I am selling my geeky life!

Kinoko · Wed 06/09/2006 16:05:05

People of AGS,

I'm in Brisbane right now cleaning out my stuff from my old apartment (now my ex-fiance's apartment), and before I head back to Japan on the 26th, I have a veritable lifetime of goods to get rid of. I can't take them with me, and I cannot afford to ship them all over to my parents' house on the other side of the country. So they need to go. Most of the books I've read, the CDs and DVDs I shall be burning a copy of for myself before I get rid of them and though I would prefer to keep the originals, I just can't. I physically and financially can't.

I've put prices on these, but this is just kinda a rough guide. I mean, I'd prefer to get a little something for them because I'm terribly broke *violins!* The only thing I really need and won't waver on is that you agree to pay for all the postage/shipping yourself.

Most of these things are in excellent condition because I do take care of my things. Some of the books aren't new though (I mean, when I got them), a bunch are 2nd or 3rd hand. I haven't written which yet because this took long enough to do already but please ask if you care. Some of these books are near new, some are old and adorable and have that nice smell old books get. Some DVDs have only been watched once, and even my most treasured ones haven't been watched more than a few times. There are only so many hours in the day for Labyrinth, as great as it is.

I hope these prices aren't too much, I was trying to pick something reasonable that would be practically nothing. Feel free to bargain, but the postage must be paid.

One thing I didn't put on there is 4 Futurama box sets, seasons 1-4, because they are kinda special and I haven't figured out what to do with them yet. I can't take them with me, but I guess if someone wants them, offer me a price and we'll see.

I am but slightly interested in The Young Ones DVD and the Swing CD's. That and Lolita.

Is it possible to pay through Paypal?

Kinoko · Wed 06/09/2006 17:33:37

I er, I think so! I should still have an account there. I'll check.

EDIT: Yes, you can! My email address is kinoko at futariba dot com. Is it too dorky that I did it like that? I could really do with not getting any more spam, is all.

And I'll just say that if any mysterious stranger wants to put some money into my account for no reason but to help ease my suffering ^_- I won't say a word!

Tuomas · Wed 06/09/2006 17:48:47

I can spam your e-mail account if you want... sadly enough I don't have money to buy some of your cool books, as cheap as they are :'(

Kinoko · Wed 06/09/2006 17:50:49

That's real sweet of you but I have plenty of spam right now. So much, I might consider donating it to World Vision.

Buckethead · Wed 06/09/2006 17:52:35

I would of went for that monty phyton dvd but I see it's already sold, too bad. Maybe I'll take a shot if it's not too much shipping cost

R4L · Wed 06/09/2006 21:08:39

ooo spaceballs!

JAMMED! ...RASPBERRY!

and the infamous:

"I see your schwarts is just as big as mine!"

haha omg I wish I could buy it from you...

Kinoko · Thu 07/09/2006 02:55:59

Yeah, I wish so too :/

Ah well, stuff is actually going reasonably fast, so yay! Maybe I'll eat this week -_- *violins*

SSH · Thu 07/09/2006 08:32:30

Whatever is left, stick on ebay at 99 cents...

2ma2 · Thu 07/09/2006 13:18:43

If you have paypal, you can send an invoice along with the shipping fees. My account is linus at riotamot dot com, I'll PM you the shipping adress when I've decided if I am to buy anything else wondrous.

Kinoko · Fri 08/09/2006 07:14:27

Righteo ^_^

DragonRose · Mon 11/09/2006 15:48:07

Is this Austalian or American dollars?

LGM · Mon 11/09/2006 20:06:48

I'll snag your copy of Willow if you don't mind. Oh and that eating well book, iffin you think it'd help me shave some pounds off my lump-al region.

Kinoko · Tue 12/09/2006 06:16:33

Oops! Australian, but if anyone wants to pay in American, I certainly won't shatter your dreams.

lgm: No problem, just PM me where I'm sending it to and I'll get back to you sometime within the next couple of days with how much shipping will be.

That goes for everyone, actually. Sorry, I forgot the post office isn't open on the weekend (my bad) and well, yesterday it was raining and today it's raining and I have no car, so good weather willing, I shall do this all tomorrow.

jetxl · Tue 12/09/2006 14:55:56

Ex-fiance. Sorry to hear that.

Nikolas · Tue 12/09/2006 17:07:34

X-fiance?

Just noticed... Sorry Kinoko.

Kinoko · Wed 13/09/2006 03:58:57

Aww, thanks guys

Honestly, it's fiiiiiiine. I broke it off quite a few months back now and I was fine almost straight away. I've been "moved on" for quite awhile now. My biggest problem now is being broke and unemployed *cry* But at least I'm getting back to Japan in a couple of weeks. Australia's nice and all but I miss ... everything.

The Inquisitive Stranger · Wed 13/09/2006 06:52:47

Lucky you. I wish I could recover from shit that quickly...
