$15 down....
Sep. 7th, 2006 06:24 pm...$115 to go.
I'm trying to earn/save $130, half the cost of a round-trip plane ticket from Pittsburgh to Raleigh and back. I want Ellen to come visit in October (one could almost say I NEED her to visit, especially after this past week), but she has her own financial troubles. So, I looked up no-frills, low-cost airlines and found JetBlue has a decent price.
So, I'm selling off more clothing that doesn't fit me. I'm trying craigslist instead of eBay this time around: no fees for listing. So far, I've sold two pairs of boys size 18 jeans for $10 (I picked them up in the women's plus section of the thrift store without trying them on, got home and realized they wouldn't fit on one leg) and 2 cardigans for $5. The jeans paid by PayPal, and the cardigans will be picked up on Saturday (so most likely cash). I have about $75 worth of other things listed, mostly dresses.
I'm trying to keep all the money made in my PayPal account, since I have a PayPal debit I can use as a Visa at jetblue.com. We'll see how it goes.
I'm half-tempted to draw up a simple thermometer with $10 hash-marks, put it in the sidebar of my lj. :)
