This is arguably the ultimate War board game: nearly 3,000 counters and 12 square feet of mapboards covering the entirety of World War II. This game is also out of print and, according to GMT Games, its maker, will remain so for at least two years.

I had previously bid $175 for an opened copy of this game and lost, so this auction was a real find. The vendor was responsive to my additional payment for first-class postage and insurance; and he shipped the item quickly and well-packed.

I couldn’t be happier with the purchase or vendor. If Wisconsin wasn’t a million miles away, I’d visit his store. As it is, he’s added to the favorite sellers list. I’ll definitely buy from him again.

I love iTunes, but it’s a pain in the butt to run it while I am working. So, i figured, why not patch my iPhone into the Sirius boom box I recently purchased?

The problem is, the iPhone’s headphone jack is recessed a bit, making it difficult to plug an off-the-shelf mini-to-mini cable into it.

eBay to the rescue, as usual. This item is a fairly cheap cable with a take-up reel snapped into its middle. Unfortunately, the cable itself is very tricky; I find I need to fiddle with it a bit to get it to work. But when it works, it works well.

The price was fair, it was shipped quickly, the item mostly works, and I’d probably use this vendor again.
