Cross out the word sengkekness, please. That's like an uber lie.
Anyway, I finally realised that my house was a jungle, full of electronic gadgets I don't need and never used. So, I decided to make some money instead of just throwing out those stuff.
I went to Cash Converter in Valley to 'pawn'
1 - my old Acer Travelmate laptop
2 - A very old external webcam I only used once for web-chatting
3 - Portable Targus Speaker (It came together with my laptop bag. I used it once.)
4 - A very ugly watch I bought at Ekka (Everything looked good and super cheap at Ekka, okay?)
This was not the first time I've been to Cash Converter, but this is my first time selling my stuff there. So I first pulled out my laptop, and the guy at CC asked me what price was I looking at. So I was like, "I don't know. A hundred dollars, probably."
He checked the spec and said that it was running on the old processor and $100 might've been too much. Well I thought so. Unfortunately, due to my constant flipping of the lappie's screen, the LCD mounting came off. And even more unfortunate that the fault cannot be fixed anymore. After consulting his tech expert, he said that the max he could give me was $5 or $10 store credit.
It was hard for me to let go, but seriously, I didn't need any of the stuff anymore. My argument to keep the laapie was as the back up in case my current Vostro screwed up. But to think about it, I might as well buy a new laptop. I mean, surely I wouldn't be using such uncool broken laptop again. (That uncool broken laptop was my slave for two years and a half, okay?)
Anyway, sold my laptop for $5, the watch for $5, the webcam $5 and the speaker $5. It was hard to let go of the speaker as well since it was a brand name and it was in perfect condition. As for the watch, I wasted $20 on removing the tabs just to sell it for $5. Talk about a waste.
Anyway, in all I got $20. Damn, I didn't even get enough to buy The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown.
More elctronic stuff I don't use and in perfect (as new. barely used) condition:
- An AWA iPod dock. The light for the clock was too dim. I need a bright one to replace my alarm clock and my bedside table is too small to hold two items.
- Laptop cooler. I use my latop on my bed, so it's very tricky to place the cooler underneath the laptop.
