That Was Intense

We are taking a Sunday break from a huge first week of selling the Douglass Fake CD collection.

Over half the collection sold in the first five days. But that means we still have roughly half of it left, with an abundance of incredible titles—classic CDs for a buck or three, rare limited editions at great prices, Italian titles, rare Japanese editions, etc. Here’s a spreadsheet.

But I appreciate people must be pretty tapped out! They want to check out the goodies they just bought, as soon as they arrive. I know I would.

The most annoying thing we dealt with—other than the opening website crash—was a glitch in which one customer’s large order timed out when it was processing, and the items were not properly removed from inventory. So I had to catch those and manually cancel/refund them when somebody else tried to buy them...seeing as how they were no longer available. So annoying! (Don’t worry, I’ve already cleaned up the mess and caught all the problems. You don’t have to worry about this affecting your order if you haven’t already heard from me.)

On that note, I think I’m really hesitant to do this again without a better website. It’s hard to manage because, believe me, each time I’ve launched a sale and the site has crashed, I have checked with the web company, “It’s good this time, right?”

But in their defense, they built an e-commerce site for me (and really, for us) at a really good rate. FSMCDs would not exist if they hadn’t figured out a way to cut costs.

I’m also, by the way, in need of more collections to sell. It’s strange to be pitching people to buy CDs and also to sell them—but everybody’s situation is different. If you’ve reached the point where your housing or enthusiasm has changed and you want to downsize, and want to turn some of your collection into $$, email me: LukasKendallMV@gmail.com.

More to come this week. Thanks everybody!
