Good points about Gronk. Plus if he goes down it really looks like an awful pick. My league is full of sales guys, so they're already in trade mode. I am being offered: Brady and Ingram and I give up... Ryan and Yeldon My current team: QB: Ryan, Mariota RB: Jamaal, Yeldon, Mason, Robinson WR: AJ Green, Cooks, DeSean, Agholor, Perriman, Lockett TE: Walker, Gates K: Bailey D: Jets Should I take it?

Our draft was just 2 days ago. My buddy took Gronk 1st overall and is looking pretty damn smart right now.

I'm guessing you're looking for this... http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/metallica-to-release-incredible-illustration-of-almighty-monster-cthulhu/ No way to join now even if anyone wanted to since they've suspended memberships. I might buy if there are any left over(doubtful) and it's not too much $$ Edit: only 200 of these? They'll be gone in 5 seconds.

Best comment on that reddit thread.. "Lol why would anyone buy this? It does not even have a carrying handle. How am I supposed to take it to the beach?"

Ebay finally closed the case in my favor, once a rep actually saw I had delivery confirmation. What a joke. I hadn't noticed that the buyer had already left me negative feedback saying I wasn't trying to resolve, which was laughable. Ebay already removed it, but I'm tempted to message the guy calling him out but I won't. I had immediately re-sent him tracking once he said it didn't show, and I had UPS start a trace. Apparently if the item is under $250 ebay will side with the seller if they have tracking, so I wasn't even obligated to do that. Never heard back from the buyer, and the dude is buying stuff daily so something didn't add up. I don't buy/sell on ebay much and am very hesitant to do so after this.

Well said. I hope that rather nice house he has(had?) in Indiana is paid for, so his soon to be ex-wife and kids aren't homeless.

I went with a FB group of Everton fans and we toured Finch Farm. As we were about to go past the cafeteria Roberto stopped by, accepted a scarf (EvertonUSA), and talked with us for a few minutes. Couldn't have been nicer, and he had zero obligation to make an appearance.

Another Everton fan here. I had no particular reason to start supporting them a couple of years ago, I just liked their style of play and was drawn to them. Didn't even know much about Howard as I was just getting into football. I went to Goodison and Stamford Bridge earlier this year. It's amazing to see the passion in person.

Cool thank you. It looks like Ebay won't get involved until the buyer officially escalates it later this week if it comes to that. He did respond right away when I asked him why he didn't contact me first, and he said that him responding in any way automatically opened up a possible claim (or something like that). I figured all was good when I didn't hear back from him a few days after the package showed it was delivered. The thing I don't get - he has plenty of feedback, but was asking me how I shipped (ups or usps). I uploaded the tracking # immediately in ebay the day I sent it so I assumed he knew that and had been following the package to know the delivery date. So now he's telling me his ups driver happens to live nearby and he'll check with him.

Ugh. I sold a record on ebay (not someone here), and the guy is saying he didn't get it. I have delivery confirmation to his confirmed paypal address, and he filed a dispute with ebay without bothering to contact me. Any advice or am I screwed?

So do you also clean each record after every play as well?

This Sota turntable was posted on Reddit - the OP said they know the seller. Seems like a really good deal for someone. http://seks.craigslist.org/ele/5100911274.html

Very cool. As long as it compares to the Bias 2 (upgraded perf. pack cart?) then I'm happy. For $399 I'm psyched to finally be spinning records after many years. Now I just need to find an affordable receiver/speakers/pre-amp.

I just got an email about my RP1 - in the process of packing they noticed that the cartridge suspension failing, so they're going to put on a new Ortofon 2M Red and recommend that over a Rega replacement. Is that a good deal/bit of luck for me?

Cool - any pre-amp/speaker suggestions? I'm not sure I want to go the receiver route so I'm thinking of some Audioengine A5's. No idea what I should look for in a budget pre-amp though.

As a Toffee I'm glad they're keeping Stones. Yeah he'll be gone in a year or two but Chelsea can F right off. Very cool to see the nice reception Rooney got for Dunc's testimonial. So excited that the PL starts this weekend, AND there is now a Roku app for NBC Sports, so no more having to watch a crappy stream on a laptop!

Lol - oh well I like it and I'm an English soccer fan so it fits.

Just bought this Rega RP1 - it's my first turntable (well, since I had one growing up). The 2 year warranty and price seemed good since a new one goes for $649. http://www.soundstagedirect.com/rega-rp1-union-jack-performance-pack-certified-pre-owned-turntable-audio-equipment.shtml

Hey dude - please forgive my overreaction earlier. Took it completely wrong obviously. Anyways, truth about the KS stuff. I have a buddy who has $300+ tied up in a water heater on there for well over a year. It boggles the mind that they're allowed to sit on that much money for so long. Their initial delivery date is this December, so I think they'll catch hell if everyone doesn't get their Christmas turntable.

Hilarious. Way to crop my quote out of context. I guess it's easy to post memes instead of articulating a coherent response. My point was that it's nice to see such an interest in vinyl players. Even if that one is crap maybe it will get the buyers into something better. Or, and this may shock you, maybe some buyers will actually be happy with it!

I asked them on their Kickstarter page about exactly what you mention, and this is the response I got: "The tone arm is radially balanced, meaning that the force of gravity will not pull it in any given direction and the stylus will stay in the center of the groove, no matter where it is on the record." I know it's easy to mock their product, but I still think it's cool that they have almost a month left and their 50k goal is easily going to hit 7 figures.

The sites may get shut down, but they just grab new domain names and keep on keepin' on.

It's just as much on him. That backhand for the first goal can't go in.

Looks like Marty gets to finish his career in Tampa.

I'll go with...best ever goalie that's never won a Cup.
