Sailing the Accountantseas

Yeesh. Ebay changed their entire template on me in the months since I last sold anything, so I ended up having to re-do sections of my template... over and over again, as I'd typed out my listings offline, in advance, using my old format.

Bleary-eyed (especially with this being done on top of much rush-rush-rushing of calculations and reports for work) I've gotten all that needed to be set up for auction for a friend, along with some other items I'm looking to sell to help defray some local costs. The list of what's running is here.

All Buy It Now-formatted items, they will sell or they won't over the coming week. I may decide to add more tomorrow night, but I'm in no state to deal with that at the moment.

Now I'm going to take something for this headache and try to relax for bed. Another stack of calcs and reports lies ahead of me, starting in about 7 hours.

Sorry about the headache. Thanks for all the tedious effort on my behalf. Let's hope it pays off for both of us.

Any sudden re-acquaintance with ebay procedures when there's been enough time lapsed to allow them to make changes is always a minor challenge. I managed to get some items up for me, too, and that's more than I would have done without the extra motivation. Mighty Thor and his Thundering Blow card have already sold, so we're off to a decent start for being much less than 24 hours into this.

Insurance Company-Driven Propaganda Storm It's almost heartening to see them go to these lengths - they're getting a little scared - though I worry how many wingnut media outlets will reference the report as if it's substantive..? ( From the Washington Post ) The Insurance Industry's Deceptive Report by Ezra Klein In the hallowed tradition of the tobacco and energy industries, the health insurance industry has commissioned a report (pdf) projecting doom and despair for those who seek to reform its business practices. The report was farmed out to the consultancy PricewaterhouseCoopers, which has something of a history with this sort of thing: In the early-'90s, the tobacco industry commissioned PWC to estimate the economic devastation that would result from a tax on tobacco. The report was later analyzed by the Arthur Andersen Economic Consulting group, which concluded that "the cumulative effect of PW’s methods … is to produce patently unreliable results.&qu

The Tease of Things I Don't Need

     The lure of things we don't need, could easily find greater needs to apply the cash to, and which we may not even have the space for, is a very First(ish) World Problem, to be sure.        HasLabs is a special projects division of Hasbro, that occasionally pitches large and/or elaborate items - oversized figures and/or vehicles - essentially crowdfunding each project. They set the price, and a funding line - the number of people who need to pledge to buy one (or more -- up to five) at the announced price, then collect the names and information of interested parties for a period of 45 days. Once the number of pledged buys hits the target, the project is greenlit.      A couple years ago there was a HasLabs special build project aiming to fund a production run for an oversized (32" tall), elaborately-articulated action figure of Marvel comics' Devourer of Worlds: Galactus. Back on July 18, 2021 I posted a piece on the project, which at the time was just two days

Oct.13-19 - More Returns and Changes

      Even though I've already watched the pair of debut episodes of Frasier (see next paragraph), and this week's Star Trek: Lower Decks (which continues to do a stellar job of mining  previous Trek series for character, episode and extraterrestrial culture lore and deftly applying them at breakneck speeds), I still have multiple things I'm looking forward to catching up on, including new eps of Gen V (Amazon Prime), Loki (Disney+), and both Archer and Welcome to Wrexham (both on Hulu), along with the first two episodes of a final six for Doom Patrol over on Max... and that's just off the top of my head, so getting this week's streaming post out of the way brings those one step closer for me.       I've watched the two episodes of the new Frasier series that arrived on Paramount+ this week, and while it was a mixed bag it was good to see the character back, with him attempting to move into his third act by returning to Boston, where we first met the ch
