The joys of eBay

I know I have been a little off topic in terms of writing about video games on the list, but I promise this is my last planned post that will be that way.

I have started to sell things around our place and things that my mother has on the internet to help raise some funds for my comp build.  It is soo damn addicting.  I sold two old blackberries that my mother had for just under 180 total for two separate phones.  I then have my old blackberry that I have up for around 40 bucks.

My hopes are that I can raise about 120-130 by this method in the next week or so.  Splitting the proceeds with my mother on her stuff has helped me get past halfway, however I still need to get more things sold.  With $130 I can get a motherboard or a PSU.

My amazing mother helped me greatly with the CPU and Santa came by and dropped off the case as well.  This will allow me to actually have a place to store things as I do the build.  The remaining total though that I need for the parts minus s/h is around $830.  I think that if the wife and I can agree on a little bit of our budget could go to the build and some discounts on the internetz I might be able to get this done hopefully by April if all goes well.

With a new computer on my mind and my old desktop now working I have decided to go through games that I might like.  This also sends me back to the games that I need to complete.  I have a few for the PC that need to be done so I am going to update the list to reflect those as well.

Will this ever end?????
