Feel the Karma

Within days of the bum incident, I started finding change everywhere...on the elevator, on a chair in the conference room, and in a urinal in the bathroom. Just kidding about the urinal, although Ron would dig around that cake of deodorant to fish out a penny. Anyway, 14 cents found in the past few days, proving that karma exists. Travis out.

Moral Compass Check

So I'm here in PA and I was walking back from the office and I passed a bus stop. On my right side, there was a bum bending over in front of me. I quickly spotted the penny that he was reaching for and the immediate thought in my head was I can get to that penny before he can! I had to actually stop myself from lunging toward that shiny piece of copper. This game can get inside your head, so I had to stop for a moral compass check after that incident.

Stuff That's Happening Right Now

Two auctions closed over the weekend. Travis and I both sold the same thing at the same time. A really stupid business move, but the results still met our expectations. The ironic thing is that we both received the same amount of money. I actually made a few more pennies than Travis...but who's counting :). Our preliminary estimate is that we'll profit about $25 after receipt of the mail-in rebate and sale of both items. Anyway, we'll update our cash balance once Travis gets back from PA in two weeks.

In the meantime, check out our current sales initiatives. And buy something while you're at it......

Money Money Money


Another beautiful week has passed here on the Gulf of Mexico. Unfortunately, my buddy Travis has spent the last week up in Harrisburg, PA. So, in the spirit of friendship....look to the right Travis and see what you've been missing.

Meanwhile, we've had some changes to our account. We received $50 cash from a mail-in rebate and we also sold the boat cover for $40.

So, add $90 to our liquid cash stake and deduct likewise from both mail-in rebates and ready to be sold assets.

Watch out Trump! Travis and Ron are headed in your direction.

Current State Of Affairs

Travis and I recently conducted another audit of Common Currentsea. The results are in they're hard to believe. We've come a long way in a very short timeframe. Take a lokk at these metrics.......

Liquid Cash = $78.01
Mail-in Rabtes = $140
Assets Ready For Sale = $271


That puts our net worth at nearly $490. Talk about making something out of nothing. It wasn't too long ago that I was struggling to figure out how to get to one buck.

We've got two auctions underway. The problem is that both auctions are selling the same stuff. I messed up. I was supposed to wait another week for Travis' auction to close. But the eBay world is big enough for the two of us - I hope. If nothing else, this will be a healthy competition to see who can get the highest bid for the same exact suff. Let's see who is the best marketer.....

Rolling Downhill


The Common Currentsea project is in full throttle right now. We've got three auctions underway and we closed another two last week. Travis and I have yet to conduct an audit, but I can tell you that we have at least $200 in liquid cash. In addition, we have $70 on its way via a mail-in rebate. And on top of that, we've got several items yet to be placed on eBay or Criagslist. Keep on rollin'......
