Looping the Hen

Updates of old topics

I said I'd let you know if I got anything from the state of CT! After around 10 weeks or so I finally received the check from the Unclaimed Property division for CT. Not as much as I had hoped, but hey, 45 bucks is 45 bucks. Was a fairly painless process other than the waiting. Just filled out one form and poof, old money reappears! (It was actually an overpayment to the University of CT, which I attended briefly many years ago)

In another money area, my hoped for Ebay business which hadn't been doing so well (selling collectible game stuff), finally generated some bucks. Or, as my friend Allison would say, the Little Peeps finally made some Bank! I managed to sell off 2 sets of little people for around $600 bucks, or just enough to cover the infamous suit I met the Arabian Prince in. Yay!

Only problem is, after doing the math out, even if I sell all the sets or near-sets and the 2 cases I have, I will just break even with my outlay. (A little over 2k, dear Lord) Still, that will leave me with a couple hundred dollars worth of figures to play DDM and D&D with...it's what I am calling my Zero-Sum Hobby. Still, the effort required for those few hundred dollars worth of figures is probably less than I would have made flipping burgers and just earning cash. C'est la vie, live and learn; I'd much rather open little people for a living than flip burgers!
