Ebay is really unreliable. a lot of sellers who sell used shit don't put proper descriptions. recently bought a laptop and the details weren't very accurate.

I have stopped purchasing anything of value from Ebay, even when they are offering steep discounts. What is the use in getting a 30% discount, when the product itself can be unreliable?

i don't like ebay's fees for selling either. exorbitant fees. it's going to be something like 14% of your revenues.

I don't really sell that much on eBay anymore due to the high fees, but it's still unfortunately pretty much the best place to sell stuff, though I wish it wasn't. As for having trouble with buying on eBay, you've just got to pick the sellers wisely. A major chain could also easily just say you broke it and it's not covered under the warranty too. If you ever buy something that isn't as described you can send it back and you'll get your money back off PP in most cases.

use craigslist mate.. if you are trying to get rid of your junk. i don't sell junk though, just stuff i buy from a wholesaler to re-sell.

I don't think age justifies racism in any form. On other hand racism controversies happens daily in professional sports. Real problem is I don't think this  "ban" would be legal one way or another. I bet people are just pissed since he was talking about Magic Johnson.

magic has already stated that he is open to the idea of purchasing the clippers. and there are rumors that oprah will team up with larry elison (i think he's the guy who made his fortune from oracle) to buy the clippers.

According to Forbes, Oprah Winfrey's net worth is around $3 billion. She could buy the LA Clippers on her own, without any partnership with other billionaires such as Larry Ellison.

she would need to sell big part of her business first. I bet she doesn't keep necessary amount of money to buy it in cash.  

I very much doubt Oprah would shell out all that money on her own. Why we should even want to buy it? She's just probably getting involved in the whole debacle to have something to talk about.

probably because NBA franchises are extremely profitable. and you do know that it makes her a more interesting person right? there's some sort of allure that comes with being a celebrity and owning a franchise... and that only helps her profit even more.

wtf? magic johnson doesn't have anything to do with the forced sale/repercussions. it's because he's black.

btw, that new fat/lazy kid on californication instead of the daughter.. holy shit, night and day difference. the show's a lot better without her.

oh yeah, a lot of guys hate the chick hank is after.. what's her face. they probably want to kill her too, but californication isn't as pouplar. tonight's episode reminds me of this.

10 Potential Candidates To Buy The L.A. Clippers
http://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenhausen/2014/04/30/10-candidates-to-buy-the-l-a-clippers


So You've Decided to Buy the Los Angeles Clippers

But let’s say the NBA prevails and Sterling is forced to sell. Now you will be competing against the richest of the rich. This, more than anything about the specific finances of the Clippers, will drive the price. There are only 30 NBA teams, and only two located in the megalopolis of Los Angeles. Many teams have been in the same hands for decades, and the chance to buy is rare. Before the Milwaukee Bucks were sold for $550 million last month, Forbes valued the franchise at $405 million. The magazine values the Clippers at $575 million—and the team will almost certainly sell for closer to $1 billion.

http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-05-02/so-youve-decided-to-buy-the-los-angeles-clippers

yep, this is basically what i said earlier in the thread. being in the LA market is big, so there will be plenty of bidders.

Of course, the "who is bidding now" will happen before, during, and after the court case(s)
This might remain unsettled even after the 2016 political elections....?

it will likely drag on, and if stern is battling cancer, he probably won't make it past the conclusion.. in which case his bequeathed will inherit the franchise. the NBA has said they want a sale and no inheritance - isn't that a bit extreme btw?

Donald Sterling sure is fucked, all around fucked. He's going to die now not as a legend but a rich racist loser. He was complaining about his little golddigger taking a picture with the legend Magic Johnson. I mean, he must really have some pent up aggression if he's going to flip out about a black guy with his chick when that black guy is one of the biggest names to ever play the sport he was involved on for most of his life!

So sad, I hope the other owners vote him out and sell off his stake. It would be awesome if someone like like Dennis Rodman or Jay-Z bought his portion!  
For sure Dennis is broke and cant afford it but Jay can! And he's owned a small portion of a basketball team before. I wouldn't be surprised if hes been reaching out to pick up Donalds part. He's going on tour with Beyoncé this year, average ticket price?? $336!! Smiley He can afford it.

