*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!"

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:

And the pictures:



Epson Perfection 1250 - $35.00 OBO

This has been a sweet scanner.  It does ultra-high resolution scans.  See its specifications and read what CNET had to say about it here:

http://reviews.cnet.com/scanners/epson-perfection-1250/4505-3136_7-6704408.html

Here's a picture or two:



Yes, it comes with all necessary cables and the like.  Works like brand new.
