if you ever order on Amazon you know you get like 100 options from a bunch of different vendors for anything. So i bought an XBOX for like $299. Awesome right? Well some smart company lists the OLD/ORIGINAL XBOX for $299 hoping a schmuck like me will click on it like a moron.

So i got COD, Mass effect, 2 controllers and an old XBOX today :mad::mad:

Wonder if they will take it back

You should always ask a nerd before you buy online

Actually you may not have been jipped. Considering the shipping weight of the original Xbox was approximately 3.5 tons, and the only two sellers who list Xboxes both ship for $3.99, you just paid about $100 for the console and a total of $203.98 for shipping.

Be glad you didn't buy from the person selling them for $459.99

one of the worst thing about amazon is how poorly the separate the amazon products from the vendors who overprice everything, have absurd shipping costs and terrible return policies.

always look for that 'sold by amazon' fine print text. otherwise you might as well go buy it at some store and pay the tax.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree.  He is solid. Another player I think is underrated and with good reason (I will explain): Monroe Freeling UGA Many have him the fifth-rated OT, but I would put him at 2 or 3.  Reason?  He played the season with an ankle issue and still kicked arse.  Here is a write-up that describes him--the injury, in my view, has him rated lower than if healthy all season. OT Monroe Freeling Georgia | 6'7" | 315 lbs Ht:6'7" Wt:315 lbs Class:JR Age:21 (25-Jul-2004) Monroe Freeling earned Second-Team All-SEC honors from league coaches for his performance during the 2025 season. Starting 12 of 13 games, he was twice named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week after dominant showings against Auburn and Texas, notably grading out at 80 percent with zero pressures allowed against the Longhorns. During the 2025 season, he managed a nagging ankle injury suffered against Kentucky but remained a cornerstone for an offense that ranked first nationally in fourth-down conversions. As a draft prospect, he is recognized for his exceptional reach, mobility in pass protection, and "road-grading" power in the running game. While he has proven to be a reliable starter at left tackle, he also offers significant versatility having started at multiple positions along the line during the 2024 season. Here are some others I like (mostly developmental, but we have at least a year--we hope--at RT)   Your boy: The Panthers were looking at Barber at the SR Bowl practices, I believe.  Good run blocker--needs work in pass pro.  A RT candidate? Shelton would be an ideal swing OT. I really like Bowry.  Footwork is huge for a T, and we do a lot of zone blocking.

      We could/should re-sign BC and Nijman and draft 2.  There are 5 or 6 expected to go after round 1 that I really like.   Some are a year away, so I would give Moton an apprentice now.

      I think (April 2025) the Panthers already gave Ickey his 5th year deal for 2026, a $17m fully guaranteed.  This, in my view, eliminates the practicality of signing a free agent, as if any ever make it to free agency anyway.  So we have a year before deciding on Ickey's next deal / future.
