$41. I'll let it go, I guess. It bought me dinner a few times at Yamo.
But the point is, I need to get on with some of these A-Z Guarantees. Corky's Debt to His Father? This is too much. I'll write a nice note to the buyer, what do you think?
"Sorry, I've got to keep this and I told my mom so it's all right. As a consolation, use your $41 [these things all go for roughly $41 for some reason] to buy a record player and the LP reissue of Corky's Debt to His Father that I swear I saw stocked up at Amoeba on Wednesday. You live, like, a train ride away and you haven't been in months, and your friend Rachel's been up your ass with text messages about visiting.
"Respectfully, B."
Where go all the listening party mems with Joseph Gillenwater? Well, I'm sure they stay, but here's a story.
One time I asked my mom why she didn't remember something that a 12 year old would think is really easy and important to remember but a grown up would not. She said, "Because I have Alzheimer's." So I went to the World Book Encyclopedias from 1984 (I think it was just Volume A since they didn't use that Thoroughgood - Unitas system Britannica used), and read about Alzheimer's feeling really bad for Mom. It was about ten years before I found out she was being sarcastic.
And also that Roky Erikson on Emperor Jones and some other stuff that makes me old and uptight and OCD and needing to set it all on fire and start a new life with a new name. I'm taking care of this.

I was going to say that my mom's go this thing of setting prices higher than the lowest that works really well for her, but you've got me double checking and it was The Unutterable for only $19.75. More Revery right below it, $42. Good riddance.
Hulk Gray, $30? I wish I cared to speculate on popular culture, because this seems easy. I went to the thrift store the other day and came back with six $10-$30 winners for under $2 each; and these were fiction, which is the real underdog category.
But she accidentally got a small stack of choice/keepable stuff. This is probably good for me, make me tougher.
Why is One Foot in the Grave going for anything at all? OOP = dumb.
There you go, sitting on my cash all falling out of my ass pocket.
Scik Mouthy, conversion joke.

Eff this, it's 4:45 and I'm jet-lagged (no excuse) and writing like a mud hut man.

There are CDs, like, any at all, which go for more than £3 used on Amazon?
(PS I am dumm a nice person because the only thing I've sold on there was OOP but I couldn't bring myself to stick an asshole collector price on it. it's just a CD, you know? and one I probably bought for a fiver and never want to hear again)
(I am further dumm because the only other OOP CD I was planning to sell just got a deluxe reissue with bonus tracks, oops)
