Day slower than expected
Morons on Glasshouse Street decided to start screaming at each other at just before 5am and got me up so started day ..... and was back in bed about 8ish woke up before 12 and there went the morning but shopping now done and the shifting to be done soon
since the fitness thing is up and running turning thought to other things
In august I've been in the flat for 2 years (last itme I lived on my own for this length of time I ended up an alcoholic basket case- doing somewhat better this time it has to be said) but the point is I ahve the option to buy the flat after 5 years.
I'm 42 (currently) out of shape and will be 45 by the time I could go for a mortgage - it's tempting to just rent and avoid the hassle but we'll see
I'm sorting kitchen appliances this month and shelving next month with carpeting as a sort of ongoing thing, a sort of keep an eye out and grab any opportunity that arises
Next year I'm branching out, wanting to go to Gen Con in the states but with prices being what they are may not be possible but as a back up theres games expo and Paizocon Uk which are weekend events and theres a new Doctor Who experience opening in Cardiff ... ooh the more I type the better this sounds - cool
Going to start shifting the entire comic collection onto ebay for whatever I can get for them those funds are going to be switched for maybe replacement graphics but definately Big Finish Audios cause they are really good and I love listening to them while I'm writing or painting or whatever - also going on is pretty much all my 3rd ed DND stuff and some ods and sods from the games collection (streamlining)
SO weight loss, Flat modification, ebaying good times ahead

For what it's worth I have tried selling my entire comic collection on Ebay. The rewards aren't worth the effort of listing everything. Even listing them for a pittance won't sell them. Better to find a dealer and price them up and sell individually.
ReplyDeleteIn fact you could find out how to hire a stall at a comic convention, perhaps find friends who have comics to sell and go as a group. You would control the pricing, get instant cash and wouldn't have to bother with the work and waiting associated with online selling. I'm sure that there are plenty of conventions in nottingham.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the advice
ReplyDeleteNo problem whatsoever. :)
ReplyDeleteI know that when I searched Google to find buyers, they seemed to be more interested in golden/silver age comics, and have very little interest in anything post '79. Most likely they are trying to get comics they can sell at a huge profit. U.S. buyers seem more interested, but the cost would make it pointless, of course.
Amazon are less that useless, as they seem to only list collected editions, and graphics.
I can see myself being lumbered with my entire comic collection (which I don't read), for the rest of my life.
Well I have thousands of comics and It'll take years to shift them but eventually they'll go - all it takes is patience lotts and lots of patience :)
ReplyDeleteTrue.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I have more financial problems than I do patience. But as you say, there isn't a quick fix.
Sorry to see someone sell their 3rd edition stuff, I always liked the system, but I guess 4th stopped people playing it. Good luck with it anyway.
