When I first moved out of the dorms and into an apartment, I could fit everything I needed into my full-size conversion van. After moving off campus, I lived in an apartment for a year with friends. At the end of the year, we packed up and moved to a new place. I did this for three years in a row. By the forth move, I had found a stable job and an awesome roommate. With so many moves under our belts, we decided to stay in our apartment for a while before packing up and moving again. Well, it's been four years. Now it's time to move again.
And I am not excited.
Eight months and my lease is up. That's plenty of time, right? Maybe. Maybe not. I need to get rid of some crap. I've amassed a strange collection of junk; assuming there's someone else out there who likes the kind of junk I like, maybe I could sell some of it.
I'm not one to toss everything in the dumpster; I'm a huge fan of thrift stores and I'll probably donate at least a couple boxes to Goodwill or the Salvation Army. I'm also going to try and sell some things on Craig’s List, which will be a whole new experience. As an avid browser of Craig's List, I kinda know how it works, but I've never bought (or sold) anything on there.
I already have my first item in mind. A total splurge and fandom impulse buy, I picked up the Hero Edition of inFAMOUS 2 for the game (obviously) and for the rockin' Sly Cooper/Cole MacGrath sling pack; this special edition also included in-game items, a comic book, and a statue of Cole. I absolutely don't care about the statue. Maybe some inFAMOUS fan will really want just the statue? Maybe some crazy inFAMOUS fan will want two statues? I guess a pair of Cole statues could make good bookends. Or PS3 game case-ends?
That's my idea for my first Craig's List sale. Is five bucks overpriced? Maybe I should ask for candy, instead. Sour gummy worms might as well be currency, in my opinion.
