heat, music & the broken ps3

Tagged Under : , , ,

so i’m in my studio finishing some music and it has to be at least 85 (AND HUMID) up here.  i can’t put the AC on… because i can’t hear the music completely with the cold-making-machine humming along.  very productive night!  was able to complete about 5 minutes worth of music for this tv show i’m composing for, Gunn.

old_pointhave i mentioned that i love ebay?  ok ok, i tolerate ebay, their fees are off the charts.  combine them with their paypal fees and you’re looking at an astronomical percentage of your final sale $ going bye-bye.  ANYWAY… i was able to sell my broken playstation 3 for $167.50 (not including $15 shipping).  not bad for a unit that doesn’t even boot up and just gives you a blinking red light.  YES, the buyer knows it’s broken, i mentioned it about 50 times in my listing description.  most people that sell their broken ps3’s get about $125, so i was pleasantly surprised to see the last minute bidding war take it over $160!
