For future reference:

If you find an auction on eBay for a poster that’s in mint condition, is officially made, is sealed, and was made in the U.S., here’s what it actually means: It’s a cruddy reproduction made in a North Korean sweatshop by a toddler using Paintshop Pro on a six year old Dell, was then shipped by UPS to the United States, was lost on the way in Texas, got rerouted to New Dehli, and then finally made its way to Ohio although partially water damaged, was then thrown out, was found by a smelly old man with nothing better to do than dive through dumpsters, was sold to a pawn shop, was then bought by someone who sells stuff on eBay for $4 USD, and then listed on eBay for at least five times its actual value. My poster arrived today. It’s exactly that. It’s NOT sealed, it’s all kinds of unofficially made in Korea, and smells of varnish. But I still think it was worth every penny, ’cause I love Deep Space Nine. ^_^

I also got my package from Amazon.ca today. Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction (XBX) and Pirates of the Caribbean – The Curse of the Black Pearl (DVD). All I’m waiting for now is that camera from Amy, which I’ll inquire about next time she’s online.

P.S. My poster does rock, but I wish I paid less for it. =\
