List on Craig
I need to update more. Eh.
A few months ago, I had bad luck trying to unload all of my old Marine Corps gear I don't need anymore. Recently, I've been having some good luck on CraigsList, though. I listed my sweet hot 7MP Samsung digital camera for sale for $50. Since 7MP is ancient, compared to current cameras, I was shooting for the stars regarding my asking price. Yesterday some (slightly crazy) blond lady replied that she wanted my camera for $40. I said OK and we exchanged money and merchandise at the Urbana Free Library.
Also on CR, I found a listing for a modified PS1 that could play Japanese games. The sale would have been pretty sweet, except the fact I didn't want all the items in that sale: The sale included the modified PS1 and a ton of imported games plus six official memory cards. I only wanted the PS1 memory cards. Those just happen to be really hard to find, so therefore they are worth quite a bit even used when sold on the internet. So this guy comes over to the house and I hook up the modded PS1, and it plays the imported games just fine. I tested one of my North American games and the system cannot read the game. The guy then tells me there is some swapping technique to getting the system to read games from both regions. I let this guy know that I was willing to buy the system if it worked as implied in the online listing, but I would still be interested in buying the PS1 memory cards. The guy acquiesced and I bought six official PS1 memory cards for dirty cheap. I op-checked them, so they work, but two of them need their copper contacts cleaned. That shouldn't be to hard for me to execute. Even if I accidentally destroy those two cards that need to be cleaned, I can still make a profit from the other four that are in 100% working order.
Speaking of cleaning copper, I had to buy Brasso from Schnuck's grocery store a few weeks ago. I find it a little humorous that I used to own gallons of that stuff that I barely used while I was enlisted, but I didn't have when I really needed it recently. It is a good thing Brasso has more than one use. I am waiting impatiently to clean my cartridge games. I won't be able to do that until after the end of this school semester, it looks like. :/
