And the grim flogging off of excessive materialism, generally at a loss. So far it's just been Kijiji, I console myself with the fact that what doesn't sell there can be moved on eBay. I'm not really too concerned with market price, more with getting it out so I can get more in. And getting it out so I can buy some food and eat, I'm not due back in Hell for another 10 days, and things are getting pretty lean.
It amazes me what sells. Not so much what sells, I mean, I bought it so why wouldn't anyone else? But what sells vs what doesn't, the cameras, all of them, interest shown for every one, not one has sold. But both the radios - the first, a Crosley, cool, retro, but not working, then a week later the same buyer called to make an offer on the Motorola. The only interest, both sold on the first inquiry.

And then there's the blue Medalta Beanpot, for those that collect such things a relative rarity, and worth far more than the $25.00 I'm asking.
It sits for a week, and then a lady from Saskatchewan responds, willing to pay the shipping which will approximate the cost of the beanpot.

There's an old biker interested in my whisky jug, he collects them, talking to me from his truck (is that his daughter or his girlfriend beside me?), he has dozens of them, old ones, big ones, rare ones, odd that he doesn't have one of these, especially given how common they are.
Then there's the Unicycle, fielding all sorts of questions, people responding to counter offer the price, I agree, then they disappear. To inquire about the wheel size, the adjustability of the seat, then disappear.
The lighter things, they can be shipped, they'll go on eBay. The candlesticks, despite being offered at a third what they'd sell for on eBay, not a single response. The Arriflex 16 mm movie camera, listed at half of what it is on eBay, multiple inquiries, no sale.
Kijiji for a couple of weeks, then on to eBay. That's where the real money is...
