ebay lesson 137

just realized that I haven't written for such a long time - not because I feel bad, actually pretty much it is the opposite, but I have been quite busy the last couple of weeks. First some weekend trips (long weekend in France, then Vienna) - and now since two weeks I am working in the UK which is great except that I am travelling, working or sleeping most of the time.

So now that I have to go back to the UK next week, I had to sell my precious Leonard Cohen Tickets via ebay (*sick) because I cannot make it to the concert. Although I managed to sell them, I am not so happy as I think I totally sold them for less than I invested. The reason is, that I made up a bad description. It turns out that I forgot to mention the name of the city in the title. So when you search for something like "Leonard Cohen", you get a million results including CDs, posters, and my auction - so basically you simply do not stumble over it. When you search for something like "Leonard Cohen Frankfurt" - you get 3 results of competing auctions. And all of them went higher than my badly advertised one. So next time I know. By the way - this piece of epxerience cost me only 70 Euros - a fair price I would say ...

The other thing going on for the last 4 weeks has been me being more or less vegetarian. Ok, some of you know, that in my case this includes eating fish. There is a simple explanation for that. My definition for vegetarianism is the following:

If it can cry out loud (so that I can hear it) when it is being killed, then I cannot eat it.

I think it is a very practical definition that pretty much goes along the line of the good old does a falling tree make a sound when noone is around dilemma. I am happy I didn't actually study biology so I can pretend this actually works ...
