No real deal here, unless you consider helping the planet you live on a good deal. Go shop at Timberland and they’ll plant a tree in honor of Earth Day. I hope more companies take part in things like this (as well as cutting back on sending out thousands of huge printed catalogs).

So I’ve been selling off pieces of my youth on eBay lately. Comic books, action figures, video games, you get the picture. And the folks at eBay have made it sooo much easier to sell items then they used to. The two hardest parts about selling are taking good pictures and handling the whole issue of postage.

Well, not only can you get FREE boxes from the United States Post Office to ship out your packages, but you can get them delivered FREE right to your house! Just browse the USPS Shop’s Priority Mail section and anything that says “No Charge” is totally free. Yes, you have to ship it Priority, but that makes it even easier to calculate shipping rates, especially if you use one of the various FLAT RATE shipping boxes. No matter how much stuff you jam in that box, the price is still the same.

And you can also prepay for shipping, use PayPal throughout, order a pickup of your package, all online! Yes, there are certain fees throughout, but if you can handle the fees, you literally never have to leave your house to go to the Post Office! Of course, if you stay in your house all day, ordering supplies and shipping out boxes, before you know it, you’ll be craving human interaction and spending your time posting on blogs or something…
