What This Blog Is All About

Nothing special here.  I'm doing what hundreds in Rexburg alone have done before me:  I'm selling my nonsense online to anybody interested.  Below you'll see some pictures with descriptions detailing what I'm selling, as you can expect.  Each of my items will have negotiable prices and include an "OBO" next to the price.  As you know, "OBO" means "Or Best Offer."  I'd like to emphasize the word "BEST."  Being the only offer or the highest offer doesn't necessarily qualify it as the "Best Offer."  It has to be something we both agree on.  If we both agree, we have found the "Best Offer" for the sale.  In addition, please understand that none of these items are "Must Sell Now" items.  If you want them, and your offer is reasonable, I will accept it.  If not, I don't mind hanging on to my nonsense longer.



I"m sure you're dying to know where to get a hold of me so you can buy some of my nonsense.  I can be reached at (208) SEVEN FIVE SEVEN-3478 (I think I'm supposed to give my phone number online in this format, but I'm not sure exactly why).  My email address is (and it does differ from the one I used when setting up this blog) theycallmechad (at) gmail.com.


Though I monitor all comments posted, I welcome and accept any and all comments pertaining to the items I'm selling here.  I'll be fair to allow all appropriate comments, including critical comments, to be posted, provided they don't contain any objectionable material (including profanity, nudity, etc.).  If you have questions for me about any of these things, ask.  If you dislike anything I'm doing here or the price I've posted  these things at, let me know.



All items are available by local pickup only.  I will not mail, I will (probably) not deliver.




Hope to talk with you soon!

Factory Unlocked Google/LG Nexus 5, Black, 16Gb, Near Perfect Condition - $300.00

Oh man, I sure love this phone.  I would not be selling it, but my current employer decided to get me a laptop to carry around in my pocket.  When compared next to my Nexus 5, it looks like the difference in size between a tadpole and a bowling ball.  It's huge!  (See picture below, with the Nexus 5 being on the right).  Needless to say, my pockets still aren't speaking to me for deciding to sell my Nexus.  My wallet, on the other hand, having to no longer pay for phone service, has never been happier.

So let's get down to the nitty-gritty.  This phone is in near perfect condition.  I kept it in a case, with the screen protected at all times, and babied it every moment I had it.  It was truly my loyal companion.  Running on a pure android environment at version 4.4, this is as Android as you can get.  I know the iOS people will balk at that sentence, but I have no qualms in saying that this is the single best phone available on the market today (and probably tomorrow and the day after tomorrow even, for that matter).  Check out the specifications as posted on Google's Nexus 5 webpage below (also available HERE):

I would highly recommend this phone.  Not because I have $300.00 to gain from it, but because it is the only phone I am personally recommending to my family and friends.  If those of my family and friends who were looking for a phone didn't already have the Nexus 5, I would be selling this to them.  Consider this your lucky day.  Congratulations!

* SOLD * Samsung HLN5065W 50" 720p HD Rear-Projection Television ($150 Firm)

First of all, let me say that this thing is big.  This baby (if only you knew how close to the truth "baby" actually is with this thing) comes with 50 raw, unadulterated, diagonal inches of pure viewing pleasure.  With seven hundred twenty P's (ten eighty I's, might I add), there is no picture or video you can throw on this thing that won't look plain sexy.  Video games?  Movies?  Computers?  This thing handles them all like a champ.

I will continue to baby the thing until you get here.  Once you buy it, consider it a legal adoption of sorts.  There will be mourning, but I will stop short of teeth gashing and sackcloth ashing.  My only request is that you take care of it as I have taken care of it.  It deserves to be in a good home.

Halo Reach Full Game Download ($15.00)

I'm like you.  I used to think that games downloadable from the Xbox Live Marketplace were a gimmick.  I mean, who would want a digital copy of something you can get a hard copy of, specifically on something like a CD or DVD (never mind the Netflixes and iTunes out there).  I sure didn't, until I tried one.  It just so happens that by chance it was this exact game (hence the reason for me selling my other copy).  I can honestly say I won't be purchasing a brand new, hard copy game ever again.

