Ebay Update

Man I forgot what it was like using ebay cause it had been so long. I held two auctions over the past two weeks, selling my Xbox and Nintendo 64. The Nindendo was harder for me to let go of, but now it's gone and I don't miss it. I hadn't played either for a good 2-3 years, and in selling them I netted about $200, all of which I put into my emergency ING savings account. I plan on holding two more auctions. The first to sell all of my cd's (every song I own is now on my ipod) and eventually my dvd's. I want to burn them first, which requires buying a dvd burner, and then they'll be for sale. It felt really good getting paid for the things I no longer use, and the transactions couldn't have been more smooth. The money went from Paypal into ING with the click of a button, and this month I saw the emergency savings account grow a lot more than expected.

Ebay

I held the first of hopefully several ebay auctions last week to get rid of some stuff I haven't used in forever. First up was my Xbox. I haven't played it in probably 2 years and I've been thinking about selling it for awhile now. It felt so good once my auction ended and I ended up making $112.50. The transaction went smooth and I just shipped it today. The best part is that the money from the auction was already transferred to my ING direct account and it's now earning interest. Next up is my Nintendo 64. It's scheduled to end this Saturday the 27th. I'd put a link up to it but I'm sure nobody really cares. It's currently at $40, and whatever it sells for will also be stashed away with ING. I'm trying to look for other stuff that might be worth selling, but besides my sports card collection I can't think of anything. I'd have a really hard time parting with the basis of my entire childhood, so I might just end up holding onto those.
