I am moving. We all know this by now. But what troubles me are the things I have yet to pack up -- not due to their awkwardness or their usefulness even at this late date -- that I want to leave behind. Sure, letting go of some bike wheels I don't have frames for and a cyclocross frame are not a big deal, but still. It takes a bit of work to sell items, even online. The stumbling block really gets notice when it comes to my (somewhat) ancient 4-track console that I got a few years back. It is missing a little rubber band that allows the heads in the cassette deck to turn, and I've been too damn lazy to actually buy a new one. Even more typical? The rubber band in question costs like 12 bucks. No big deal, right? So, I am torn. Do I keep this thing (it's big) and hope that someone someday will get me a guitar (I sure can't afford one) so I can do little home recordings, or do I let it go, find it a new home, with someone who will fix it and use it with certainty?
i vote move it rather than trying to deal with deciding & selling it right now.. then, if you still don't buy a new rubber band in 4 months, sell it!
