It was my intention to spring clean some of my collection (which I'm still doing), sell off dupes and other stuff on ebay(which I did) for the purpose of using the money to buy supplies and a couple of better grade varieties I've been wanting for a while.
Sold everything I listed and real cheap BUT they were dupes, and it was really free money. People paid, I shipped, money is now in Paypal....just waiting for me to spend it on a new Dansco, some flips, a 2006-017 or a 1956 RPM-008.
This was Sunday.
HOWEVER, at the same time a light came on on the dashboard of my old clunker. Mmm, It's perhaps telling me I need to address a possible problem. So, i check it out. The alternator is bad. I get it fixed Monday and pay with the only "extra money i have, paypal. The amount of the repair was ironically just about the same amount i had in paypal from the sales.
No dansco, no flips, no new varieties....but my car runs and i can get to work. I am grateful that I had the finances to fix the car but man, it's a little dissapointing too. My dreaming and drooling only lasted a moment.
Oh well, I still have more extra stuff so maybe I'll give it another try in a week or 2...or maybe not. When you sell a 2006-018 dbl ear for $2.75 it makes you stop and think..uh, maybe this is not a good time to sell coins. My only consolation is a very wonderful and giving person bought it which makes me happy.
