WHY aren't you using a SNIPPING SERVICE? Some are as low as $0.05 for Each WINNING BID, NO WIN, NO FEE.

DB--My ebay account has a pass key involved because a few years back someone hacked into my paypal account and cleaned it out and changed my password on ebay. It was a real mess for about 2 weeks but it was resolved and I immediately attached this pass key to my account. You have to press a button on the device and a 6 number code appears. You then have 30 seconds to enter the correct code in order to access the account.
Works great but makes it inaccessible for a sniping service.
You can get them from paypal for a $5 fee.

well... it cleaned up pretty good. I got a little picky (literally) when cleaning it and slipped and caught my fingernail between the white stripes on the front (many curse words were said). i usually wear gloves and for some reason didnt this time. lesson learned.

Came out alright? That cleaned up real good! Can turn that around and relist it for, what was it, $333? Or sell it to Kevin.
But I'd keep it. Nicely done.

thanks guys... yeah, its going right in my collection... doubt i will find another one of this quality for $50, I'm really happy with it - but would be even happier if I wouldnt have scratched it! smile

oh yeah, and for what I used... just warm water and non-concentrated dish soap (with no additives). Just soak it and take your time with a soft clothe/paper towels... just have to be careful with soak time & scrubbing as it can temporarily soften the surface (you shouldnt have to use much pressure). for the nooks & crannys around the rims, i prefer to carefully use a golf tee. the soft painted wood works good because the tip is rounded and not too sharp
