smonster, I liked secondspin for CDs because it was all in one fell swoop, and you could decide if it was worth selling the thing for what they were offering. As a result, the CDs I still own are a combination of my favorites and the WORST, which I wasn't able to sell. But still.
I agree with this for CDs and DVDs. I've also found waiting on a few totally changed the price, especially for unusual or foreign stuff.
I've sold lots of stuff on Amazon, but it's only generally worth it for academic books.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Well, if it helps I know how I feel about it. Approval!
It's close to what I've had before, but shorter on the sides - less of a transition from the short sides to the long top. I think my mom's going to have something to say, but that's nothing new, and I don't really care about that. I think it is going to be a good summer cut. I can pin my bangs up easily and then there's nothing making me all sweaty.
eta and several recs for secondspin, sweet. I have a number of used book places locally I can try to sell at.

This reminds me: has anyone sold any rare-ish books at Powell's before? I have some collectible art books I want to let go of.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, I will say that I lost out on the amount they would pay for shipping by doing too many at once, I think. Which may or may not matter to you, and may or may not have changed in the years since I sold them stuff.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
and search for Hair Model. You can often get free color too.
I totally hair modeled in high school (maybe started in junior high). Just for color. It was awesome. New week, new color. It was nifty.

I just read The Poisoner's Handbook , which I highly recommend, and I now know so much about the horrors of the alcohol that brought about the creation of Prohibition-era cocktails that at the moment a gimlet does not appeal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hair modelled once. It was WTFery consummate. And silly, because I couldn't do the upkeep required to make the style look like they hairdresser wanted. Worst black woman ever. But for ten minutes every few weeks I looked amazing! And then I went back to low rent Tina Turner.

Cosmetology school was one long experiment in hair modeling for me. I had fantastic burgundy/blood wine hair for a while, and any time there was a concert to go to, my hair and makeup became the class project.
