Title: Very rare X-Calibur on Ebay and much more too !!!
Post by: Effy on October 19, 2005, 10:39:47 AM
Time to clean out my closet and put some of my rare things (http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZdiscovmax) on Ebay from which the X-Calibur (http://pics.cig.canon-europe.com/priv/95CB98442E3AFD6BAD119BF369CB075D.jpg) is the rarest. I got it years ago for 200 Euro and have never used it and as far as I can tell it has also never been used before. Everything is original, the box, the manuals, the detailed information of how to mount it including pictures !! The manual can be downloaded soon from  The Big Book Of Hardware, uploaded it yesterday to Ian ...

...breasts and cleavage?

Rather sexist.

Next, why not go for a hairy chest or a huge bulge.

That would be somewhat odd.

Though probably not making any girls happier... and make most men feel somewhat sick.

Or, to get to my point... I don't really find this very way of advertising hardware that funny. But that's just my two cents.

But then... maybe I have missed out on something? Something I should know before reacting? Uhm.

Legerdemain : I have already thought of using a man´s breast  but most sick people would instantly claim this would be a gay auction  :-o The reason why I try to convince my girlfriend to pose for me is to show her the comments after I created the auctions. When I met my girlfriend years ago she had a negative self-image and I am trying hard to turn that into something beautiful. Is this too psychological for  you ?? Her only rule is not to show her complete breasts, and I obey to that rule. I don´t have any plans to go the pornographic way and I don´t have the feeling that my pictures degrade my girlfriend to an ordinary object. I admit that I have used a "pussy" in one of my auctions but that was sarcasm because I didn´t use my girlfriend´s pussy but our cute black cat instead  :lol: That´s humour  :lol: I know it is offending to some people who also scream "pervert" when they see a girl in a bikini but who don´t mind seeing murder and death on the evening news. Sorry, but  those people are just a bunch of hypocrits to me. I prefer to take life from the funny side without hurting anybody, and so far I seem to do very good if I may say so  :lol:

No, not to that specific piece of hardware but I did use a  cable from her left foot to the electricity plug in the wall so insure she was grounded  :lol:

For the A600 dust cap.  Whats a "dust cap"  A dust cover or a keyboard skin?

Good question, I was wondering about that one myself, didn´t really know how to call it. It´s the plastic thing you put over the computer to protect it from dust and beer and other stuff that might not be useful for the working of the keyboard. Is "cover" a better word ???  :-?

Alexh : you are free to bid whatever you want and I have no idea about the price at the end since I can not compare it to any other card that is sold on Ebay ...

Fransexy : nope, sorry to say but my girlfriend is not for sale. Shipping costs would also be to expensive as those breasts are too heavy  :lol:
