has anyone seen a loud rock show in that space at the opera house before? someone told me it had shit acoustics and was really made for.... opera. duh. i wonder how precision rock will go down in reverb central...

i have a ticket anyway... just making conversation

yeah i think he was behind the bar.

in all seriousness, i think he was influenced by the quality of my photos. aha ha.

depends on what yr proposing to do (how mature the idea is, if the idea needs to be reworked to fit into filesize limitations etc etc )

if you asked an agency they might change you somewhere in the $thousands.

if you knew a freelancer that could knock them out in a few hours it might cost you somewhere in the $hundreds.

one thing to remember is if you are running the ads on a commercial network, they will have requirements in filesize and specifics in the way the file is setup - geeky code stuff that makes them work when you click on them. learning how to use the software and making them yourself in a few hours may be harder than you think.

it continues....

Hello again,

If you wish to go on with this deal and in order to open a case at ebay, please send me your full name and shipping address and they will contact you with more details,I'm a serious seller and if you don't want to buy it just let me know, I have other buyers waiting for me to contact them.

Thank you

to which i replied...

Hi Vanessa,

Please dont sell the item - I am definitely keen. Happy to pay the full amount.

I do need to know what colour it is though. As a woman yourself, I'm sure you can appreciate the importance of colour. My wife is particularly keen on lilac, or magenta. If its white we may have a problem.

Also, re ''full shipping address'' - I'm not sure what you mean, do you mean the address of my shipping company? Can we do it via train? Shipping sounds expensive.

Many thanks for helping me so far and for showing patience and understanding. I did the google on ebay and they seem like a reputable world wide site.

Thanks,

Pete

in the process of looking for a car, I've jagged a (common) scam artist. Any ideas on how i can string him along further? Here's the email thread so far... (my emails in bold)... hehe....

Hello, First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my car. I sell at this price(AU$7,000.00) because i just finished the divorce with my husband. When the divorce has finished i own this car. Now as a women i don't need. This car is in excellent working conditions, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage, slightly used in 100% working and looking conditions and comes with a clear title, 3 months transferable warranty.

From the beginning you have to know that for the payment I request ONLY secure pay, I prefer the payment to be done using eBay services. We will use a safe payment method because I am affiliated at eBay and I have a purchase protection account for $20.000.00Au. The final price that I want for this car is AU$7,000.00 including shipping and handling. PS If you are interested in buying it please provide me your full name and address so I can initiate the deal through eBay.

I will wait your answer(if you are interested to buy) very soon!! Thank you and have a nice day

I have lost the link to the original car and I forget which website I saw it on. Could you send me the link to the car?**

Hello again,

I'm really sorry for you but i think is to late for inspection because i'm not in the country for the moment (like you know i just finished the divorce with my husband and i have moved to my parents home in New York/10001/USA for a while.)

And ship company already prepared the car for ship. I want to tell you that is to late for inspection and the only way that we can close this deal is to make me a deposit of ($4.000.00Au) to eBay so i could start the ship. In case that you are still interested please email me your final answer.

I will ship my car from Darwin/Australia You will have 15 days from the time you receive the car to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not. If by any reason, you will not be satisfied for the car, you will return the car to shipping company with no xpence. I will pay for shipping. Thank you for all and if you have other questions please reply to my email.

Hi Vanessa,

I hope everything is going ok. Divorce is such a hard thing to go through. A friend of mine is in a very similar situation and we have been supporting them a lot lately. Stay positive and I'm sure it will all work out for the best.

Great to hear you have made the move to New York though. Its beautiful this time of year!

Now, in regards to the car. I am definitely still interested as the Forester is our preferred model, over the Nissan X-Trail. Also the 2005 model is a particularly good one due to some incremental engine improvements.

I think I am just about ready to transfer the money but can you confirm what colour the car is?

Also what account do I transfer the money to? I must confess I am new to computers so have not ordered anything from ebay or anything like that.

Thanks,

Pete**
