For the last few days I've been posting a quantity of items on eBay and seeing some surprising results. I know the things I'm putting up for auction have some value, but it amazes me to see what people will collect. A broken antique stereoscope went online this afternoon and already has a bid. A wooden game board that I expected to bring in under $10 is up to three times that. I wasn't even sure this stuff was going to get a second look, but you never know. The old favorite, bakelite, is still garnering lots of attention, and there is some in one of my active auctions right now. I'm short on packing materials. I have bubble wrap but not enough boxes. I'm kicking myself for being so thorough on some of the recycling last year, but spilt milk and all that.
I watched a terrifying movie while I was sorting out my office closet a couple days ago:
Martha Marcy May Marlene. It's about a young woman who escapes a cult and experiences psychological problems in the aftermath. I got so freaked out I felt like I was tiptoeing around the house until I went to bed. Then I had a dream that someone came in my house while I was sleeping and left the front door open! This movie was really good, but if you see it, don't watch it alone at night!
