Online Garage Sale

So in the past couple of weeks or so I've been scouring the house to mainly get rid of stuff, and I've truly discovered that a man's trash can be another's treasure. I've sold and/or selling the following items on the ubiquitous online garage sale websites craigslist and of course eBay:

  • An old laptop (circa 1998) Pentium 133 with 1 GB hard drive and 48 MB of RAM. I sold it for $25 after fielding close to 25 inquiries! Hmm, maybe I should have sold it for more.
  • An Aiwa 3 CD stereo system for $50. The CD did not work anymore but hey, the guy still wanted it.
  • An MP3/CD player that is still technologically pretty good, but unfortunately has been made obsolete by tiny little flash players. Selling it on eBay, hoping to fetch at least $25 for it.
  • An old snowboard jacket for $10 on craigslist.
  • Souvenirs from a Lexus marketing event that Lediya and I went to. The centerpiece of that souvenir is a rare Paul McCartney 2 CD pack that is not sold on stores. On eBay, hoping to net another $25.
  • Final Fantasy VIII for the original PlayStation. I've seen other similar games go for $15. Not bad considering that I bought it way back in 1999.
  • And scores of other miscellaneous items.
Believe it or not I'm actually having fun. Besides getting rid of junk and freeing up space in the garage, I am making a few bucks too!