Let's explore why for a bit, shall we? 

I don't have a lot of games.  What I do have, however, I find my self rarely playing.  You see, I only play video games when I'm lazy, and when I'm lazy the LAST thing I want to do is walk all the way over to my Xbox console and change the disc out.  Rather, I'd like to just go to the menu, pick the game I want, and hit "Play."  As a result, I play a total of 3 games:  Fruit Ninja Kinect (downloaded game), Halo  Reach (downloaded game), and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (hard copy that never leaves my Xbox).  None of my other games ever get played.  If only I could mail Microsoft each of my game DVDs and, in return, receive a code to download the game.  But it seems I am not to live in this perfect world after.

I suppose this is a time to talk about the game, but I won't.  You should know about the game already.  If you don't, you should probably not own an Xbox 360.  Halo to the Xbox is like Super Mario is to  Nintendo. 

What you get:  

1 Halo Reach redeemable Code

1 Lottery Ticket-like scratch surface to reveal your code

1 Cool cardboard picture of the Halo Reach cover art (the reverse side of the lottery ticket-like scratch surface)

See Pictures at the top if you need anything else.

Unopened Fable III for Xbox 360 ($10.00 OBO)

This game promises Hours and Hours and Hours and Hours of non-stop action and fun.

That is why I'm getting rid of it.

You see, I'm the type that wants to finish something once it's started.  I can't put down a good book once started, I  always finish my meal and beverage at the restaurant, I always fly fish until I catch SOMETHING, I never fall asleep during a movie, and I get sucked into video games like crazy.  I don't have time for that.  With a new baby, demanding job, a family that seems to like me around, and a current attempt to get my MBA, there's no way in HECK (pardon the language) I'm going to open this thing up.

But I encourage you to.

From what I've seen/heard/experienced (briefly), it's a way fun game.  If you value your time, you'd be smart not to buy it.

See a wiki site dedicated to the game here:

Game:  Fable III for Xbox 360

Condition:  Perfect, unopened, amazing

*SOLD* Xbox 360 Consoles: 20GB and 60GB Console ($110 or 140, respectively)

Xbox or Playstation?  That is a question that so many people have asked and most have answered; however, being how you arrived here, I will assume that person is not you.  So let me answer it for you by asking you this: Do you want a Playstation "Three," or would you rather have an Xbox "Three Hundred Sixty?"  There are exactly Three Hundred Fifty-Eight reasons for you to choose the latter as opposed to the former.  You're going to get an Xbox 360.

Now that we've got that out of the way, and the sale has been made less a transaction, let's figure out what you want.  Please answer the following questions:

Q:  Are hardware capabilities more important to you than price?

A:  Yes/No

Q:  Are you interested in downloading loads of games and game demos from Xbox Live?

A:  Yes / No

Q:  Would you rather install your games to your hard drive than play them off of your disc drive?

A:  Yes/No

Q:  Are you planning on downloading movies, TV shows, and other content to view at your leisure?

A:  Yes/No

Thank you for taking my quiz.  If you answered "Yes" to  more than 2 of the above-mentioned questions, you appear to be a prime candidate for the 60GB Hard Drive Xbox 360 Gaming and Media console!  If you answered "No" to more than 2 of the  above-mentioned questions, the 20GB console is right for you.  To the few of you who gave an equal number of "Yes" and "No" answers, you have just wasted your time taking this survey.  You should have already made a decision by now.  Shame on you.

Here's what you get:

60GB Xbox 360:  

1 White Xbox 360 Console with a 60GB Hard Drive (See Picture Below) in near-pristine condition

1 White Xbox 360 Wireless Controller

1 Xbox 360 Composite and Component cable (for High Definition and Standard Definition Television Sets)

1 Feeling of immense satisfaction knowing you are mere minutes away from playing your favorite Xbox and Xbox 360 titles (with the exception of Tron 2.0, because that one doesn't seem to be compatible for me for some reason).  

