Here it is, go bid on it! :D (he is a gun/knife collector)

I showed him how to use the simple HTML tags for centering and heading and bold and stuff, and he suprisingly understands it. He made that entire auction himself, even took the picture and uploaded it. He only uses computers to check email at work... :D

I am so proud... Now I know how he felt he taught me to ride a bike and I did it the first time :D

Congrats for your dad, but don't plug his auctions here. He did a good job, but save his work as an HTML and post it...don't advertise his stuff.

you're an asshat. He's not plugging his dad's auction. If he was doing it on a knife collecting board, it would be different.

Good luck to him..


I started my Dad on eBay about 1 1/2 years ago.

He loves and and made enough $$$$ to get a boat "18ft chris craft with 120HP outboard" NICE!!!

I hope you Pop has as much fun and good fortune as mine did

He probably hasn't figured out how much ebay takes from your sale yet. :D

how is it new in box if its clearly out of the box?
Case knives come already opened from the factory, they aren't sealed.

Only accepts money orders? Boooo...you need to introduce him to PayPal next.
I know, I think that is a lesson planned for this weekend :D

He does, I printed out the Fees page for him to see. He is good at wheeling and dealing, so he gets great deals on stuff like that. He is all mad that you can't sell guns on eBay. :D

Did he spam the board with lots of eBay auctions? No, it was one link, in a thread that specifically said it was about an eBay auction, in OffTopic.

Can you see the difference, or are you really that dense?

I taught my uncle how to use the computer and now he sends me links to stuff from like 3-4 years ago!

Case in point...he sent me a link to AYBABTU saying 'wow you gotta see this...its soo funny!' just a few months ago...
