the metofluthrin products, both the strips and the dorky thing you clip to your clothing (though don't know how to deal with the sleeping issue). I have to engage in an all-out war or this is going to end quickly.

Well, I find myself just making up things to do because I can't stand doing nothing but we have a freaking cleaning lady six days a week. Next up: alphabetizing all the books and DVDs. (Yes, we brought a bunch of both.)