20GB Xbox 360:

1 White Xbox 360 Console with a 20GB Hard Drive (See Picture Below) in near-pristine condition

1 White Xbox 360 Wireless Controller

1 Xbox 360 Composite and Component cable (for High Definition and Standard Definition Television Sets)

Original box and packaging

1 Feeling of immense satisfaction knowing you are mere minutes away from playing your favorite Xbox and Xbox 360 titles (with the exception of Tron 2.0, because that one doesn't seem to be compatible for me for some reason).  

*SOLD* Flat Screen Daewoo TV - $40 OBO

The wait is over!  Daewoo, the car brand of the Koreas (The North excluded), has entered your living room! We've got for you a 27", flat screen (not flat panel, LCD, DLP, Plasma, or anything of the sort, so don't ask!) TV in near-perfect condition for sale at our home.  The colors are brilliant, the remote control works perfectly, and the viewing angel is amazing from everywhere not behind the set.  This has been a great member of our family these past few years.  It's potty-trained, can perform simple tricks (mostly sit), and has almost never bitten anybody.  It'll be sad to see it go, but hey!  Everything's got a price, right?  This sure does.

*SOLD* Desk - $10.00 OBO

Think about it...

Now that you're done thinking about it, let me tell you what you should have thought about:

This thing is perfect for a laptop, desktop, books, fly-tying gear, or just random nonsense in your garage.  It has two side drawers and a lap drawer.  It's made out of some wood-like material.  It's brown.  It can use a good cleaning.  It's perfect for your home, office, or shop.  You suddenly don't know why you haven't already purchased it. 

 

You can also eat dinner on it.

Blue Lava Lamp - $5.00

Okay, so there isn't an issue with your eyes.  I indeed got this thing as a Blue lava lamp; however, as you can see from the pictures, it's not looking too blue these days.  Though I followed instructions and never left it on for too long, for whatever reason it's looking more and more like an orange lava lamp.  I suppose it's fitting, though.  Lava, after all, never comes in blue.  Consider it a personal favor that I've spent these past 14 years getting the thing orange like it is.  Who'd want a blue lava lamp anyway?

It's in perfect condition.  You'll never want/need another lava lamp.

Ceramic Tools Set - $5.00 OBO

I have a bunch of ceramic tools for sale.  I got them for a class one semester.  From upper-left to Right and in a clockwise motion we have the following tools:  Off-Rounded Scraper, Fine-Tipped Stabber, Dual Mini Scraper Jr., Creepy Dude Back Alley Strangler, Curved Triangle of Wood, Tongue Depressor Spear, Metal Kidney, Sharp Curved Triangle of Wood, Dual Mini Scraper Sr., Pointy Off-Rounded Scraper, and some sort of round, squishy device.  These terms are all technical, mind you.  You won't have to bother yourself with them.  Suffice it to say the set is complete.  I have made many a bowl, cup, and vase with this very set.  It's in perfect condition with the exception of the old clay I'm too lazy to wash off.  You'll have to do that yourself.

*SOLD* Inflatable Giant Easel - $5.00

The pump came busted.  The chalk has been used.  I don't know how much paint is left.  But that aside, this thing is sweet.  It stands a nose-bleeding 5 feet tall, boasts a water reservoir to keep it grounded in this East Idaho wind, and will likely turn your smile into a rainbow just like the one on the picture.  Additionally, I believe this is the exact replica of the one Pablo Picasso used when he was training to paint all sorts of random nonsense when he was but a wee lad.  Imagine what it could do for your kids... or YOU!

 

Dream on it tonight.  You'll make the right decision.

