I just saw a TV show on the Spike network featuring the M35A2 military truck. I had no idea that these trucks our government pays a lot of money for are often sold at auction after just a few years of service with very low miles for ridiculously low amounts of money.  How low are the prices? $3000 - $6000. How much does the government pay for them? This is just a guess but when a standard 4×4 Ford Pickup now cost $30,000 or more these truck probably cost $70,000 - $100,000.

The thought of driving a new car off a sales lot and automatically loosing  25% of it’s value is bad, but it’s even worse with these M35A2 Military trucks.  For buyers at auctions however these trucks are an incredible value.  While they are overkill for the average individual, farmers, and companies needing to haul heavy loads short distances should take advantage of these great deals. With them being so inexpensive I may just pick one up for surf fishing. Why damage a $50,000 Range Rover with salt water and sand when a $4000 M35A2 will do the same thing and look completely bad ass on the beach? The one caveat to my plan is that I do not believe my wife would want one in the driveway.

Just a few photos of my Daughter and I surf Fishing at Cape Henlopen State Park.

For about $60 a year Delaware residents can purchase a Surf Fishing License Plate for 4×4 vehicles allowing them to drive on the beaches.

Are you thinking “How will I Sell my House in Rehoboth Beach Delaware?”

The number one solution to your question is to price it right! No matter how hard you market an overpriced home it will not sell. Today’s home buyers are armed with better knowledge than ever before. They know how long your house has been on the market, They know what other homes in your neighborhood have recently sold for and they know that there is a foreclosure or short sale just down the street from your house with an owner who needs to sell.

Do you need to sell? Are you willing to price your home 25% below the other homes in your neighborhood? If not you may just be wasting your time.

RehobothDelawareRealEstate.com was  launched just a few days ago and is now on its way to the first page ofGoogle for the keyword Rehoboth Delaware Real Estate as of April 7th 2009 it is at position 283.  My task now is to skin the site so that it looks a little more appealing before it climbs high enough to attract any traffic. Currently the site has no style what-so-ever but all of the features are functional.

I’m in love with exact match domain names. Rarely do you get an opportunity to purchase a domain name like RehobothDelawareRealEstate.com, Most of the great exact match domain names were taken years ago. I guess no one else did their homework and I’m surprised I did not find this one myself years ago.  All along I thought the best domain name to own for my market would be rehobothbeachrealestate.com but when I did the research I  found that RehobothDelawareRealEstate.com actually receives six times the search traffic. I’m assuming it’s because  so many of our buyers are from out of the state and type Rehoboth Delaware Real Estate into the search engines rather than Rehoboth Beach Delaware Real Estate or just Rehoboth Beach Real Estate.  Anyway, I was surprised to see that it was available and as soon as I realized it was I purchased it and another eight similar domain names that I plan on using as local magazines and restaurant guides.

I pay $112.00 a month for Dish Network Satellite TV but I still have to sit through 15 minutes of TV Commercials for every half hour of programming and on top of that the TV commercials are loud as hell.  So basically I’m paying to be annoyed. Did I mention that of the 400+ channels I receive I only watch three? CNN, Discovery and History. When I called and asked if I could just pay for the three channels they told me to go fly a kite so I’m stuck paying for a lot of crap I don’t use.

To be fair to Dish Network I believe the same can be said for most TV no matter who your service provider is. I bet if Americans agreed to quit watching for a week we could force the programmers to change their evil ways but what are the chances of Americans ungluing themselves from the tube for more than a few hours? Not a chance, they have us where they want us. Fat dumb and glued to the couch.

Tonight I start my personal protest. No TV for a month. I’ll let you know how it goes.

I need to send a fax but my Hewlett Packard printer/fax machine tells me I am low on Magenta Ink and won’t let me send it.  WTF? You don’t need printer ink to send a fax.

Thanks HP,  for sending me out in the snow to buy another overpriced ink cartridge.

To sell a product at most larger retailers in the USA you need a UPC Bar Code on your product.  Unfortunately there is only one company that controls the UPC Bar codes that the majority of these retailers require.  Anytime you have one company controlling an entire market you have a monopoly. Why is this a bad thing? Because this company can charge what ever they want for their product.  The UPC Barcode technology is nothing spectacular, the databases of product are also nothing very high tech yet this single company has its tentacles on almost every product sold in the USA. What type of prices are we talking about? My sister and I have a small Natural Soap company. This UPC Bar Code company wants $1000 to register and another $200 a year just for our small mom and pop company. As a company gets larger they charge additional fees.  This company does not print your UPC label for you, they don’t help advertise your product all they do is issue you a bar code and put you in a database and for this they want $1000 up front and $200 a year for the rest of the products life.  This certainly seems like highway robbery to me when I’ll build you an entire website and host it for a year for less than $1000 and spend a few weeks working on it. This company charges $1000 to click a few keys, issue you a code and transfer your product info into a database and then another $200 a year to keep you in the database. By the way the $1000 setup and $200 a year is just for the smallest of companies, larger companies pay significantly more.  To learn more about the UPC Barcode Monopoly take a look at their website.

I’ve been setting up a Magento E-commence website for my sisters new Natural Soap company for the last two weeks and while I love many of the features of Magento there are also a number of items that make absolutely no sense.

Today’s Gripe:

Magento E-mail templates.

Just about the time you think you have the store up and running and start processing test orders you realize that the confirmation e-mails are branded with Magento icons, Magento  contact e-mails, Magento alt tags and the wording “Thank you for shopping at Demo Store”.

At first I thought this is no big deal, there has to be one section of the admin area where I can change all of these settings in one fell swoop. No such luck.  There are over 20 e-mail templates that have to be manually updated and then selected in another section of the admin to make them function properly. Rather than a two minute click of the keys to add a default email address, store name, logo image, alt tag and phone number prepare for at least half an hour even if you know exactly what you are doing and as much as two hours if you have to figure it out on your own + another hour of testing to make sure all of the e-mail forms work and go where they are supposed to when the submit button is hit.

In the end it’s all good, Magento is an $8000 piece of software if you purchase the enterprise edition and full support.  I guess if I get something almost as good for free I should not be complaining too much. Still, three hours is three hours that I could have been doing something productive like watching TV;)

This was the first time I noticed this and I spend at least 10 hours on Google a day. Anyone else notice the new Twitter results on Google?

Looking for Rehoboth Beach Carpet? RehobothBeachCarpet.com was launched this afternoon.

I remember one of the 1990’s motivational speakers saying something to the effect of “Most successful people have failed at dozens of business plans before they were able to succeed and what separates them from most people is that 1. They actually try in the first place and 2. They continue to try after repeated failures.” If this is true maybe my third attempt will be a success.  I’ve done the keyword research, I’ve checked out the competition and found a supplier to work with.  BarSoapNatural.com will be an online Handmade Natural Soap store. I’m a big fan of exact match domain names and I was surprised at how few were available in the soap field. BarSoapNatural may be a mouthful but the traffic is decent and the competition is mild. I’m thankful that most of the other soap sellers are better at making soap than promoting it.
