There's always ebay. 

Have you tried contacting the manufacturer for a refund or maybe an exchange for something that you might find is up your alley? From whom did you buy and what was it that cost $1200?

You may have a problem selling it, period, if you broke the Seal on it. Breaking the seal would, most likely, prevent you from returning it to where you bought it from. If you really want to dump it on eBay, you'll have to steal the backpack and t-shirt back from your wife. Maybe while she's asleep. 

When your wife finds out what you spent on it, you'll hear about it again from her. 

Married? Me? Nope, been happily single my whole life.  I have, however, had an Italian girlfriend best called "Queen b**ch of the Universe". Don't call her that to her face, though. We've been apart for the past 5yrs, and I could still hear her b**ch me out if I did what you did. When I was with her, I considered changing my name to "Whippy McWhipperson".

Sounds like you've got a little pickle, there. makes me kind of wonder if you purchased a LEGIT CEH courseware package. Is the outside box RED in color? I did the class in July 04 (almost 2 yrs ago now!) and the box (ver. 2.3) the books came in is the color of EC-Council, a bright red. My CDs that accompanied the courseware came in there own jewel cases. I got a CD of the courseware tools, and a bootable copy of Knoppix Linux. But I didn't get any backpack or t-shirt. 

V.2.3 courseware contains: (2) RED 3-ring loose-leaf notebooks, w/ courseware on 3-ring punched paper, 2 CDs in Jewel cases, EC-Council notepad, EC-council RED pen, and paperback of "Hackers Beware", "Official Course Material"  by Eric Cole, written for NT4 platform. Instructor told us on 1st day of class this book is useless, but it still contains lots of valuable info for newbs just starting out; but it IS for NT4.   778pgs.
 
When I finally got my certificate 3 months later, they sent me the welcome pkg, consisting of the actual certificate, thank you/welcome letter, bumper sticker/window clingy, and business-card cd of bootable Linux.
Due to my complaining and phone calls about how long it takes to get the cert, they sent me a t-shirt (white Hanes, with Ec-council logo on the left, and CEH logo on the right), round playing cards, and two more window clingys. I really wanted the window clingys, cause I have the original one they sent me (folded) in my back windshield. White background, it will eventually fade w/ exposure to the Sun. Wanted to have a few backups.

Sorry to hear you're married. We all make mistakes, I guess. Time to show her who's in charge. 

I made a mistake, too. I purchased the CEH courseware (v.2.3) from ec-council website by mistake. I thought I was purchasing a test voucher, but I was looking in the wrong spot. Purchased CEH courseware from ec-council website for$150.00(I think), looked into sending it back to Maylasia, where it shipped to me from; would have cost me more than I paid for it. Put it up on eBay, and some guy in TX bought it for $125. Oh well. Live and learn.

Don't know why it cost you as much as it did. Sorry to say, it sounds as if you got ripped off.

Ok, it looks legitimate. I suppose they could have changed it since I did it, it HAS been two years already.

Ya got me drooling over it, but if you were going to pay that much for it, you might have just as well done the class. The class when I did it was almost $3000, but I got a 30% discount for doing a free Microsoft security class first, taught by a snot-nosed kid half my age. But it was during that free Microsoft 1 day security seminar that this snot-nosed kid announced that the local New Horizons (where I go for all my computer classes) were going to have the CEH class. That's where I first heard about CEH, and I've been hooked ever since. I'm very proud to be a CEH, even if it already is kind of old.

re:screaming kids: Try and outscream them and maybe they'll shut up. but Maybe not. Can't give a lot of advice, don't have any kids, just peace and quiet.    Except for the WWE Smackdown on TV. That's a lotta noise, but it's fun.

Been there.  Nothing like a good beating or being cheated on to send you off in the right direction.

I have lots of practice at making mistakes... just look at the subject of this thread!

Time to show her who's in charge. 
She's in health care.  She recently went independant and her bill rate is 200/hr, mine is 45/hr.  I now trying to make my breasts lactate so I can take care of the baby.  hardee har har...  Maybe I'll just wake up one day and find it was all a nightmare.

Sorry to break it to you, but the only super models I've been with were written in UML. 

the pages of the CEH manual were poorly glued... next time, i hope eccouncil do the ring bind thing like microsft's MOC manuals....
