Times is still hard

Okay, so. We're going to be able to beg, borrow and steal the money we need by April 15--more like "borrow, charge and scrape together"--but then of course we'll have to pay it back and/or off. But we're not immediately screwed. Also, I went and found my cache of hardback 15M books, and there's only six--even fewer than I thought. Woe ( Read more... )

If you're brand-new at setting, eBay will walk you through the entire process, with helpful pictures! :D

And OMG, a Jack the Ripper experience? I am SO there.

OT: Your current song is one of my favs. I also enjoy going around saying "Mischief, Mischief!" in the Beggar Woman voice.

*more hugs* I'm glad to hear there is at least some type of game plan. You should be fine with eBay. Do you have the time or have you thought about, I don't know, doing commissions for something. I know it's probably a silly idea, but your snark is valuable.

I hope everything comes together for you guys.

Yeah, I've come to really love that song. It's also one where you can really hear the David Bowie comparisons all the reviews were making.

Selling on eBay is pretty easy. Remember, you can edit the crap out of your auction until someone bids on it. I know the "fear of eBay" thing a little myself, afraid of fucking up, afraid of not packing whatever-it-is well enough, but as much mostly-useless (IMO) stuff eBay has tacked on to their site over the years, it's still pretty user-friendly. Good luck. I'm sure if you get stuck, there's plenty of people on your f-list here alone who'll help you out.

Orlando Bloom is 'The Prince of Persia'!?; Orlando Bloom Not the Prince of Persia.
Ha ha ha ha.

I hope you're able to resolve your tax woes. It's never fun to have to come up with wads of cash on short notice.

Tax stuff...You have my sympathies. Bills like this are so very terrifying because the IRS, thems scary people.

And while I have never sold anything on ebay because of my fear of it, I hope your sales go well.
