I really did not realise how uncomfortable my work chair had become until I visited K-Mart earlier and tried out one of their office chairs. The seat was so much more comfortable than the one in my office – which must be about four years old by now. Over the next few days I will go down to ‘The Warehouse’ and pick up a new one. In the interim I have placed an old blanket on the bottom which has improved things significantly too. I have also just checked out OfficeWorks and they seem to have some good chairs at a good price too… Maybe I should go shopping a bit later when I am ready to test out the trackers…

I have just checked a couple of auctions I am running on eBay (and yes, I know it seems that every second post has an item about eBay… This will change I am sure)… And I cannot believe some of the prices I am getting for things. A fingerprint reader I was given by Microsoft which is used and sells new for $100 is at $59 with four days to go. Some GPS and GPRS modules that I am selling used and mostly untested has five people watching it, whereas an auction for five GPRS trackers (which is is still worth about $4K except that I dont have cases and do not really want to support them only has one person watching them, even with a $50 start price.

In other words some things get much better prices than I would expect. Others get much lower interest than I would expect… When you are dealing with such a big system as eBay with so many people using it I am not surprised. Oh, and earlier when I was at the Post Office I picked up an Item I purchased on eBay. It was only shipped from the USA on friday. Not bad service!
