That’s the total value of the 11 games I put up on eBay this morning.  I had an epiphany last night when I was staring at my shelf full of games. I was thinking, “Boy, it’d sure be nice to turn all that into cash.” It was about 2 AM at the time, which is as everyone knows the perfect time to post mass auctions on eBay (ok, maybe not).

I listed all but one of my games at or above the price I paid for it, so assuming they sell I’ll be making a healthy profit off letting them sit on my shelf for a few weeks. The first game sold 8 minutes after I listed it, and I had another one sell about an hour ago.

I guess this means I ending up agreeing with you Aaron, I need to start selling stuff on eBay instead of just buying.

I know, you’re probably thinking “they still make ZIP drives?”, right? Well I checked and they do.

Anyhow, I’m selling one on eBay right now and someone actually bid on it ($0.99 + $9.99 s&h). Weird. It’s the 100MB model from 2000, still shrink wrapped in all its glory. How is that possible you ask? Umm, good question… well, I found it buried under 8 years of junk mail in my Grandpa’s office last month when I was cleaning.

I’m totally happy getting $0.99 for it, but if I can make $2.00 that’d be insane! Join me next week when I’ll be auctioning off a vintage copy of of Microsoft Word 5.0 and a Leading Edge word processor.
