Finished!

The Fourth (4th) Edition cards are now all up in the store. I am going to give myself the rest of the day off from cards, I think. I've earned a break.

I might put some other things up - I've some VHS movies I've been meaning to put up, maybe some more of Dad's audiobooks...but NO MORE MAGIC CARDS. UGH!

I still have to get up the Homelands, Mirage, Visions and Fifth Edition cards, but I'm starting to get a bit burned out. Time for a rest for a while.

Today's giant task was to photograph all of my Fourth (4th) Edition cards. I just finished (it's a tad after midnight now) writing up descriptions for the common cards, and they are uploading to my store as I write this. I decided to do something different with Fourth Edition. Since it's more recent the prices for the commons tend to be a bit lower, so I decided to sell them as sets of 2 copies instead of singles. This left a few "odds out" when I had an odd number of copies. So I'm going to put up a lot of ~50 cards to sell as a block, and see if anyone is interested. Gotta figure out a decent asking price...or maybe that one would be better as an auction.

I still have not found that blasted comic book.

Several sales in the store today. Enough that I have convinced myself I can afford the $9.95/mo Comcast charges for their DVR service, so I ordered that tonight (install set for Sunday, so I have a few days of anticipation of my new toy). I have to say - generally speaking Comcast is like Satan's slight-less-evil younger brother, but my experience with their "analyst" (Cody was his/her name) was quite pleasant. When you order a service online, you get to "chat" (the online version) with an analyst who confirms your order and service date/time. At one point I had to run and check my schedule for Sunday to pick the best time for which to wait, and when I apologized for the delay, Cody replied "No worries im just reading a tom clancy book, so im occupied." (literal quote there). Way cool! Someone else who drags a book along wherever 'cause you never know when you're going to need it!

Well, I could not find the blasted comic book. So, I had no choice but to refund the person's money and hope he's not too inconvenienced.

Meanwhile, I have finished and uploaded the Ice Age cards to the store.

On a completely unrelated note - I joined the ranks of Digital Cable customers today. Woo-hoo! Comcast offered to upgrade me for only $1 more per month. Now the debate is whether or not to get a DVR to go with it. Everyone I know who has one just raves about it...but is it worth an extra $10 per month when my only income is from eBay? Decisions, decisions...

The weirdness just keeps on coming.

I got email from a gentleman who bought some cards from me - nothing fancy, Snow-Covered Lands from Ice Age. The envelope arrived cut open, with the cards missing! Here's his words:

"Got your package today, and someone had cut open the top and pulled the cards out! How stupid is that? 6 snow-covered lands...nice haul for a thief.

Anyway, I know you sent these so I'll still leave you positive feedback. The $3 this costs is worth the chuckle at the thought of some jackass who doesn't know what they are trying to sell them."

He took it well, I think. So bizarre. Who would have though it? You'd like to think that if you mail something it will be safe!