Actually, I bet he's going to buy at least some of Donalds share.

Anyone want to give me some odds?



i think it's either magic's group or oprah's.

also, interestingly enough about stern.. he's also racist to whities. he didn't want to pay JJ reddick because "no white guy is worth that much money." he's a strange man who sees everything through the filter of race.

Apparently he's a SUPERBREAD of human. lol... But, Nah.. Magic cant take part in this, the comment spurred from pictures with him. I think professionally he'll stay away from this one.  And Oprah?? She buys NBA teams?

magic has already stated that he is open to the idea of purchasing the clippers. and there are rumors that oprah will team up with larry elison (i think he's the guy who made his fortune from oracle) to buy the clippers.

btw, i only care about may 20th, when the lakers get their pick. clippers can burn in hell for all i care. we have something like a 20% chance to land a top 3 pick.. which means a franchise-type player. i consider wiggins, embid, and exum to be franchise type players, so i really hope we land a top 3.

Think they will go after Carmelo or Lebron? I think Carmelo is more of a possibility than Lebron...

lebron won't come to LA. carmelo will imo either go to chicago or stay in new york.. i think more likely he's going to chicago though.

i really hope he doesn't come to LA. i don't think he's a great fit, and he's already 30+ now. if we don't end up with a top 3 pick, i'm okay with trading our pick for a player who is youngish and can contribute.. like kevin love. we could just get him in free agency though.. just build the pieces until 2015. kobe's contract is killing the lakers' cap space though.

Oprah is the queen of big mouth phonies, why can't she stick with her failing cable network?


i don't like oprah that much either. imo she's in showbusiness for owning her own empire.

eh looks like no new episode of californication. i'm glad the show's ending - i think it's a little bit long in the tooth. just the same rehashed shit, even if it's still funny.

Me too. It was so funny when it first started, but the past few seasons have been bad. This season so far is suprisingly much better than the last season IMO. Maybe because Hank's daughter hasn't been in it. She annoys me.

House of Lies is the same way. Started off good, already out of material.

yeah she's kind of annoying. but i'm not an extremist like some crazy fans of tv shows. for example, the actress who plays skylar has received death threats from fans.. for portraying her character.

what makes californication stupid is its repeating cycle over and over. hank tries to get back with karen, and then some unforeseen shit happens, and that plan gets nixed. karen gets mad at hank, other shit happens, the daughter whines and bitches, hank goes on booze binges and bangs chicks, and then eventually he does something sweet or kind, and karen forgives him. then he tries to get back with her.. rinse and repeat.

Wait which one is Skylar? Death threats??? What type of loser makes death threats about actors' roles. Omg how pathetic

she plays hank's wife on breaking bad.. the one that is always bitching and nagging. a lot of tv watchers are misogynists. here's the article she wrote herself http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/24/opinion/i-have-a-character-issue.html

there are a few other female characters that people hate so much that they threaten.. i think hank's daughter, whatever her name is, is one of them.

Oh yeah, she was annoying at times... But I always just thought that meant she was playing her roll perfectly as the nagging wife. Did you hear about when Walt's Carr got broken into in real life, right when they were filming the last episodes, and his scripts got stolen? He was freaking out about that..

i think i remember that story, yeah. also remember the alt ending where walter white wakes up as the dad from malcolm in the middle. man, breaking bad was such an original show. i think it's my favorite tv show ever.

Think it will somehow be brought back? Did you see how much money the producers were offered to keep the show going?? Crazy money...

definitely not. i think if vince gilliam and the team had the wherewithawl to end the show on its own terms, then he's going to stick by it.. instead of chasing the dollar. besides, how can it be brought back? walt's already dead.. would ruin continuity of the show.

What issues did you have?

Once I bought a laptop from Ebay, which got damaged just after two weeks. The seller refused to issue me a replacement, saying that it was my fault. Contacted the Ebay staff, but no use there.

ebay is really unreliable. a lot of sellers who sell used shit don't put proper descriptions. recently bought a laptop and the details weren't very accurate.
