Online Scams - Does Ebay really care?

Mon, 29 Jan 2007 07:34:04 -0500

A few days ago I decided to bid on a new MP4 player from ebay powerlister blown-z. To my surprise, fraud is quite common online these days (chuckle).

Turns out there is a MASSIVE Chinese MP3/MP4 hacked drive blacklist product market in the US on the EBAY website. In fact, after doing some research I discovered that Ebay has a growing problem with fraudulent listings particularly in the electronics market.

You can view my account and BASTING to blown-z at this link:

A message to online scammers and fraudulent business owner: Some of us don't care how much it costs, it's just the thought that counts...

As much as I like his music, Willie Nelson has sure proven that age & money does not make you smart, classy or a good role model. At least he wasn't dumb enough to be driving himself like others amongst the entertaining elite, such as Mel Gibson (not naming any names).

I'm sure all will still be entertained by the talent of these individuals, I wonder if Pete Rose will ever catch a break?

Most expensive guitar pick?

Sat, 02 Sep 2006 15:11:32 -0500

I am sure that some collectors would pay top dollar for some hard to find guitar picks, but this one is the highest I have seen in a while at $135.00 for a single meteorite guitar pick.

Ebay shows top dollar single picks usually around $60-$80 for a rare signature pick, such as a Glenn Frey or Kiss pick.

Just wondering if anyone can top the $135.00 pick?

Website updates & order page

Fri, 01 Sep 2006 18:14:52 -0500

I am very happy to announce that I will be able to begin taking orders from around the world again today. The website has been through some changes as well. Ordering should be easier than before, with a pop-up image ( http://woodenpicks.com/selections.jpg ) of most of the wooden picks that have been made in the past.

This blog is a new addition, and will probably replace the forum shortly. I am currently working on the next video lesson and will have it up soon.

Sincerely,

Ike Gilbert
