Busy.
Went to see Ben Lee/Ben Folds/Rufus Wainright concert. Went to Ohio State Fair. Turned in paper for English class. Been busy.
I don't think I'm likely to sell anything on eBay again. I just finished selling off one of my cameras (no, Chip, not yours) and for all the effort I put into my friendly, personal auction, in the end it was won by some guy who clearly runs a store and, despite my auction specifically stating that I AM NOT A CAREER SELLER and THIS IS MY ONLY AUCTION, the fucker STILL e-mailed me to ask what other photo equipment I had for sale. And I told him, this was just something I had lying around that I never really liked much, and I wasn't selling anything else, and no offense but I had hoped it wasn't going to be bought by someone who was just going to resell it again. Stupid fucking career dealers have pretty much ruined eBay and through it the collectable market anyway. You can't bid on something early for risk of another dealer jumping in and buying it because there must be Demand if you're bidding on it, and then they drive up the prices by relisting it higher. I'm sure there are Transformers on there that have just gone from one dealer to another over the past couple years. It's just gotten disgusting, and I'm about through with it.
