Trials & Tribs.

I haven"t posted for a while because not much was happening and I"ve been busy with my little online buisness, mostly selling on Ebay & Amazon both for myself & other people. On ebay, I started off with records & DVD"s & some diecast model cars thatI had from childhood. With the good weather the records & DVD sales slowed to a trickle, only realy rare stuff seems to sell at any time of year. The diecast vehicle sales though have gone very well. I also picked up some (old school) video games at an offline auction & they"ve done very well.
On that same auction I picked up a 20 watt guitar amp for just £4. It just needed a new plug, cleaned it up and is now as good as new. I even plugged my keyboard through it and sounded clear and powerful, ideal for gigs with Creepy Cool (if we ever get any). I went to that same auction this week and met mad Shawn (who is an ex DJ) who seems to appear when you least expect. He was having chickens because he"d just got a box of records for £4 which turned out to be a bargain. After giving away the ones not wanted, (which I didn"t want either) he was left with a load of pretty valuable 12" singles & Lps including "Blue Monday by New order" He now wants me to sell them on Ebay (or Amazon)for him. I actualy checked the value of "Blue Monday" and its sold for about £5 on ebay to a whopping £15 on Amazon. There was also Equinox by J M Jarre which is listed for £25 on Amazon, I couldn"t even find it on Ebay. The rest were mostly DJ & re-mixes which are his speciality.

Lightning strikes

A few weeks ago after a hot period I shot this video on a phone. It looks pretty close. Click Link below to see.

But not as close as this that someone shot in America.
