Almost complete? Why don’t you wait until it’s done, then bring it back and sell it today?

Well, I lied. I haven’t started it yet. But when it is almost finished I will go back and start this thread.  
Of course it will be a must for allspammers. Mods locked your thread and booted you? No worries- just go back a few days to before you were booted.

I will be rich!

I tried to order but I was told it will be back ordered next week and to expect delivery in time for Christmas 2009.
