Yes, it is extremely simple. I shop on ebay constantly for fishing stuff that isnt produced anymore and vintage video games, and have never had a security issue.

So I assume you actually do "work" from 9-5 then.....Ebay and hockeybuzz are very efficient ways of killing 8 hrs during workdays.

I couldnt find Rapala HJ 14's in the CW and OCW colors anywhere since they quit making them in that color pallet a few years ago. Lost the last one last year on the French River muskie fishing. Ive managed to scoop 4 or 5 of each over the last few months. Also, you can find some nice deals on new reels. I wanted a Quantum PT Smoke and they are 199 on tackledirect, scored a new in box for 135 shipped on ebay.

I'm kind of in the IT field and I'll just make a comment about security in regards to credit card #s on PayPal, etc.

PayPal is no more dangerous than using your card at your average local retailer or pizza place. Its probably easier to steal info off those terribly unsecure little machines with unencrypted wireless access than it is off PayPal.

I think that ebay is one of the best marketplaces in the world. You should set up a paypal account so that you can more easily access it. Some of the best deals and items I have purchased are on Ebay. Paypal is free to use as a buyer as well, they take their fees on the sellers or whoever receives the payments.

For instance, i bought a Crosby jersey for $50, and it has game worn authentication tag in it. Not sure if it is the real deal and don't care, but it was well worth 50 bucks!

I work 7- until 7 at most... However I dont work in a building and using any technology is strictly prohibited. I'm a train Conductor but if I'm killing time it's on a sport site. I let the wife handle the shopping unless I'm at a store.

Which railroad do you work for? Just curious because I deal with quite a few on freights and purchasing of their scrap on tear out/replacement jobs.

Its worth spending the money on decent gear. I figure Ill have it for a long time if I buy quality stuff and take care of it. Quantum reels, St Croix rods, plano box, rapala/mepps/blue fox lures. I didnt boat a muskie last year, but ill be throwing another 10k casts trying to get one this year.

I do quite a bit of business with the NS. Do you do any of the switching from the AVRR to NS? If so you probably moved a lot of cars out of our Sharpsburg yard.

Just about my favorite player to ever wear the jersey, but time waits for no one. He was clearly done as a player. I'm surprised it took so long.

I work in a bank setting and I've seen far more people get hacked from shopping online than using a local pizza shop.

Can't agree. He had nearly the same stats as Wallace in the last 8 games and yet they want to throw 9 mil at Wallace?

How can a guy go from a valuable possession receiver one year to "over the hill" the next? I understand time waits for no one, but he really didn't look any different. Tomlin can't manage the clock half the time so I really have to question his assessment in this instance.

Hines will play somewhere else and fit right back in to his bruising blocker / over the middle role. Raw deal if you ask me.
