Costco no longer sells the eneloop or other LSD batteries, at least in
Northern California.

When they did, it was eight AA and two AAA and some adapters for C&D and
a charger, though for a brief period they sold just the battery assortment.

The eneloops also used to be sold at Wal-Mart, but no more.

See "http://tinyurl.com/eneloopthomas". $9.97 for four, but the shipping
is very high.

Amazing that these batteries seem to be about the only technology item
that's going _up_ in price.

I did see one Sanyo digital camera that came with two eneloop batteries
and a charger. Sanyo is actually the world's largest digital camera
manufacturer, but they mainly manufacture for other companies, and don't
sell much under their own brand.

Duracell makes 'precharged' batteries, their equivalent to the eneloops
(somebody says they actually ARE eneloops, just rebranded). I'm satisfied with
them.

http://www.amazon.com/Duracell-Charged-Rechargeable-Batteries-4-Pack/dp/B000XSA60I
4 AA cells/$12.06+shipping+tax , but you can find them cheaper.

Consider the possibility that every single item that in any way involves the use
of electricity is made by a single monstrous factory complex in China.

I could have sworn I saw them in the Rancho Cordova Store just last week.

The trick is to ship via <calculated cost - varies by buyer location>.
You can add a S/H to achieve any total S/H you want. For items < lb,
you can also simply add a few ounces to the input weight.

For me, Paypal is the only way to go. I'd never buy anything off eBay
without a credit card funded Paypal payment. It's the only way to
guard against crooked sellers.

It worked for causal sellers, but those selling numerous items soon
realize money orders and checks really cost more in the long run with
respect to time.

I've had a few pick up items, but due to the time involved with setting
up appointments, etc, I soon realized it was a very time consuming
inconvenience. Along that line, it amazes me that someone would drive
10 miles to "save" $3-5 in S/H. For large items not easily mailed, it
obviously makes sense, but for smaller, mailable items, pickups
typically make no sense for the buyer or seller.

If there is an ample market within a relatively short distance,
Craigslist makes much sense. However, eBay can provide potential
buyers from all over the US or even the world, if you so choose,
provided the items are mailable with a minimum of work to package /
shipping cost.

Fuggetit. These whiners don't have a clue. DW&I've bought and sold
on eBay since the late '90's. I wouldn't take a check or money order
from anybody but Jesus and would have to have some reliable way of
confirming his identity. I'm more and more inclined toward Paypal only.
Craig's list is fine for those looking for an electronic "yard sale" and
who're willing to put up with the hassles of local pickup.

I think you're right. When I'm shopping on eBay I won't even look at
listings if the seller won't take PayPal. And when I'm selling, you
can't bid without a PayPal account.

Sure you can, though that doesn't necessarily make it a good idea.

Some will.

It can. But if the items aren't big ticket items, I'd go ahead and
ship them when I received payment. I never had a payment bounce.

> And how do you handle foreign transactions and currency exchange?

Just a guess, but with an International Postal Money Order? You can
cash it at the post office, when you go to ship the package.

Instant is always good for sales. But not everybody has a PayPal
account and/or a credit card, either.

Washington Post (jan 22, 2009, today), front page

title: "Regulatory System Allows Banks to Avoid Enforcement"
subtitle: "Firms can switch from U.S. to State Oversight"

First paragraph:

"At least 30 banks since 2000 have escaped federal regulatory action by walking
away from their federal regulators and moving under state supervision, taking
advantage of a long standing system that allows banks to choose between federal
and state oversight, according to a Washington Post review".

The guy is for real. The story is not. For a fee you can learn where
to buy stuff on the Internet. He's no genius. He is you.

And you just propagated his spam yet again by not clipping out his link

I love scallops, but I'm usually put off by their price - $8.99 a pound
or more. Through Saturday night, Kroger stores have "Bay Scallops"
(farmed, not from the sea) for only $2.99 per 12 ounce package. This
equals just $3.99 per pound.

I was able to pick up 8 packages, though I did leave 5 out for other
people. For supper today, I made a garlic butter pasta with scallops.

Since my Dad loves these things, I also went up to the service desk and
got a rain check for 40 more packages of them at the $2.99 price. Store
manager says he will put in a special order for them, and call me when
they come in. I'll keep them in the deep freeze until my Dad's birthday.

So if your local store is out, try getting a rain check at the service
desk, as long as you've got the freezer space.

''WOW, I really know you have something great here. I can take this
and run with it! Truly a awesome job!"

Thomas F. Gagola . New York

"I was looking for a business that was "All ready to go" and all I had
to do was implement it and continue to work it, but that I wouldn't't
have to pay monthly fees. Another requirement was not to pay an
enormous amount for the business that I would be starting. Add in an
ability to create my own flexible schedule and an unlimited amount of
money I could make (depending upon how much time I wanted to put into
the business) and I had found what I had been looking for. Now that I
have bought and implemented the course, I am very much impressed by
how thorough the information has been in putting it all together. The
concept, the manual, the forms, the web site, the marketing materials
and suggestions have all contributed to my being able to build a
substantial business that is continuing to grow. Thanks, Michael, for
a way to "have a life" and make an income all at the same time!"

Jane S. California

"I would recommend the package to anyone who is ready to hit the
ground running with your own home-based business. I am well on my way
to meeting my professional and personal goals!"
