Nope.  Using my wifes.  I don't think I will ever open/reopen an EBay account ever again.

The thing that confuses me is in a free market how the hell has competition not set in for eBay? Very frustrating...

[MacPCS]

Hooray, I'm winning!

[belusnecropolis]

Oh yeah there we go.

[peteyz24]

So are you the one I was in that fun little bidding war with?

[belusnecropolis]

Sometimes it is fun to pretend the internet is a stripper to throw money at. 

[peteyz24]

Yes it is, lol.   Wonder who is next in line to make it rain?

[belusnecropolis]

Totally.

[juant87]

Ergen, with 25 billion...at least he could win something

I'd even let Charlie Ergen win the auction, as long as he didn't have any stupid requirements like wanting veto control over our anti DISH postings.

I would laugh my ass off if they dropped off a couple tons of Nextel waste at the parking lot of Dish HQ, pull a sweet gangster move. "Here is your network, buddy.".

I am quite impressed by the bidding already.  From the auction proceeds and the daily sponsorship the past several weeks, the countdown clock has been the most profitable aspect of the Nextel iDEN network in years.

Now that we are down to the final week, what do you think Nextel iDEN will request for its last meal?  Perhaps a lunchpail sandwich and a thermos of coffee.  Or maybe some chicken wings and a vial of crack.

Emmmm...chicken wings. However, I didn't know I'm supposed to have a vial of crack with it.

PTT using drug dealers speak very highly of that combo.

I had a 300 something rating with a 100% feedback and ebay shut down my account.  Screw em.

no explanation, no nothing, logged on one day to find my account permanently suspended, along with my paypal account. I was a member for 4 years with a perfect feedback.

I just posted on the S4GRU Calendar a chat scheduled next weekend to count down the end of the iDEN Network.  More details:  http://s4gru.com/index.php?/calendar/event/25-s4gru-live-chat-countdown-the-final-hours-of-iden/

 

 

Also, don't miss you opportunity to Sponsor the final 24 hours of the iDEN countdown clock.  We have an E-Bay auction going on here:  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300923642492

 

Hope to see you next week in The Lounge!

Wish I had to the money to bid. And I think my girlfriend would kill me if I spent our Saturday night together on here, but it may be worth the risk. To bad I wont be at home when its shut down. The tower I connect to is 800 okayed and I'd like to see if it just turns on that night/morning. May have to take a drive home on sunday to see if its broadcasting.

 

One question though, Is it being turned off during the day of Sunday the 30th, or is saturday the 29th the last day and being turned off throughout the day? Cause if sunday is the day its being turned off, wouldnt the chat be more appropriate sunday night?

[Phillycat]

Will there be a 21 chirp salute when the network is put to rest?

No, as the network goes dark, we just all together sarcastically yell, "Nextel, where you at?"

I have like 3 old Nextel phones.  I saw them ripping panels off my local towers.   No more Nextel signal!!  Come on 800

Sprint has announced that starting at 12 Midnight on Sunday June 30th, the Nextel network will start going offline and Saturday, June 29th will be the last day of service. So the countdown is counting down to that very moment...the official end of the iDEN network.

 

Our chat that is scheduled is kind of like the New Years Eve Countdown party as we watch the clock count down to zero. So it needs to be at that time.
