Just curious, am I the only one who doesn't want to shop with my cell phone?

You've brought up Magic Jack a couple times now. IIRC, Magic Jack requires a cable internet connection(technically anything >128kbps, per their website).

My cable internet IS a staple in my household. However, it's like $25-35 a month(can't remember exactly) so what would the technical added benefit of Magic Jack be vs. a land line or cell phone if you didn't use the internet?

If you didn't have internet, I guess there wouldn't be much of a benefit to it. However, most everyone I know has broadband internet, so piggybacking Magic Jack on it for less than $2 a month makes a lot of sense. Saves me a lot of money each year vs. having a land line.

JR, I'm with you. If someone can't take the time to put in basic info in their ad, and they have pictures they can send, but can't post them in the ad, then it's not worth my time to call them either.

Car ads on craigslist are the worst.

I got a NetTalk Duo.
$70 first year and $30/yr after that. I also don't need my PC to be powered on all the time. Makes UPS requirements a lot easier.

That is a good example of what I'm talking about, and I honestly can't even tell if you made it up! lol

I simply can't stand that crap. This is going to sound bad, but I've honestly seen better sales ethics by people that couldn't or wouldn't speak English. It's almost like people on Craigslist do their best to NOT make sense and remove any chance that you might think they had any teeth to begin with.

I'm not trying to plug myself, especially as I have a sale in the works, but this is what I expect when I go to look at something: http://www.okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106482

That makes up 95% of what I know about that rifle. I didn't add what I paid for it, even though I know. I don't know the metallic alloys or the type of wood, even though I'm certain I could find out.

As far as I'm concerned, the less information you add to something you're trying to sell, the more you don't want to sell it. The harder you make the information to understand or get, the easier it's going to be to not sell it.

Hey yall, Guess I'm the one of the last redneck/hillbillys around, I don't have neither.

Not exactly, my goal in life is to be the last person to ever buy a cell phone, or until the government forces me to purchase one. My wife does have a Trac phone and she will have me take it with me sometimes and I hate keeping up with it plus, I forget to turn it on anyway. I finding myself hating technology more and more all the time.
