I have 0 bids, but I'm still hopeful. If it doesn't sell by Jan 2, I will discount.

I don't get it. Which resolution will I get if I win the auction? I don't fall into any character in your sample offerings (yet).
And, seriously, 3 feedbacks?! You can't sell anything (well, maybe except a Dagblog Council seat) with that noob standing.
Speaking of pirate ships, have you seen how the People's Liberation Navy will harmonize the Somalian ocean?

Maybe that's why I haven't received any bids. Well don't just stand there. Start feedbacking.
And thanks for the video. Very inspiring. I was standing on my chair cheering wildly at the end. Go People's Liberation Navy!!!! (There's a sitcom in here somewhere.)
PS Why do you change your screen name to something equally cryptic every time you write in?
