The other day, I got to thinking about what it is I want to change about my life at this moment, and came up with these three things

Remember the "Mr. Fusion" machine from Back to the Future? Well, for now all we have is eBay. -hint hint- ;-)

Ya. I was thinking Ebay as well.

Hell, if I can sell yours and Dave's beer bottle caps on Ebay, surely you can sell a Monopoly game!

(I wonder if Shore Street would wind up even cheaper than Baltic Avenue!)

[bloobert]

Meh, EBay is too much work for me. Unless it's something expensive and fairly easy to ship, I'm not really interested in dealing with the photos and writing and emailing and packaging, just to make a couple bucks. I want a machine I can drop stuff into, that will spit out money =)

[f00dave]

Money = time, not material. Unless the material is rare enough?

Or you could do that trading up thing the one red paper clip guy was doing. But ebay might be quicker for $.

One red paper clip guy?

lol neat =)

Or how about creating some crazy flash thingy that people will want to forward to each other, set up a website, and sell t-shirts.

Like this kooky Gunther guy. All he does is make silly pop songs, and sell T shirts. ??? Maybe he's got something there.

Hm, neat idea... I'm really not looking for ways to make $$$, just ways to get rid of things I don't need anymore. I'd give a lot of this stuff away, except I'm not sure who would want it, exactly....

Anything I have that I don't need, I give it to Goodwill. I can see their sign best from the road, and they take bikes any time of year. :P I have the Sally Ann and St. Vincent De Paul also but Goodwill works best for me.

I don't underestimate Goodwill. I have given them fabric scraps before, and balls and balls of yarn - mind you, it's been enough to make a something out of. Though I'm sure some person would make a quilt or something from scrap fabric too. After all, they take records that aren't in the right jacket.

Though try ebay, but if it seems like a pain, goodwill or some other thrift store is my final answer.

I tried giving a couch to the Salvation army once, and they didn't want it because it had a hole scratched in the arm by the cats. Hmph! Picky picky..
