The Crazy Frog TShirts Ebay store has several custom-made items with braille messages. You can order various-sized shirts and teddy bears, and choose to have the braille raised (for the blind) or flat (for sighted readers). We are unsure as to the accuracy of the braille on these items.

An Ebay seller has listed a Nokia 6620 cell phone for Cingular Wireless with a copy of Talks accessible cell phone software for an opening bid of $200. Or, avoid the auction and buy it now for $300. The phone is advertised as new, and costs less than the software alone. For those unfamiliar with buy it now, if you pay the buy it now price of $300, you get the item and the auction closes. As soon as a bid is placed on the item, the buy it now option disappears. Auction ends January 24. Update: This item has been sold.

Amazon.com has the Wenger Swiss Army Notebook Backpack for $36.46. With free shipping, we couldn't find this for less elsewhere. It holds laptops up to 15 inches wide and has padded straps and several additional pouches. Personally I think these backpacks are a great way to carry around a laptop without advertising to the world that you have expensive technology that could be stolen.

We've had some readers who wish to advertise their used items, but we are unable to publish them. The primary reason for this is the lack of a website. When we post an item on our site, our practice is to link to a page with more information and contact information for the item. So if you only have an Email address, we are unable to do this. As some have discovered, there are ways around this. As you know, we list several items a week off Ebay, so if you sell your item on that site, we may see it. If you wish to set up a website and need some help, send us a note. Finally, remember that we only list the best deals we can find, so not everything gets posted. If you have something to sell and you have a link, auction, or some other page where the item is described, send it along and we'd love to take a look. I hope this answers some of the questions we've been getting about used items.

Auction ends January 17.
