I made an amazing discovery today:

About a year back, I bought the Fawlty Towers DVD collection at GameStop for $3. (This is a famous British Sitcom from the 70s starring John Cleese and Connie Booth.) I never thought much of it. The show was great and funny and all that.

I looked it up on Swapadvd.com and found that it had quite the wishlist of members going. I figured I cared too much about it to give it up there, but decided that if I needed emergency credits, I would put it up for swap.

Today, I typed it into ebay on a whim. Lo and behold - $30. It's going for $30 on average. With my used copy, I could put it up for $20 and still get some decent bids in.

This would help greatly in my laptop/college supplies dreams.

So I'm saving it until I need to sell it but I'm planning on going to GameStop and seeing what other gems I can find in the rough.

But that was an exciting moment.

I got three things in the mail today:
1. My FF:AC necklace of Fenrir. It is fantastic.
2. The second of David's CDs that I ordered for him off of SwapaCD.
3. The iRiver, which I decided soon after I bought it on eBay, I would give it to mom for mothers day. She was so excited to finally have an MP3 player. Plus, I just ordered a 1GB voice recorder that doubles as a flash drive and a music player.
