Instead of concentrating on reading during my train journey today, I (rather self referentially) found myself thinking about how hard it is to concentrate on non-fiction when I’m tired. Text-books and New Scientist magazine are both train journey staples for me, but when I’m tired I find that by the end of a paragraph I’ve […]

I received a piece of spam today with the subject line "hey round eye we sucky very long time". Although I don’t know for sure, I’m guessing ’round-eye’ is a name Asians use for Westerners. I like the idea of this, so I’ll choose to believe it. As for the ‘sucky long time’, I wonder […]

The 2nd hand shopping was particularly good this weekend, and had two highlights. First, on the wet Saturday afternoon I found a copy of the Renaissance Mix Collection Volume 1 for £6.99. This is classic ’94 Sasha & Digweed, and sells for upwards of £60 on Ebay. It’s a keeper though, so whilst the value […]

Yesterday I had another pregnant/fat dilemma. I was sitting in a decent seat on the otherwise busy train when a woman entered.

It’s hard to be sure if the methods I use to sell help to get higher prices for my auctions, and it’s certainly impossible to quantify the effect. Having said that, my attitude is that it can’t hurt, and even if it’s a little more effort to do things my way, it can be a […]

Until I get the chance to give you the full run-down, here’s the quick version: When you find an item you’re interested in, it’s usually a long way off from the auction finishing. To bid at this point would probably not result in a victory, and only results in you bidding the price up, and […]

If I’ve got any current auctions, you can check them out here: robotperson auctions My main focus is on dance music and mid-90’s indie-pop, which are two of my specialist subjects. I have also developed a side-line in Playstation 1 games, which seem to be at the very nadir of their value right now, and […]
