These offline avenues have since been barricaded in favor of Paypal. Back in the day, you could request your buyers pay via traditional means, such as check or money order. But far on the other side of the table, the story reads a little differently for sellers.ĮBay’s general policy for merchants is to grease up. My buying experiences in the marketplace have been largely fine. Amazon, Half, GameGavel–all had their pros and cons, but none could hold a candle to the scale or familiarity of eBay. For a brief stretch, Craigslist was in pole position, until I realized the selling experience would essentially mirror eBay, except you risk being mugged or, even worse, having to meet your customers in person. I don’t see any dancing at all, in fact.”Īfter carefully considering all the venues in which I could offload my quality merchandise, I’ve settled on eBay, though not without some serious reservations. Did they simply wander into the wrong room? What kind of focus group were they expecting? Did the door not have a placard on it with Dead Space 2?

I’ve also picked up new vocabulary from The Other Guys. The Social Network was excellent, yet another testament to how David Fincher can make two-plus hours feel so compact. I’ve also turned to movies to supplement my media intake. Bones and Fringe continue to deliver, and when lighter fare is needed, Modern Family ably compensates for whatever new deficiencies Office and Sunny inflict on a weekly basis. Television programming has been a mixed bag lately. There’s no expectation that you’ll re-read anything–heaven help you if you do–and were I savvier, I’d properly tag my posts, but I don’t subscribe to such Internet witchcraft. Sidebar, whenever I link to my own shit, it’s mainly so I can keep track of running topics.
