Through other means of communication and asked if everything is OK and why I have been posting and selling a bunch of stuff. So I figure a post here is warranted.
This was I can just point them to this thread.

No I don't need the money. (Although who doesn't need more money.) And no I'm not leaving the crypto world.

It has come down to the simple fact that I an over 50 and I've had plans to display many of these things for years and years and have not. And at this point in time it probably never going to happen. So it's time to slowly move them out. Lets face it if my 2016 Crypto Imperator halving coins or my 2014 Ravenbit's have not been put out somewhere in the condo by now to be shown the odds are just about 0 of it ever really happening.

It's not just cryptocurrency stuff it's a vast collection of hot sauces, that were on display when I living someplace else, but now are just sitting in a climate controlled storage facility. Or the classic car memorabilia and parts which were in my parents basement for 25 years and since they moved has been sitting in that same storage facility or......you get the point.

So most of it is just going to be sold here and other forums over time.

As for the international shipping. It really is a bunch of things. It started YEARS ago when another tenant in the building on the Thursday before a long holiday weekend left an international shipping box out in the hallway that had the wrong customs forms on it. So it was not picked up. And it had some very perishable and very smelly food in it that then sat all weekend. When everyone came into the building the next week the odor was....interesting. This was followed years later by another tenant doing something similar. So now even if it's something that is not going to go bad, all international shipments must be brought to the post office or fedex or wherever. You cannot leave them to be picked up. Landlord is VERY firm on this.

Due to the fact that I do a lot of field IT work getting to a post office during business hours is not always possible so things have sat in my car for weeks on end. I have had a 25 year old graphics card for a retro gaming system for someone in Korea sitting in my car for a couple of weeks now. I have known him since I was a teen so he does not care, but someone paying real money *should* get really annoyed with me for doing that. So, it's just easier to say no international, find someone to re-ship. Yeah, I know it's more expensive to you and a pain in the ass. Sorry.
