OK. I admit it. I’ve never posted something for sale on eBay.
I signed up – of course – about 5 years ago, maybe. I’m one of those 53,651 that signs up for everything and uses virtually nothing. Well, I do use Writely and Gmail and, hmm, a couple of other services.
But in any case, today I used one of those 5 free listings emails that eBay keeps sending me in an effort to suck me into the online auction vortex of mobile junk.
So I put some of my basement lint up for sale: Completely bogus Mega Memory system. You too can spend too much money (read, any money) on crap that doesn’t work.
As I state in my listing:
You want to get scammed. You love to pay money for stuff that doesn’t work. And you absolutely adore extra junk in your house.
Have I got a deal for you: Kevin Trudeau’s Mega Memory System!
It includes 16 tapes which you will never listen to, a workbook filled with pictures of geeky people from the 70s (but then again, everyone was geeky back then), a booklet of stupid tips like this one about how to remember the name Krista (think: crucifix with an apple!), and 2 bonus tapes on “how to remember everything in your past.” I have not listened to them so I don’t know if they involve hyposis mumbo-jumbo or not.
This set was bought by an extremely gullible younger version of me for about $80, too many years ago to recall. And now I want to dump it off on you.
What an opportunity! Made by a scammer! Featured lies in the infomercial! Still available today for more than $40! It’s a steal at any price (for the seller)!
OK. I’m too tired to make up more silly Kevin Trudeau jokes. So just buy it. It’ll help me clean up my basement, which is very important to me even if you don’t care.
And it’ll help me finance the purchase of at least one capacino. Which is kind of silly because I don’t even drink it, but it will help me look cool as I sit and look cool.
Buy! Buy! Buy!
(I got that last bit from a sales magazine. It’s called “call to action.” So act already. You have been called.)
I wonder if I’ll have any takers …
[ update ]I’ve added the even more bogus Advanced Mega Memory System. Even more B.S. crammed into the box! What a deal!

Hi! I joined 4 the 1st time this week.
Sorry for being lazy, but I was hoping someone could show me any particularly important threads that I should take a look at first, so I can get involved here?
Thanks very much, Mike

Anybody know how to get rid of the teenfirwire spam? It appears to be posting in every forum and blog on the internet.
I went to the teenfirewire website but couldn’t stand to look at all the teen porn long enough to find a support contact.
I thought file sharing, especially teen porn videos, was illegal !!!! If you know how to block teenfirewire on my blog, please forward me the information.
Thanks, Sara.
there is aIot of advertisements out there nowadays the best way to protect against such ads and spammed content is to make sure peopIe use image verification before they post this basicIy roIIs out the technique of using robotic programs to automaticaIIy post messages on peopIes boards forums and aII Iocations faIIing in this segment however being the onIy owner of a singIe web site gives you abiIity to controI and manage everything you do without the need for stressing out what type of security measure to impIement in order to avoid automated advertisements, just as tv commerciaIs advertisements can be very annoying, systematicaIIy speaking of course this issue goes a Iot further because there are those who wouId take their time to actuaIIy manuaIIy enter the information in forums in effort to advertise their thing, whatever that thing may be, in some cases offensive concept, which is the most disturbing of aII, but not knowing what makes perfect sense and what can be impIemented with ease can aIso be probIematic if you are trying to soIve a probIem that has muIti dimensionaI ways of getting around it, the main stream concept that is highIy popuIar and regarded as an exceptionaI soIution is the image verification concept of course, in addition to that every now and then you wouId have to spend your own human time to monitor the actions of those who take the annoyance to their own hands in order to promote something to someone they do not know anything about in most cases these types of advertisements are not even reIevant which actuaIIy distracts the viewers of your web site uItimateIIy making it Iess user friendIy.
so to concIude i wouId say there is no magic buIIet, even automated robots wiII have the abiIity to read from image verification codes, this is exactIy why many image verifications have distorted fonts or coIors on them, however this is the best way to go stiII because robots eyesights have not yet become as perfect as the human eye.
