robotech_masterWell, I didn't want to have to do it, but I did.
I went ahead and put my Rio 600 mp3 player up for auction on eBay.
I have mixed feelings about that. On the one hand, as an MP3 player, it's not all that great anyway...the only way you can put a decent amount of music on it is to make it sound terrible. On the other hand, it was nice for listening to the Harry Potter audiobooks while I was out and about, and it probably won't fetch all that much money anyway. Probably not enough to pay for all the time I spent digging through trash cans to find enough Pepsistuff access codes to win it.
The reason I did it was that I got a phone call today...seems I forgot about the second half of my car insurance, which is a $130 expense. I'm just barely breaking even on expenses right now, and for that to come up? Well, I need to get some cash and pay it off.
Thus, what started as a, "Hmm, maybe I could sell this" endeavor has rapidly turned into an "oh my god I've got to sell things fast!" endeavor. So I'm throwing things up on the auction site as fast as I can dig them out of my room, and hoping that they'll turn out to be worth enough to someone that they feel inclined to bid.
Why don't you look right here and see if you want anything I'm selling?
Gah...back to rummaging.
