Life is not going well for me.
The house was not getting paid for, put into foreclosure and now I am under an eviction notice. I have lost all investment in the house by not acting when I should have.
Yes, shoulda/coulda, stupid, non-action.
The net result is I have to be out by the end of the month.
I also have next to no money in the bank.
I am looking for a place for me, a place for my stuff and a way to get it there.
Help would be appreciated. Siblings have also been notified, a sister is working to co-ordinate an effort, but want to iron things out before getting back to me.
The house is in Ann Arbor, MI close to I-94 & US-23, near Stone School & Eisenhower, down Packard from Tios downtown.
I have been trying to get trash out, but what could concern you all is some things you might want. Yes, there are some things I would like to sell or give in consideration for financial help. I also have bunches of things for hauling it away.
The start of that haul away list would be an amazing pile of home recorded VHS tapes, movies, TV shows include Star Trek Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, space exploration stuff, PBS stuff, music programs, movies and more taped off-air. A variety of store bought VHS movies are here also, most that had not replace with a DVD copy. I also
have Star Trek The Original Series on VHS tape, store-bought, along with 9 of the movies, whose value today is much less than when they came out. I also have filk cassettes and CDs that need to get to a new home should I need to extremly reduce. Also, FUMP/Dementia artist CDs and DVDs that would be better passed on than in a dump or confusing someone at a donation center..
A big item, that I hope to get some help with would be all the field recorded filk I have. Close to 25 years of it. Yes, it would be nice to get some finacial reward for it going to someone or someplace that will activly act to get it into an organized archive. This include media and recorders for Mini-Disc, audio DAT and VHS tapes.
I also have books, paperbacks, old pro-fanzines other paper of fan interest.
Actually, what I need is an eBay/Craigslist/Amazon partner(s) who would help be get some dollars for some of this stuff. Would a 40% commision be to little to ask for things that individualy would sell in the $10 to $50 range with many unknowns. I never could start that before and now the clock is ticking on doing it myself. Email if you can help that way (such info below)..
Yes, I do have a Pay-Pal account.
Pass this on to others if you think they would want to know or would like to help (or even punder what I have in the house to save it going to the curb).
E-mail me if you want to stop by or want my phone number to talk, or address to stop by. If you think your reply would be better private back to me, please make it so.
At comcast dot net I am TimRyanAA.
I have set up another email address: at gmail dot com , I am also TimRyanAA that I should be able to get to now and after the comcast disconnect.
