O.M.G. you can move the search results around, too. Beck, this is the coolest thing ever. It's made me lose all sense of reality, AND use horrendous internet acronyms.

hahaha! Beck! That is the most hilarious thing ever. It actually messes with me enough that I can't think straight when I'm on the site... wow.
maybe that says something about how I relate to reality. ... meh!
Also, Jesse, PLEASE fill in the form! and report back, too. A friend of mine almost got scammed like that in e-town recently. (or perhaps not, but it was hard to tell "Am in England at the moment. Would love to rent place to you. Please let me know if you're still interested.") I think I'll be launching into a similar search soon, too. ... I'm just not sure which city it'll be in.

The scam can be twofold -
1) get enough personal info from you for some regular old identity theft
2) get you to pony up a damage deposit and a couple of months advanced rent and they'll mail you the key that they took to africa with them (hint: the key never arrives, and the apartment probably isn't even a rental - the owners are just on vacation or something)
In other news, this is now the coolest way to google

Yeah Jesse I'm curious too! Nadeesha ended up getting something crazy like that when looking for places in Victoria. I don't get the scam though. Maybe the ask comes later...

Hmm... they're currently Sold Out.
They also don't list a price, but considering some of those normal size blades are like $600 I don't foresee it being in a decent price range :)

Guys, birthday is in 8 months...
Think you could get a holster that would fit on a motorcycle as well?
