Well, I cleared a little more room in my house last week by selling a bunch of crap on eBay. As much as I hate eBay, PayPal, and their virtual monopoly in the online auction space, I have to admit the results from this round were impressive. Here is the summary: Receipts (net of Paypal [...]

However, there [...]