*SOLD* .22 Caliber Target - $10.00

Brand new, opened .22 auto-resetting target.  Well, it's brand new with the exception of the thousands of pieces of led I've flung at it with my rifle.  I'm actually embarrassed to show off the picture, as it turns out.  You'll notice the Bull's Eye is only missing on one of the three targets, and I'm certain that was the time my wife was shooting.  I think it's time to let someone else have a crack at it.

 

I advertise this thing as a .22 Caliber target; however, it would be a lot of fun to hit with something bigger, even if it would mean you had to throw it away afterward.   I almost did it myself, but remembered I can't hit the dang thing.  I decided to sell it instead.

*SOLD* Xbox 360 Rock Band Drum Kit, Microphone, 2 Guitars, and 3 Games - $90 OBO

So your band didn't quite pan out.  Your drum set is broken, your lead singer has irreversible damage to his vocal chords, and the classic Fender Stratocaster guitar is, well, in two pieces following a burst of adrenaline at the conclusion of your last neighborhood garage "concert" you put on.  Bummer deal.

Those days are gone forever.  I'm sorry to be the barer of such bad news; however, I think I can help.  No, I can't sing lead for you.  But I can help fill your void.

Introducing:  Rockband for the Xbox 360!

It comes with a drum set, two guitars (one doubles as a bass guitar), one microphone, two Rockband brand drumsticks, and three games.

Check out some pictures:

3 Games:  Guitar Hero: World Tour, Rockband 2, and Rockband: The Beatles

*SOLD* - Cabelas Food Dehydrator (New In Box) - $99 OBO

News Flash:  Hydrated Foods Out Of Style!

I was shocked too when I first read it.  I mean, who didn't love a nice, juicy apple, apricot, or even onion?  Apparently, none of us do anymore.  That's why I've decided to sell this, our second emergency food dehydrator. We thought there would be a day where we would need both, but with 9 SHELVES and 21 INCHES (not centimeters) of food-holding depth, we have found just the one unit to more than suffice.

Got these things for $150.00 new.  It's yours for $100 or less if you can talk me down.  Actually, I'll say $99.  There's a lot of us out there, myself included, who psychologically can't handle a triple-digit number.  It's my gift to you.

I'd like to take this time now to speak on onions.  We've dehydrated quite a few things with our identical dehydrator, and have enjoyed every one of them; one food, however, stands above all the rest:  onions.  That's right, I'm talking about the Shrek-adored, tear-jerking, flavor of the Kings and Pharaohs of old and new alike.  They're amazing after they take a trip inside one of these things.

Here's what you do:  put on some swimming goggles.  Once they're on, chop up some onions however you would like (just make sure the pieces are big enough to not fall through the screen bottoms of the trays).  With the swimming goggles on, you will hardly notice the vaporous onion juices attacking your retinas.  Take the chopped onions and spread them out in a dense yet single layer across any or each of the trays.  Turn it on to the specifications on the instruction manual contained no doubt within your still-unopened box.  Leave them there until they're crispy.  Remove them and put them in zip-lock bags, jars, vacuum-pack bags, etc..  Slap them in the freezer.  Forget about them altogether.

Now, the next time you make a roast, stew, spaghetti sauce, etc., remember about the onions you so carefully stored in your freezer and toss in however many you like.  As the concoction cooks, the onions will rehydrate (I know hydrated foods are out of style, but you won't have to tell anyone) and be just like they were never dehydrated.

This method holds greater than or equal to 3 primary benefits, namely:
   1)  The onions dehydrated, packaged, and frozen take up far less room than whole onions on your counter top.
   2)  When you're hurrying to prepare a Sunday roast just prior to church, these are a real time saver (spoken from experience).
   3)  As the dehydrated onions cook and reconstitute, they soak up the juices of whatever you're cooking them in, retaining not only the original onion taste but carrying with it the flavors of the juices they soaked up, thereby helping to more seamlessly tie in the savory flavor of the onions to nearly any meal.

Please, think about how people will view you eating hydrated foods still.  Think about your food storage.  Remember a double-digit price.  Call me.  We need to talk.

