I try this like once a week and it never works. >:(
This is the first time I noticed "Eyes may close in transit - there is no technology to guard against this." on this strip though and its pretty awesome.

re: comment above this one,
Right after this strip ran there was a few hits when you searched for WHATS THE BEST THING YOU GOT on eBay. I think it was like a half eaten bag of pretzels though, far from the best thing on eBay.
mrshl » pro1 years ago
I did the same thing. I think I also searched on Google, hoping there was a Google bomb type thing. No such luck.
hamscout » neu3 months ago
Search on 04/13/08 leads to: this sad item. Far less cool than Airwolf. Santini wouldn't drink a free beer outta that thing...
twohundredninety » neu11 months ago
I came here to post something like this. We see three items on the screen, and Ray bought at least two of them. I like to think Onstad is keeping the laser in reserve.
twohundredninety » neu11 months ago
Okay, I just noticed the cardboard box marked 3' in the back of Airwolf in the next strip.
Awesome.
ampkit5 » neu6 months ago
I must say, if you change the word gargantuan to genitalia, then would it deserve hella 5s.
mrsmuckles » pro1 years ago
IMO, one of the Greats.

Men want to copy his drink. I would.
hellofyellin » neu1 years ago
I like how Keith Moon's head and Airwolf are right up Ray's alley. The Biggest Laser? Not so much.
Too obvious.
william » neu1 years ago
Oh he gets the laser. Check out the box that says 3' next to the head.
havenless » pro1 years ago
What is it with Ray getting stoned and ebay?
twohundredninety » neu11 months ago
He's craaazy for that shit!
dropkickpikachu » neu1 years ago
When ray has caps lock on, he means e-auction business.
nabeel84 » neu1 years ago
Why would ray's nick be "Organized Man?"
zem » neu1 years ago
yeah, I didn't notice that until just now
phthoggos » neu1 years ago
Because he created it while complaining that "it sucks how they organize this."
luckyg » neu1 years ago
I thought Ray's username was eBay_Ray? Maybe he changed it because he was embarassed about all the Dennis Quaid memorabilia he got ripped off on.
...so I figure it's $20mil for Airwolf, and the odd $100k for the Jan Michael Vincent meet and greet
sherwood » neu1 years ago
the problem is that I'm just givin' out all 5s here. I have no standards when it comes to Achewood. I'm like a 15 year old at the pool.
digdugz » neu1 years ago
I feel the same exact way.
I've ended up just giving all strips a 4 and then using the rating of 5 as a favorites list.
werthog42 » neu10 months ago
Well, you are getting lots of chubbies, which certainly reinforces the comparison.
onepapertiger » neu1 months ago
I want to chubby this but I've never seen the impressive lot of exactly 50 chubbies anywhere else on Assetbar.
V-chub, out of a watered-down attack of OCD.
semiquaver » neu1 months ago
Well you could have chubbied it to create the inverse effect of a 15 year old with 51 chubbies. But it's too late now. Someone--not me--upset the balance. So go ahead. Chubby.

Cursory research indicates there was only one Airwolf helicopter, and it was converted into a medical chopper and later crashed, killing three. If I'm lyin' Wikipedia's dyin'.

Rated R for pervasive drug use, drummer decapitation, and gratuitous freaking awesomeness.

Ray's advice in the first panel is not good advice, at least for me :(
mashuren » pro1 years ago
"it's illegal" :)
straw » pro1 years ago
Mere days after Ray wondered on his blog whether it would be worth it to get a helicopter just because Imaginationn. But Airwolf is no goddamn huey. Airwolf is lacquer

i should make omelettes.
[nobody is around]
i should go to sleep.
[get stoned]
i should get on ebay!
[poor organization]
i wonder what is the best thing the internet can do for me?
[drops a wad]
this is what i will be like when i'm richer than FUCK like ray is.
in the grand tradition of ray and robert johnson, i hereby offer to sell my soul to the devil for some MAD beat-boxing skills. you hear me, luke? i'm serious!
deancain29 » neu1 years ago
This is the most inventive thing I have ever read.
drskradley » pro10 months ago
Now I'm trying to think of technology that could guard against this.
ttagxamm » neu10 months ago
I think a needle and thread would be sufficient, actually.
oingoboingirl » pro10 months ago
this is probably the funniest one i've seen, i was cry-laughing at "WHAT'S THE BEST THING YOU GOT"
ariamaki » neu10 months ago
Easily, without fail-- the best thing I have seen in SO long.
"kids, always sleep stoned."
four words to live by.
unclejam » neu8 months ago
Goddamn, Ray has that much money?
falseprophet » pro8 months ago
eBay is not the only prominent web site that uses cheat codes to reward A-type personalities. I went to facebook and typed in "I SEE SOME LADIES TONITE THAT SHOULD BE HAVING MY BABY, BABY" and I found out I was in an open relationship with Halle Berry.
zem » pro6 months ago
two years later you were fatally shot mere weeks before the release of your second album
autobahnbismark » neu8 months ago
That laser is incredibly cheap.
drskradley » neu8 months ago
I hadn't noticed that, but now you mention it, it is. That's not much at all for a Death Ray. They're just giving those damn things away these days.
rateoforange » neu8 months ago
I imagine the laser is actually pretty weak. It's just wide, you know.
drskradley » neu8 months ago
But that'll blind EVERYBODY. And all the women will want to know me.
lamelliform » neu8 months ago
This, in my mind, is classic Achewood.
I work for eBay, and I've got this strip tacked to my cubicle wall.
professorhazard » neu4 months ago
There are cubicles at eBay? What for?
tekende » neu4 months ago
...Why wouldn't there be?
professorhazard » neu4 months ago
I just can't imagine how the company would need more than three or four lanky-haired nerds, especially considering that their customer service is, essentially, nonexistent. Ever tried to e-mail them with a problem? Go on, try to find their contact info! I know people who have debts they can't pay from six years ago because the site won't let them do it.
doc_rostov » neu3 months ago
Two words:
Paperwork, marketing.
fineoakstructure » neu3 months ago
That won't help these people pay their debts at all.

cherubrocker22 » neu6 months ago
Dude, it does suck how they organize that site.
hyetal » pro6 months ago
I loved this strip from the first moment I laid eyes on it. I think it's absolutely brilliant. When I want my friends to get interested in Achewood, I show them this strip... then I realize it won't work because they weren't there, man, like from the beginning and all!
And this is classic Ray, Ray at his absolute best. As eBay itself puts it, he thinks "like the world's greatest." Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Ray Smuckles%u2014they get things done.
But I'm sure Ray's reaction is a little less grand than mine. He probably said "Neat!" and started scratching at the screen to try to take the ones he wanted...
unsentletter » pro4 months ago
Holy crap, I love Ray's facial expression of discovery. It says it all.
Fuck yeah, Airwolf!

I figured someone would beat me to it. For a split second I thought I had found Ebay Platinum Reserve, but a search for "the biggest laser" returned nothing interesting.
sarrk » neu2 weeks ago
Its, The. Biggest. Laser.
Such a laser of its magnitude cannot be contained in a single sentence.
pivitor » pro1 months ago
Though I'd seen several Achewood strips a few years beforehand, this was the one that made me go back and start reading the archives, and thus got me into the strip :D
tekende » pro1 months ago
The most dangerous of the three items shown here is by far the least expensive.
