  • Selling EGM Super Smash Bros Brawl Covers

    Are you an avid fan of Electronic Gaming Monthly? Are you a rabid Nintendo fanboy? Do you have too much disposable income?

    If you answered yes to any of these questions, have I got a deal for you. I’m currently eBaying all 12 collectable covers from EGM’s February issue. These covers feature 12 characters from the cast of Super Smash Bros Brawl, and are a must have for any serious collector. I’m shipping worldwide, so come one come all and take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity!

    All 12 EGM Super Smash Bros Brawl Covers. Mint!

    Why am I posting this on Hijinks? Well, apart from the shameless self promotion and the Google traffic, these magazines are just part of a larger story that has yet to be told. Stay tuned for that.

  • $230

    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. 😉

  • Selling a ZIP Drive

    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.
