    These same stupid people sell on eBay.

    They'll post a 1989 Donruss baseball card of someone like Dan Gladden, with a starting bid of $2.99 and $3 shipping.

    These 1989-91 cards were so mass-produced that an entire set books for about $5, with the cards going for $.01. Some places literally are trying to GIVE them away.

    What's even worse are people who sell cards and such on eBay and MISSPELL the player's name! You search for Favre, you're not going to get any listings for Brett Farve or Brett Faver. IT'S ON THE DAMN CARD, PEOPLE!!

    Speaking of Craigslist, I've seen curios around here for $150 -- nice curios, too. I've talked one down to $100. Then someone posts an almost identical curio, calls it RARE, and wants $250 for it. There are about six of the same curio for sale in the same location.

    Just do a little homework, for Christ's sake.

    1.) Provide a detailed description of your item.

    2.) Be willing to negotiate a final selling price.

    3.) Make sure to take a photo of your penis.

    P.T. Barnum would have loved Craigslist. He could've gotten a PT Cruiser.

    Email them to your dad! He can print them out.

    Or I did this trick at MSG Sunday -- have them scan the barcode from your phone. If you can get the tickets to load up on your phone, it should work.

    The guy's nice enough to take them to my mom's work. So I'll send her the money tomorrow, she'll give it to him on Wednesday. Win win!

    The one that was shaped like Idaho? Or the one that claimed an affair with Tiger?
