that special time of year i like to refer to as ‘get rid of crap i don’t want anymore on craigslist.’

would you like an Apple DVI to ADC video adapter to connect your powerbook or macbook to a studio/cinema display? how about a huge fucking pile of computer books? maybe some buffy the vampire slayer reference books for your next scholarly yet pop cultural opus? or maybe you’d like a free broken, but much-beloved, tape deck you could use to teach a child in your life the beauty of electronics repair and/or multimedia/3-dimensional artwork? there’s always some old pans i found in a thrift store last year and, this year, decided i didn’t like? or how about an obsolete video capture thingie or a 6-port belkin firewire hub? sadly, you are too late to adopt my radioshack rf modulator (perfect for the old TV in your life which only has coax in).

so far this year i have made, hrm. $155? selling crap on craigslist, but more importantly, i have gotten lots of crap out of the house. i like selling crap on craigslist. it’s basically like donating crap to the brown elephant, only instead of getting a tax writeoff, you get to not have to drive up to lakeview* and deal with the frigging parking situation, and also, sometimes people give you money for your old crap, which means then you can order pizza delivery and not cook dinner. which is never not awesome.

but now i have to run off so i can delete the remaining stuff from my old tivos, cancel the service on them, and then put them up for grabs as well. ta!

(* yes, i am aware that there’s a brown elephant on milwaukee about 1/4 mile from my house. however, i like the lakeview store better, and also pretentious people who wear skinny jeans, such as many people in wicker park, do not deserve to buy my castoff crap. my castoff crap has standards.)
