I've been really busy here to. FYI to all. I plan on going to CGE. Anyone else?

Hey gang, Been working on a lot lately. First off, my BidVille items (for those of you who aren't subscribed to the YOIS mailing list). http://www.bidville.com/search/user_search.asp?user_id=morrodox&shop_type=al l&sort_by=title+asc I think this is going to be my new site for auctions, as I've just about had it with eBay and their idiotic fascist rules, and the constant outages, and their cheapskate HALF-PRICE listing days. What the hell happened to the FREE ones, is that a bad word now? Anyone else who feels the same way, you're invited to join me, maybe we can start a small vintage software community on BidVille. Seller registration only costs $5.00 for six months, there are NO listing fees and NO final value fees, you get almost twice as long a title for your auction, and you can have auctions up for 30 days with automatic relists. (Oh, you'll still see me bidding on eBay because of the vast selection, but I refuse to pay for their seller "services" anymore until they get their act together.) Shoppe: I finally got some tall enough shelves for the "library room" that will house my collection, and am in the process of unpacking and shelving the Shoppe items. (Did I mention I bought a house and moved into it? Can't remember.) You should see an updated list in another week or two, keep watching my news page. You guys've gotta see my library room and my gaming desk, I promise I'll post pictures once everything gets settled. Decided for the time being that I'm going with regular comic-book archival bags for my own collection items. They make larger ones for action figures that I think should hold most of my bigger boxes. Anyone else find any better solutions? I know we were talking about specialized plastic cases for awhile but that never really got anywhere, my cousin's job isn't in plastics at the moment and I haven't had time to research other places that might be willing to make them for us. Anybody got a working, top-loader Nintendo NES with all the necessary cables? I'm looking for one but don't want to pay eBay prices or spend a ton for shipping. Thinking a trade, if I have some stuff you can use. T-Shirt Counterfeiter: Still watching this guy. He moved back to Indiana after his girlfriend dumped his ass. Still selling self-printed shirts on eBay (but no Infocoms I notice), still being a jerk on newsgroups. Heh, this is great: He's setting up an online postcards thing on his site, and must have logged my IP poking around in the various subdirectories because he uploaded a picture of his wee-wee! Or SOMEONE'S wee-wee, at least. Honest! (Don't worry, I'm not about to post it here. B-) Still working on the column about him, aiming for a one-year anniversary kind of thing, but it'll definitely be guest-pass only, unless he dies in a drunk-driving crash or from a drug overdose or something. I'll post an abbreviated version just about fake versus real T-shirts in the public column. (Yeah, in case I never said it before: Thanks to the people who offerred me advice in how to handle this guy.) Conventions: Right now I've got a friend from Germany planning to visit next year. I'm leaving it up to him as to whether I'll be doing CGE in Vegas or PhillyClassic, but can probably only afford one. Think that's everything for now. How's everybody else? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
