Psst. Wanna buy some Star Wars Legos?
Since we still haven't found a buyer for mom's trailer, money's getting a little tight. So I'm getting ready to put a bunch of stuff up on eBay. Before I do, I thought I'd give my friends a chance to snap up the goodies they'd like to own.

I'm also seriously considering liquidating about half of my DVD collection, so if there's anything I own that you're thinking about buying anyway, drop me a line.

Xacti HD2 High Definition Digital Video Camera - $600
This is a really cool camera I bought for taking video at ComicCon. It worked great, but I really can't afford to keep it considering my finances, so it's got to go. For the price of just the camera, you're getting the camera, the belt holster, two mini-tripods, two extra batteries and a 2 GB SD memory card.
Fuji S7000 Digital Camera - $250
This is a really nice 6 megapixel digital camera, with a 10X optical zoom, a hookup for a professional flash and tripod, and all the usual high-end digital camera goodies. It's a great camera, but I just never think to bring it with me anywhere, so I got one of those tiny point-and-click cameras to replace it. It comes with a nice camera bag, the original box and manual, 4 memory cards ranging from 256 MB to 2 GB, and it runs on AA batteries so they're easy to replace when you run out of juice while on vacation.
10143 Death Star II - $300
This is an awesome set from the Ultimate Collectors Series. The Death Star has a two foot diameter, an insane amount of detail, and even a two inch long star destroyer that orbits around its equator. I've had this above my desk at eBay for the past two years, and have lost count of how manu conversations it has started.
10129 Rebel Snowspeeder - $250
This is another Ultimate Collector Series set. The snowspeeder is about a foot and a half long, highly detailed, and has an opening cockpit canopy. The seats are much larger than traditional Lego figures, and coule probaboy fit the Kenner action figures if you tried.
Dune Mini-Series Stillsuit - $200
This costume was used in the Dune mini-series. It comes with the certificiate of authenticity from Prop Store of London. I bought it planning to use it as a costume for con, but ended up deciding against it because it is costume-quality (ie, held togather with velcro) rather than clothing-quality. But still, a nice prop for a collector.
6211 Imperial Star Destroyer - $100 - SOLD
I used to have the UCS version of the Star Destroyer, which was three feet long (and $300). But it was poorly constructed and awkward. This mainstream version is still two feet long, but is much better constructed, has a removable bridge, openable main section, and comes with 9 mini figs (Vader, 2 Stormtroopers, 2 Imperial Guard, 2 Imperial officers, a black R2 unit and the mouse droid).
Dell XPS M1210 - $1000 - SOLD
I bought this small form factor laptop when I was expecting to be carrying it around campus all the time. But since my return to school has been delayed, weight no longer matters as much. And my eyesight is crap, so the sexy 12" widescreen display that I would have loved on the go is kind of a pain. So I bought a new desktop instead, and no longer need the laptop. It's running Windows XP, has a 2 Ghz Core Duo processor, 2 GB memory, 120 GB harddrive, CD/DVD burner, built-in SD card reader, and the usual wireless/bluetooth goodness. It also has an extra batter, for those long days working on the road.

I might want the camera but need to figure out if I can pull together $250 in short order. Still feeling a little pinched from dealing with car repairs. I should be able to let you know by mid-week.

The Xacti or the Fuji? For the Fuji, if you want to buy it now and pay me in payments over the next few months, that can be arranged.

Car repairs? What happened to the pretty Prius? :(

The Fuji. I've got one other set of major bills to look at before I commit, but a payment plan might make it work.

The Prius got a mirror taken off just after I got back from London - hit and run who didn't even have the decency to leave a note. That's two deductibles in one month... =(

That sucks.

Let me know about the camera when you get things balanced.

*facepalm* Sorry! I forgot I hadn't replied... =(

As expected the deductibles are sort of kicking my ass when it comes to discretionary funds, and more unexpectedly, I've been gifted with a (less fancy but still functional) camera by friends who wound up with a duplicate...so it looks like the Fuji's back on the market.

I'm sorry I kept it tied up for so long!

No worries. You weren't keeping it tied up. My lack of time to post it on eBay has been doing that. For about a year now. :)

You know, if I had the kind of disposable income that I dream about having someday, I'd snatch up the first three of those items you have pics for. As it stands, my dream buying will have to wait, but I'll try and spread the word. *hugs*

PS... Lovely seeing you at Con for all the five minutes or so it was. Still, it was a nice hug to get from someone I haven't seen in so long. *smooches*

I know, it's always so rushed at con, isn't it? We have to get together for dinner or something soon. Hmm. I'm going to be driving down to SLO to see Madame Polenta's play (I think it's weekend after next?) if you want to do a road trip.

Ohhh tempting. It would depend on what weekend, how long we'd be gone, and what my job status & cash flow is like.

[looks at what I just wrote]

So apparently it depends on the world and how it's treating me at the time. :P

Dinner or something sounds cool. *hugs*

Whatever they would cost to buy elsewhere. I'm going to wait a week or so before I start selling the DVDs, in hopes that the trailer sells and I don't have to. But let me know what you see as far as price comparison and we'll talk later.

Those I probably won't sell, since they'd be more difficult to replace when I have money again, and there's not much in the way of a competitive after-marker for them.

But they do sell them on the Sound and Fury site for a pretty hefty price tag ($25 each or $20 each if you buy them in sets).

So things have improved for me and I can afford the 6211 Star Destroyer now, so I'd like that, and I've got a list of movies I'm interested in...how and when should I get that to you? email next week to what address?

Good luck on selling the trailer!

I am interested in Buffy Seasons 4, 6 and 7, and all of the Angel series. What I can actually afford is Buffy Season 4. So...call me? Let me know if you are still going to sell it.

I'm not selling my Buffy or Angel, but they're on sale at Best Buy for $16/set right now.

Oooh, wish I had known that earlier. I just got the next Buffy at Fry's. I still need to buy Angel, though, so thank you very much for letting me know!
