What do you do with all your shit is a problem when you have too much of it. It's only when you have a larger problem ("getting by") that an enterprising idea hits the neighborhood. "You know, you could post that online, maybe you could make some money."
The late Steve Simpson once wrote that the phrase "not worth my time" is a heavy one, because at some point you have to acknowledge and accept a dollar value for which that IS worth your time. And we're not just talking work...it's anything taking up your time.
I thought of that when I saw this ad
Here's half a spindle of blank DVDs. How about $10? Give this person a sawbuck, these can be all yours. It's the same as Amazon's prices. Or something. I don't think you need to tell people you're not sure what to do with all your discs. I used to put DVDs I made into slim cases in some sort of bizarre display. The spines were too small to read, so I still had them in alphabetical order. Then I bought a DVD case and not only saved room, I got back some pride. DVD collections are quite a sight today - I know a guy who has two floor to ceiling cabinets that have doors housing everything. You wouldn't know what's in them unless you knew someone who was buying each season of The Facts of Life on DVD.
"All the cords" If you have a working SD television, you're in good shape. GTA games are tons of fun, right? Damn right they are...wait, is the memory card empty? I remember when I thought the PS3 had graphics "good enough" for me, and then I saw the same game on PS4, and then I pretended not to care about that kind of thing.
Speaking of which, I have the Atari of a girl I knew in college. I have a ton of games with it, too. "Works great." Last tried to hook it up a decade ago. Survived multiple moves for the simple reason that the box was unopened from the last move.
$15? Retro gaming action! You never know. I could make some money, and after the "tax relief" I...any takers? Hello?