Brita Water Filter Dispenser With 3 *BONUS* Water Filters - $30.00 OBO

This is not brand new.  It is brand Brita.  I don't even know if there is a brand out there called "new," but people say it for some reason as if it's the most top-of-the-line brand out there.  Well, it isn't, but we in the water filtering community already know that.  Brita is.  And, as I've said already, THIS is a Brita.  It's the Brita ULTRAMAX, the Cadillac of the fridge, the Bee's Knees, the Cliche of Cliches.  And it could be yours.

When our friends down at Brita designed the ULTRAMAX, they had you in mind.  They knew what you liked:  large quantities of filtered, pure, chilled water for your enjoyment.  Holding up to 18 glasses of water and conveniently shaped to fit a shelf in YOUR fridge specifically,  this Brita Ultramax was truly made for you.

The Picture:

Now Brita is a modest company.  They don't like to brag much about their accomplishments, so they had little to say about their crown jewel.  Still, though, here's what they had to say:

Brita Ultramax Webpage

Because no Brita pitcher or dispenser is complete without the Brita filter its self (sold separately in stores), we have decided to include not one, not two, but THREE Brita filters designed specifically for your new Brita Ultramax Dispenser:

Picture with filters:

To put it into context, here's what these things cost:

Pricing Chart on Brita's Website

Altogether, this package is worth (minus the tax you would pay in-stores) $62.98 (based on the Brita website).  We're selling it for $30.00.  You do the math.  

*SOLD* - Wii Fit Game, Wii Fit Balance Board, and *BONUS* Rechargable Battery Pack - $70.00 OBO

Let me be the first to say that I love the Wii Fit.  When I first stepped on my friend's "balance board" (funny name, considering it's 3 times wider than any balance board I've ever seen or stepped on in elementary school gym), I was hooked.  And not only that, in a matter of minutes I was perspiring!  The thing was great!  The problem, however, was complacency.  I discovered there's games out there that you can play by only moving your thumbs!  Ever since then, this poor contraption has been horribly neglected.  It's time we say "goodbye" to the very thing that has gotten me off the couch and back on my feet.  Come try it out:  you'll fall in love with it the same way I did.  That I promise you.  The one thing you might not do, however, is want to pay the asking price of $75.00 for it.  That's fine.  But I challenge you to find it ANYWHERE online any cheaper.  I sure haven't.  I'm in no hurry to send it out the door.  It's yours if you want it, but don't expect me to give it to you much lower than what I'm asking for it.  Come over, try it out, and we'll talk.

Let me quote from CNET:  "Have a Wii?  Buy this!"
http://reviews.cnet.com/wii-games/wii-fit-wii/4505-9993_7-32513029.html

Now that that's out of the way, here's the picture:

Again, I'd love to let you try the thing out.  Just call beforehand to make sure you have a time that works for me and my family.  We'll figure something out.

K2 Power Extreme Roller Blades w/ Bonus Wrist Braces! - $50.00 OBO

These things have been amazing.  The only problem:  I have decided years ago that I don't want to be a roller blader (spelling?).  I just never quite got into it enough to use these things the way they were meant to be used and have therefore shelved them for several years.  Perhaps it was the dirt road I grew up on in the middle of Nowhere, Idaho.  I can say though (and I have the scars to prove it) that these things are fast if you let them be.  They're great for both snow-free months Rexburg has to offer each year.

The Picture:

What you get:

-The roller blades of all roller blades:  The K2 Power Extreme!
-Not one, but TWO wrist braces, which, when warn at church, class, or work and coupled with a story of a bizarre wrist injury, double as great attention getters for those who seemingly get very little attention on their own.  Very handy little buggers they are.  Oh, and they also protect your wrists when you fall.

I'm not sure how much lower I'm willing to go on the price, if any at all.  As you can see in picture #2, I paid over $220 for them a few years back.  In their condition, $50.00 is really a steal.  I might have to talk you up when you come check them out, but I suppose that won't go over really well.  Nobody does that.

