There is a strong correlation between the amount of time spent browsing ebay.com for weird, cheap crap and the amount of outrageous shipping costs charged on your mom's credit card (or occasionally from own checking account per Insta-Transfer).

One of my old roomates is/was a professional ebayer (seriously, that's what he does for a living now), and he loves to f*ck people with shipping costs.

you send in your photo and they will paint an original oil painting based off any of the 1400+ Chinese propaganda posters they have on hand for $165.

    * USD 169 to 269 per painting, depending on canvas size and model complexity *
    * Two formats: regular 24x15 in (61x38 cm) or large 32x21 in (81x54 cm)

A little pricy I will admit, but hell.  If we can split the cost 25+ ways. . .

Is anyone as pumped about this as me?

[ECN]

So do the two of us have $20-40 as a start towards the funding of this most excellent project to thank Coach Ron Prince for the wonderful progress he has shown in bringing our most beloved Kansas State Wildcats back to a position of perennial national prominence?  Will you commit to winning in the same way Head Coach Ron Prince has with your donation of $10-20?

[ECN]

I like the "purple sun" one.

It has to be one using his whole body.  Send them the picture of him standing with the three guys at the golf outing.  That would be really nice in oil.
