I have been beavering away at my lovely Apple keyboard, slowly entering the details of all my possessions for sale on eBay.
I already mentioned my beloved IBM Model M keyboard, which has already had a bid, and I’ve since added most of my DVDs and a hefty number of my CDs. The rest of my music is next, followed by 150 or so books.
I’ve put my very rare (no, really) copy of Babyshambles’ debut single online today – less than 1,000 were pressed, and some joker is selling his copy for £99.99 on Amazon.co.uk. I don’t think my copy will go for that much, but hopefully it’ll earn me a decent return on the couple of quid I paid for it!
Everything in the house has to go, but not all of it’s postable or eBay-able. If anyone in the Milton Keynes area wants a 60W guitar amp, a computer desk, a mountain bike, a futon, a sofabed, a double bed or a dilapidated 3-piece suite, drop me a line…
First up, above is my niece, Chloe, looking rather chuffed with herself.
In other news, there is still a shroud of secrecy over certain developments which I can’t yet mention, but it will soon be lifted. Big news coming soon posted here!
And, on a personally tragic note, the time has come to sell my vintage IBM Model M keyboard. Made in 1986, it’s a perfect example of the greatest keyboard (and a considerably useful LART) ever made, and in perfect working order. Sadly if you don’t want to collect it from Milton Keynes, you’re going to have to pay some rather exorbitant postage I’m afraid – these things may as well be made of lead…
Buy my keyboard [Sold!].
My keyboard died. Not the feeble instrument on which I’m typing this entry, but my main keyboard. My 1991 IBM Model M. King of keyboards. Previously thought indestructible…
Ironically, I was trying to type ‘M’ when I noticed. Nothing happened. ‘Z’, ‘#’ and the return key had all apparently suffered the same fate. The wiring appears sound, and prying under the keycaps of clickiness yielded no answers.
I’ll investigate further, naturally, but I suspect I’m going to have to accept my loss.
25th March 1991 – 8th September 2005. RIP…