*SOLD* Solomon 7.0 Ski Boots - $45.00 OBO

I loved these things.  They were warm, looked great, and ultra-cozy.  The only problem I had with them, though, is that they were a bit TOO cozy.  I mean, I'm typically a Men's size 8.5, but when I wear these, I'm pretty sure I'm stepping into  a pair of boots 1/4 size too small.  It's just not the comfort fit I was hoping for, and no matter how many times I give them a try, they never seem to fit quite right for my long feet.  Perhaps it's because of all the sweet jumps I pull (and land, but that goes without saying), but after a long day at the slopes, my big toes are just throbbing from being pressed up against the toe of the boot.  Oh that I wish they fit better, but it's time I face reality and move on to bigger, though certainly not better, boots.

The Picture:

What they come with:  These things are loaded with all the bells and whistles (minus actual bells and whistles).  They have no fewer than 4 buckles PER BOOT and 1 ultra-comfort Velcro supporting strap for the shin.  On the back, right above where it says the industry-leading brand name "Salomon" you can see a little nob sticking out.  Rotate that vertically and you're ready to ski.  Spin it horizontally like it is now and the boots are set to "walk" mode.  Inside you'll find extra comfort in its soft yet supportive cushioning, that not only blanket your feet with Heavenly-soft padding but keep your feet nice and warm in even the roughest of conditions.  A sure bargain these things are.

*SOLD* Panasonic Fax Machine - $7.00 OBO

You read that right:  it's a Panasonic.  You probably never knew the same industry-leading company in plasma TV technology also has perfected the fax, but it has... many years ago.

This thing has been great.  On countless occasions we have been asked to fax in an application, resume, or other official/semi-official document, and were we to not have had this, would have not known where to go to do such a thing.  We've all been there.  Come pick this thing up and never be there again.  Even in this age of Email, faxes are still not uncommon.

The Picture:

As with my other items, it comes with all necessary cables and the such.

*SOLD* K2 Fatty Snow Blades - $80.00 OBO

First, the video (not showing the exact product, but they are basically the same thing):

Yes, you too could be as cool as these guys on the video.  But even if not, I can assure you they are a lot of fun.  You have to try them out to fully understand.

The Picture:

I paid over $300.00 for them a few years back.  I think $100.00 is a reasonable price.  I'm asking for $80.00.  Not a bad deal (for you).

*SOLD* - Sony CDX M610 Car CD Player/Stereo

First of all, no clue what this thing is worth.  I can just say I wish it were in our car today.  We have one of those built-in stereos in our car that, should you replace it, would leave a very awkwardly-shaped, gaping hole in our dashboard.  We have therefore decided to part with this treasure.  It looks great, sounds great, and is a lot of fun to use (you push a little button and the face automatically opens up, revealing all kinds of hidden buttons and things of this nature).

CNET didn't have a lot to say about this one, but they did post its specifications in case you were wondering what all it does:

I found a nifty youtube.com video showing off a bit what this thing does and how it looks:

Now some pictures I took:

And here's some pictures I swiped from Bing's image search:

What it comes with:  two remote controls (in case you need to operate the thing from inside the trunk or something) and all the cables that look like a big mess in the top picture I posted (not sure what they all do, but they're all the cables that came with the thing).  We also have the ORIGINAL BOX and instructions that came with it, though the box is no longer much to look at.

Canon i560s Photo Printer - $35.00 OBO

Okay, so when I went online to see what others are selling this thing for, I found two prices on Amazon.com.  One price was $99.00, which I thought was reasonable, and the other was $399.00, which is obviously ridiculous.  I'll take something in the ball park of $45.00 for the thing, but I'm willing to talk with you about the price if needs be.  It has always worked great and has never let us down (unless it runs out of ink).  It comes with the cables and a mostly-full black ink cartridge.

Again, here's what CNET says about it:
