This is getting to be a clusterfuck. I still have a lot of media to sell but anything in under $10 or so is unprofitable because of shipping costs. The vast majority of my media falls into this category. What you’re seeing in the store is the top 5%.
After the hiccup with the cassettes, I moved on to a box of blue-rays. They’re in good condition but I found most of the titles aren’t worth enough to list.
I’ve spent the last week going through the rest of the DVDs I’ve had stored, trying to estimate prices and am seeing cents not dollars. Just heard that Best Buy has stopped carrying DVDs in their stores, I imagine they’ll be liquidating their inventory of new movies which will add to the glut.
I keep forgetting the plan – selling DVDs is only a beginning to learn the basics of selling online, I’m going to be putting some lots together to sell locally but most of the DVDs will be either added to my personal library or going back in storage as it’s just silly to sell them right now.

This is a decision I made on my own – I’m pulling all the cassettes from the eBay store and wanted to explain:
(Just my opinion on selling cassettes there, the store’s doing fine, no disasters & I’m getting good feedback etc.)
eBay – Item Condition by Category
Movies & TV, Music, Video Games:
Very Good – There is no damage to the jewel case or item cover: no scuffs, scratches cracks, or holes.
I get it, it should be like new but the next level down is “Good” where you’re practically giving stuff away. Fair price is all I’m looking for and I don’t think I can get that on eBay for cassettes.
So I ended up pulling all of the cassettes from the store a second time. First time was because of scuffs on jewel cases. Decided just to provide new jewel cases.
Now it’s scratches that I missed the first 2 times around. See the 3rd and 4th picture around the reels. Click on the picture to enlarge.
Like I said, I get it. Not going to deal with it. I’m just moving on to something else. I do have a significant amount of cassettes that I can put up in bulk lots but the “good stuff” is going to the back of the line.

People runnin’ everywhere
Don’t know where to go
Don’t know where I am
Can’t see past the next step
Don’t have time to think past the last one
Have no time to look around
Just run around, run around think why

The schedule I set up crashed and burned. Didn’t even look at it today. I’ve still getting things done but the schedule was too complicated so I switched just to a simple list of tasks that I could set to repeat if necessary.
I do want to make something clear – I’m not so self-absorbed that I think anyone really cares much about my scheduling attempts or even most of the thoughts that pop in my head as I ponder the minutiae of my daily life. I won’t lie – I do hope I’m not boring people, but a lot of what I’ve written about is to provide context – My brain isn’t my friend.
And in that jumbled mess that is my brain – I’m looking for that spark, it’s not not just motivation – it’s bigger than that – it’s the spark that make’s life worth living. And I’m putting my search out there.
If I’m sounding altruistic – I’m not, I’m pretty much the embodiment of a bitter old man who looks at the past with regret and future with disillusion. Don’t bother me and I won’t bother you. I’m doing ok today though and I’ve got work on doing the things that keep me doing ok.
I admit hasn’t been much of a search so far – I’d like to think I’m just warming up and eventually I’ll get into a groove – but for now it is what it is, small strides.
Speaking of, it’s a nice day – going out for a walk.

I spent most of Saturday working on a way to set up a schedule using the apps currently on my computer. Started in the morning, by 3:30 pm I was looking at apps to buy although I already have at least 4 or 5 task schedulers and have tried out another 4 or 5 in the past.
OCD in action – It had to be a certain design, I won’t go into details – it’s silly, a piece of paper would work. I found an app I liked but when I went to purchase it I saw I would have to purchase it twice, once for the desktop and again for the phone. Aww.. fuck it. I made my own.
It worked, I’ve had 2 days of getting things done. Not so much because of the schedule but it’s because I invested enough into the schedule that I am currently using it. It’s an emotional thing not a logical thing.
I already knew what I needed to get done, didn’t need to schedule it anyways.
