eBay My World: fixforkicks( 299)

I'm a honest guy. When I win an auction or Buy it Now, I pay quickly. I'm a positive person and do not care to be around people with negative vibes. I'm a homebody and love hanging out around the house working on projects and being with my wife.

Like most folks, I'm only interested in great deals and I don't buy from anyone that has less than a 99.0% feedback. I used to buy from Ebayers with at least a 98%, but got burned too many times, so I kicked it up a notch to improve my buying experiences. I never bid on an item with a reserve price. That is a total waste of my time. To all of you folks that entertain the thought of a reserve price.... list it as a buy-it-now or start the bidding at your reserve price. In my opinion, most experienced and/or educated ebayers will not bid on reserve priced items. If they do, it would be interesting to know how many of those ebayers do it a second time. Two thumbs down on that program!

I fix and build stuff for fun (hence my ID, fixforkicks). I've probably worked on just about everything at one time or another. Oddly enough that's not what I do for a living, its just my hobby. I have just about every tool made to fix stuff or build something. My wife says I should start a website dedicated to answering questions from do-it-yourselfers. I just might. I love to help people fix their stuff or help them with their construction projects. That includes everything from replacing a light bulb to wiring the whole house. From changing the air filter in a car to rebuilding the engine. From fixing a leaky roof to re-roofing the whole house. From trimming the weeds to bulldozing the entire lot. That is what I like to do in my spare time. I know one thing...I wish I had a dime for every dime I've saved! That's what I'm talking about.

Don't have a favorite book. Too busy fixing stuff. I might write a book on fixing stuff, then I'd have a favorite book.

Jaws, Shawshank Redemption, Sling Blade, Grumpy Old Men and Christmas Vacation. There are a lot more, but I think you get it.

I'm into reality shows like Survivor, Deadliest Catch and Man vs Wild. When it comes to game shows, it's definitely Wheel of Fortune.

Treat others the same way that you would want them to treat you except better. Don't be selfish or self centered. Have compassion and goodness in your heart. Be a good listener. Love your spouse or mate and try to spend quality time with each other. And most importantly....remember to put the toilet seat down.
