To add to this, Dustin had to get a WoW account for girlfreind, because she was tired of not being able to play when he was on.

This article reminds me of my daughter getting excited about the pink game boy and the girlie games she could get to go with it...unfortunately the girl games were not impressive! She soon gave up the whole game boy obsession. I myself find it fun to play some of the online games. But I find my life easily consumed by them...one game turns into 2 hours of trying to beat my last score and before I know it I am swallowed up by the guilt I feel for letting everything thing else in my life go for 2 hours, so I have to detoxify myself from the game and run like crazy to get a meal prepared and laundry going. I want to know how all these people have so much time??!! I personally think we must tear ourselves away from this madness and do something productive. Not encourage people to join in the misery!
About the e-bay selling...Do you guys think it would be more profitable to sale clothes in lots or just individual pieces/sets?

Well, it might just be about wiring. I work all day and after I walk the dog, I don't see anything wrong with doing 4 hours of nothing, whether it is TV or video games. I actually think it is therapeutic, but only if you are not constantly worrying about what you are not doing. Some days I am like that, usually when I think it is bed time but I spend 40 more minutes playing.
As for Ebay selling, you will always (generally speaking) make more selling individually than selling in lots. The problem comes down to time per dollar. If you sell individually you will make more money but it will also consume more of your time. If you sell in one lot you will make some money but can do it in a fraction of the time.
For example, I just sold a case of little people for around $450. There were 16 units in the case that I probably could have sold for $540 by selling them individually. However, doing 16 auctions instead of 1 was just not worth the extra $90.
Hope that helps, thanks for stopping by!
