I have already mentioned what I do for a living. Look through the
archives...seems a little personal/intrusive (in fact, this whole post
did, though I am sure I'm misreading it).

Neither. If you read the post (and my many other g-sales posts)
you'd know it is strictly a saturday morning thing. I start early, and it
is over by 9:30-10:30. By that time I will have gone to as many as 30
sales. Some are drive-byes. Others I just walk through in a minute or two.

Probably when you do. :-)

MINE, all mine...just kidding. As you might imagine, I accumulate too
much stuff (though I pass up tons more. If I were commercially minded, I'd
be buying with that in mind.). I have students in dire need of
equipment, and many friends. Plus I look for odd stuff for a few friends,
as they would and have done for me.

Wow, how generous, a commission...please do not be offended, but what
I do on sat mornings is hard work. Let's say I find a perfect Kodak
projector for $10 (happens, I have two LNIB), it's not worth the little
time you're so concerned about me having in my life to box it, and mail it
for $5-10. I can sell it here in hours for 20%
less than B&H used, and
everyone walks away grinning.
I seem to remember that you gave away

Sure did.

Stray tuned, you never know. But hey...why don't YOU get your keyster up
at 4:45, do the sales wherever you live, and write me what whatever YOU
might have for trade, or 10 ommission ?
