ebay, you are killing me

okay, not really. the thing is, i have a ton of these rad old knitting magazines and pamphlets and patterns, inherited by my mother by one of her clients, and i'm trying to unload them on ebay. they are awesome, and some we are keeping, but honestly, no one needs as many knitting magazines as this lady collected. it was boxes and boxes and boxes and BOXES of them, and they are a pain in my ass because i am listing them one at a time. i know, so much work, right? especially for one as lazy as i am, but selling them in a big batch, or even a few small batches just seems wrong. all of them are crazy, ridiculous and awesome in different ways. i don't want someone stuck with a bunch of lame patterns they hate just to get two they scream about. also, having three beers while watching movies tonight sort of sucked out my enthusiasm for this project but i am pressing on. trying very hard to remember to check my spelling (did you know searching for misspelled shit on ebay is a big deal? then you get great stuff that no one else is finding because they can spell!), taking better photos, and organizing things into neat piles. i have a feeling this is all going to make the fisherman crazy, as much of my messes do, but i'm hoping the extra cash we might make will calm him down. i have to split the proceeds with mom, but that's okay. she was the one who got them to start with, she totally deserves it!
