Using eBay to tidy up a bit

When I decided I was happy with my new fitness tracker watch, I obviously had a now redundant old one lying around. It is absolutely no use to anyone if it lies around in my house. So I disconnected it from my phone, erased all the data, and put it on eBay. I did specify that the battery life is very short, but even so. Someone will have use for it! And that was clearly true. People were bidding on it.



That inspired me to be a bit more proactive. I have a bit of a policy that I can't increase the amount of shelf space for my books. If you move house, books are a menace! And how many of the books you have will you re-read? So I for instance put Memorial up. I didn't intend to read that again. I'm sure someone else will like it.

It's not as if I have made enormous amounts of space in my house now, but I think I have set something in motion. I think I want to keep listing things that are no longer of use to me. Let's see if they can have a new life somewhere else…
