With millions of people making music for thousands of years, non-repetitive, unsafe, uncategorized, top notch music should be the norm.
On the site I’ll be using the eBay grading on DVDs:
Movies & TV, Music, Video Games
- Brand new: The item was never opened or removed from the manufacturer’s sealing (if applicable). The item is in original shrink wrap (if applicable). See the seller’s listing for full details
- Like new: The item looks as if it were just taken out of shrink wrap. It has no visible wear, and all facets of the item are flawless and intact. See the seller’s listing for full details and a description of any imperfections
- Very good: The item is used but still in very good condition. There is no damage to the jewel case or item cover: no scuffs, scratches cracks, or holes. The cover art and liner notes are included. The VHS or DVD box is included. The video game instructions and box are included. The teeth of the disk holder are undamaged. There is minimal wear on the exterior of the item. The CD/DVD doesn’t skip. There are no fuzzy/snowy frames on the VHS tape. See the seller’s listing for full details and a description of any imperfections
- Good: The item is used but in good condition. It may have minor damage to the jewel case, including scuffs or cracks, or to the item cover, including scuffs, scratches, or cracks. The cover art and liner notes are included for a CD. The VHS or DVD box is included. Video game instructions are included. The CD/DVD doesn’t skip. There are no fuzzy/snowy frames on the VHS tape. See the seller’s listing for full details and a description of any imperfections
I must admit they’re pretty strict and not much room for ambiguity. I’ll probably be listing more things in “good” condition that may deserve a higher rating. (Yeah right, even I rolled my eyes out of habit reading that… but it’s true – I have a huge inventory and don’t need the headache of disagreements over subtle scuffs on generic cases)
I’m currently having to learn how to set up a couple of things. As you can see the DVDs are synced but the pages need some work and not all the information about specific DVDs is showing up yet.

Sounds fun… as I set up things here I realized I should write up some kind of policy for what I write or post about and what I sell or am involved with.
I can’t expect people to guess if I’m getting paid for something I recommend or point to.
Fair question – it’s never happened and if I were to be in some promotional or affiliate program I would think it would be silly not to mention it and make it clear. I am looking to learn more about affiliate programs but I’m not currently involved in any.
The North Texas Radio station has always been noncommercial and I pay for it out of my pocket.
The only ads I have ever had are new additions and they are currently on the bottom of the website, these are from my personal eBay store. Our home business is vintage and antique sales. I’m looking to expand that to mail order and starting off with movies and music to get the hang of it.
I’m not opposed to ads on the website, I’d love it if people bought “space” like in the old days, which I guess is a lot like the new days but it’s still not like the old days.

It was his job title, it’s who he was.
From what I understand, the position was created specifically for him.
It was rough growing up, rules were odd. Think of OCD, ADHD, addiction and a bunch of other crap that runs the gamut from neurotic to full blown insanity.
It’s annoying, it’s tiring, it’s overwhelming, it’s inheritable.
One of the things I’ve learned that helps – the brain has trouble focusing on more than one thing at a time. If you can, when you’re stuck – focus your attention on something helpful, productive etc. Sounds sort of quaint, but what’s the alternative? Keep running the same script over and over in your head?
In other news, I have started selling on eBay, I’m still working on setting it up here.

I am so glad I switched web hosts. I’m currently using DreamHost and the techs there are superb. The move was pretty easy, instructions were straightforward. I’ve been bugging them for 3 or 4 days now due to issues with setting up the store. They’ve been super helpful and none of the issues have been with their service, mainly things I didn’t know how to do.
For the first time I have a staging area where I can work on the site and update it on the backend and view changes before posting. If you’ve been following me, I generally have been working live, warts and all. The staging area is part of their package and the package I got is considerably less expensive than what I was paying before.
The last hosts couldn’t even read the damn ticket – I told them what I was having issues with, the backend – it was a complete mess and what was ok (the frontend). They told me the frontend looked good and was loading fine on their end, didn’t say anything about the backend. Also, they said I had a 10 second load time and acted like that was acceptable. They said loading time was due to the audio I have on my site (I don’t have any audio on my site – the player is hosted at Live365).
I totally recommend DreamHost if you’re setting up a site using WordPress.
