Something caught my eye today that I had to have and it was discounted as well. I bought it with borrowed cash and of course I have to pay it back.

Therefore I have decided to sell by best coins and start over again. I do this often, it's not something I get sad about in any way, I like starting over.

I've decided to hold a sort of silent auction type thing. I'll list an item with an opening bid and you PM me to bid on it, I'll mark the item as having a bid in the thread and its current price. Someone else could PM me and offer a higher price and I'll change the price and number of bids in the thread and inform the underbidder they've been outbid.

I think my auction will start tonight and run until Sunday. What do you think of this idea?

    Sounds like a good idea. Will there be reserves on the auctions?

    All the pics will be in the auction thread. The toned coins will be my Canadian dollars which have graced my sigline for a few weeks.

    You'll miss the FUN crowd. Unless they have their laptops with them.

    I use my legs to get around most of the time, yes.
    iPod is the most popular MP3 player out there for Macs and PCs. The 10gb model was upgraded to 15 so I got the 10 at a bit of a discount.
    I'm happy with it.

    I haven't found work at home. So I msut move to the big city. No question.
    I haven't decided where in the city but that depends on where I get work. Luckily my brother, sister and an old university friend of mine lives there which could make the transition easier.

    My son wants that for his birthday. I'll tell him to watch out for the upgrade deal you got. Good luck on the move to Vancouver. Watch out for STDs (read somewhere that they currently have the highest occurence rates).

    Well, crimes rangeing from Kiddie prostitution to breaking and entering. Which is not surprising since Vancouver has 1/3 of the police force a city of it's size is suppose to have.

    Couldn't you keep the coins and get a Walkman instead?

    iPod is better. Walkman = magnetic cassette tape
    magnetic cassette tape = crappy sound quality + quality degrades over time and with usage

    CD walkman + running = skipping
    iPod = no moving parts = low maintenance

    iPod is better.
