American Idol – Do All Fat, Baldheaded Black Dudes w/ Glasses Look Alike?
Separated at birth???
Randy Jackson

Come on now, I just tweeted about the new blog design today and this is the response I got back from one of my Twitter followers…
OK, come on guys I can’t really dis Randy Jackson but he got all the money and all I got was the looks, I am just way better looking than him LMAO. Dude, I am NOT Randy Jackson. Just because I am fat, black, bald and wear glasses does NOT mean I look like the guy from American Idol!!!
I say this because a few years back when I was working for Accenture consulting they would have an office Idol competition and they tapped me to play Randy. So I had to sit there and drink my Coke and say "dawg" alot and move my hands when I talk.
This goes out to my buddy @GiveMeStrength on Twitter…I am not Randy Jackson, I just play him for hire on American Idol knock-off shows and occasionally at Halloween parties.

You don't look anything alike, Dawg!
Well you know what they say “dawg”…lol (very funny post.)
When eBay loses traffic and money, they just raise fees on the loyal sellers who stay there. When we lose traffic and money, we are expected to just lose even more. One of these days eBay, you're just gonna make me mad enough to leave. About your NEW fees – Oh, yeah, it's really gonna help me. With the new plan, I can now pay $15.95 per month store subscription fee and $60 a month for 300 fixed price listing instead of the $15.00 I now pay for 300 store inventory listings, (because eBay is doing away with 'store listings') OR
I can pay $49.95 per month store subscription fee and get 300 fixed price listings for my $15.00. And remember, this doesn't even account for Final Value Fees. When the current plan ends and the new plan starts, my fees will actually INCREASE by $35 – $45 minimum per month. Thank you eBay for saving me even more money!
I know, I know, you say I'll get better search position because with NO more 'store listings', they will ALL become 'fixed price listings' and exposure will be better and equal. Seems like I've heard all this before….
and yes Free Auction listing fees – IF I start all auctions less than $1.00. Well, see the graphic below for how eBays traffic has been. Less people bidding on an item still means a lower sales price. I've sold a ton of items for .01 and do I need to tell you just how rich I'm gettting? If you didn't catch the sarcasm, you should have. Again, we'll see how this all turns out…
At a time when margins are slimmer than ever on eBay, they up our fees and/or lower the start price. Constantly dealing with bidders who want FREEBAY instead of EBAY is hard enough, now we get to enjoy our small margins get even smaller. Great move, eBay, hope your pockets stay full, because ours will just be emptier!
AARRGGHH!!!!!!

Yeah dawg! You don't look like randy at all. LOL! But sometimes it can come out as a compliment since they think that you look like a celeb.
