     Enter 2007….  The sellers of many items must be very happy these days.  There are so many more bidders going after the really special items.  There are more sellers, true, but the really special items get so many more bids now that it is much more difficult to find true bargains.           

     Of course, there is still one way to find underpriced items on ebay, and that is to find items that have been listed wrong.  That is, items that are misspelled.  Once an item is misspelled, fewer potential buyers are able to find the item, which translates into less competition, and therefore lower prices.  I liked the concept so much that I bought the site, listedwrong.com.  If you do get a great bargain at listedwrong.com, please contact us as we love to hear about your great deals.

I love playing Blackjack, and most of the time I win. But I’ve got one big problem with the game… I get a ridiculous amount of 12s.

This time, it was so bad that the dealer noticed. He started counting the number of 12s that he dealt me. Within a half hour period I had ten 12s. Most of them were 10-2, but some were 8-4, 9-3, even a couple of 6-6s. And of course, when I hit on a 12 I get a ten, so I bust. And if I don’t hit, the dealer winds up with something between 17 and 21 and I lose. It’s a no-win situation for me and it’s really pissed me off.

Another problem I had was with 10s and 11s. When the dealer is showing something less than a 10 and I have a hard 10 or 11 (hard meaning I don’t have an ace) I double. This past weekend I had five 10s and two 11s that I double. The highest card I got as the double card was a 4. What did that mean? After doubling a 10 I’d get a 2 and wind up with a 12. Or, I’d double an 11 and get an ace, and wind up with a 12. Or double a 10 and get a 3 or 4 and wind up with a 13 or 14, which doesn’t really help much.

All in all, I had a good time because I like playing the game. But if I was able to win more often, I’d enjoy it more. ;-)
