Selling Some Items On Ebay

by Jeremy Schoemaker on July 19, 2008 · 77 comments

I am selling some of my older items on eBay.

My Old Macintosh – Quad 2.5ghz proccessor G5

PC Laptop – This thing rocks and its less then a year old.   Its the ultimate travel laptop.  Great battery life.  Only reason I am selling it is I am all Macintosh now.

I am also selling other various stuff… from dell laptops to docking stations and other various stuff.

Shoe, are the hard drives on those boxes wiped, or not? If I buy these boxes, can I run thru the drives and find a treasure trove of Shoemoney Inc secrets and ideas on how to be a dot com trillionaire? If so, I will place my bid(s) now.

Hrm, could probably use some data recovery software to pull up old biz plans and monetization strategies, and perhaps even IM logs of conversations with the venerable Dillsmack. The data contained within could be priceless…

Just a note that there is an extended battery available for the little Vaio that’ll get you 10-12 hours. I know because I have one as my travel laptop. I get 10-12 hours, solar charge it in 2 hours. Fantastic set up.

hmm, sounds great, I’ll take a look at the auction right now. When I was reading the post I came up to ” only reason I am selling ” It came up to my mind ” I need fast cash ” lol :D ! Imapct of Digital Points Forums, everybody want to sell something because he need fast cash!

lol – how much ‘premium’ will the price be over the average, since it has the Shoemoney association with it…do you think?

Unless the data is there the hard drives are definitely not worth buying as hard drives cost so little.

@trizzo you made me laugh out loud…that is a very clever idea…Too bad that Shoemoney ships the goods only in the US.

That would equate to vintage ebay status of sorts. Nine years is a long, long time in the world of the internet!

The equipment should all be subject to devaluation, and selling obsolete or redundant gear on is a cool way to get a little bit back from the original cash invested in purchasing the gear.

Reply

60 PPC July 21, 2008 at 6:28 am

Non mac people don’t get it, but once you’ve used and grown accustomed to apple’s products one seldomly reverts back to the conventional pc offerings. That pretty much is what everybody agrees on.

A bit of speculation has never hurt anyone. It would be nice retrieving some arcane secrets off the hard drives, but given Jeremy’s background I sincerely doubt it.

72 Geiger July 22, 2008 at 8:43 am

Already $535 for the laptop huh? I swear you can buy a new one cheaper nowadays. However it probably doesn’t come with Shoe-Luck.

Reply

73 Chip July 23, 2008 at 10:40 am

You should “forget” some articles and tools and stuff you did on that laptop. Then it would be worth it :P

hope you get a good price.

75 Erica DeWolf July 26, 2008 at 11:29 pm

Yeah- since it’s your laptop you’ll probably get more for it…
