Selling Some Items On Ebay

By Jeremy Schoemaker 76 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.

This stuff is famous. Its that stuff in the video you shot and Chow shot, right? Should be cool. I’d bid if it were about $100
Good luck shoe.

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.

ShoeMoney said on July 19th, 2008 at 7:16 pm

perhaps =P

Trizzo said on July 19th, 2008 at 7:17 pm

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…

or u could just work hard for yourself and be creative instead of trying to find money making ideas in other people’s old stuff. just a thought.

If that were the case, you wouldnt be reading this blog. Troll on brother, troll on!

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 ! Imapct of Digital Points Forums, everybody want to sell something because he need fast cash!

[Reply]
Lawrence said on July 19th, 2008 at 9:06 pm

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

Yeah I noticed that too. I think I came across eBay in 03 so I’ve been around for 5 years.

[Reply]

hahaha, yeah I dont think Shoe needs fast cash but usually thats the reason on Digital Point and most other forums where people sell their crap.

Macintosh is a big deal…. To own Shoemoney’s machine, who made millions with it Isn’t sounds good? Great resale potential, lets say after 5 years

Considers paying a premium? Used hard drives is a no go imo.

Hahaha, thats a great way to get some serious cash for a hard drive.

[Reply]
Goran Website said on July 20th, 2008 at 4:36 am

Or just want to update the current infrastructure, its a quick way to get rid of the old and bring in the new.

[Reply]

Yeah that would be interesting to know, we have thought about it….

Yeah that sucks for us here in South Africa.

[Reply]
Goran Website said on July 20th, 2008 at 4:41 am

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

this is going to be an easy sell, thanks to your popularity.

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

[Reply]
Tim said on July 20th, 2008 at 5:29 am

haha, if I had some money I would bid

[Reply]
meethere said on July 20th, 2008 at 6:11 am

Graham Langdon said on July 20th, 2008 at 2:19 pm

hey Shoe, just curious, why are you all Mac now? security/virus purposes? or other?

[Reply]

I don’t play games anymore with my computer.

With all the money you have why don’t you donate all of this stuff?

I would bid but I could never say goodbye to my lucky E-machine.

I just got off a game on my spare PC.

Main PC can’t even open a game. No graphics card, just onboard lol!

Well said, brother, well said! The issue of recovering data is a pertinent one though, and your point is well taken!

[Reply]
PPC said on July 21st, 2008 at 6:23 am

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

[Reply]
PPC said on July 21st, 2008 at 6:25 am

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]
PPC said on July 21st, 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.

[Reply]

Wow, you sure are full of compliments!

Did you wipe the harddrives first? I wouldn’t mind some “Shoe” secrets.

PLaying computer games age is gone now :p

Mayank Rocks said on July 21st, 2008 at 9:49 am

I agree. I’ve never sold anything on Ebay yet. So cant really say 100% surely.

All sold yet? Did you get your price, Jeremy?

[Reply]
Web Marketeer said on July 22nd, 2008 at 2:11 am

That is the only reason why I still have a conventional PC. Can’t wait for Starcraft II to be released next year. Strategy games are my 1st love!

[Reply]
Web Marketeer said on July 22nd, 2008 at 2:15 am

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.

[Reply]
Geiger said on July 22nd, 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]
Chip said on July 23rd, 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

[Reply]
Eva White said on July 23rd, 2008 at 10:21 pm

hope you get a good price.

[Reply]
Erica DeWolf said on July 26th, 2008 at 11:29 pm

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

[Reply]
Chris Abernethy said on July 27th, 2008 at 7:25 pm

Heh… Shoe-Luck? More likely foremost and sleuthkit… hope you wiped it good Shoe!
