eBay My World: robbiemonkey( 710)

I'm a broke EE college graduate searching for a job, eating $2 microwave dinners and running a sales business out of my bedroom/office/warehouse to pay for them. It's fun and challenging, and I have tons of work to do!

Electronics, video games, strategy guides, junk bicycles

English, Geek

Bicycling, hiking, surfing the internet, fixing computers, most importantly relaxing (doing nothing)

Favorite book: -Modern Digital and Analog Communications-, 3rd Edition, Lathi (1998), -Star Ocean: Till the End of Time Official Strategy Guide- (2004). Worst book of all time: -Discrete Systems and Digital Signal Processing with MATLAB- by ElAli (2003), this textbook is packed full of typos and blatantly obvious errors that lead to confusion, otherwise this would have been an effective textbook. As for novels, I can't read anything that doesn't contain first-year calculus or higher.

Ocean's Eleven, I watched it 5 times because I couldn't figure out what the movie was about and realized that -SPOILER- the 11 people were disguised as the SWAT team -END RANDOMNESS- Also liked the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and I like classic movies too!

Price is Right, though I usually wake up everyday and it's over (around 11AM). I also like the skill-less Deal or no Deal and all that other stuff.

I started off as a eBay buyer (like most people), and eventually began selling cheap strategy guides. Nowadays, I look for things to fix, both from eBay and offline, and will eventually sell off everything that's in my dad's house (for really low prices too).

Don't pay CASH unless you plan on showing up at my door, you never know what Post Office employees will do, and don't let me get started with UPS, they believe that packages should be treated like a football (alright, that's not always true, but I asked an ex-employee and he said they did kick the packages but only sometimes, and the forklift going through the boxes happens not too often, after all, that's what insurance is for)

Even though I typically ship by the next business day, be aware that USPS doesn't guarantee anything besides Express Mail, I've had 3 day Priority Mail take 10 business days to deliver, and once Media Mail took 2.5 months to deliver a package. I've also had a package go to a lost recovery center 1000 miles out of the way TWICE before arriving at it's destination. Please notify me if your items are incorrect or broken before leaving feedback, I am reasonable about solving problems.

I will allow returns if the item is defective, unless the defect is stated in the listing or if the listing is AS-IS, but I can't refund shipping in most cases. I also cannot pay for return shipping.

Please contact me via e-mail, I rarely answer my cellphone and it usually takes me about a week to get voicemails.

I try to charge a reasonable handling fee, please know that I'm a one-man business, so I don't have discounts on postage or shipping supplies. I have to go to the post office to drop off packages, which costs me time and mileage (and no, I can't use the free Carrier Pickup, because this requires at least one Priority or Express Mail package to qualify, and I send mainly First Class, which is ineligible). Fortunately, I don't have to stand in line, I just go into the back door and place your packages directly in the First Class and Priority bins, really cool, ask your local post office if they have a -Bulk Mail Room-.
