I'm also just gonna take some time to reflect on the wild on/off adventure.
March 20th, 2022... it was a very busy day for me, and a rushed one at that.
I won this Performa 5210CD at 8AM for about $10 on Sendico. I was allocating $125 to spend on international shipping.
I took a bit of a rest for a few hours, until I met up with some friends to go bowling.
RIGHT AFTER I went bowling, I took my bike out and started picking salvage electronics up from the e-waste center.
As I returned, I saw my bike got stolen. Someone cut off my lock and took off with my way back home.
The rest is just sheer explanation and hell. Let's just say I got way too ahead of myself.
A couple days later, Sendico receives the package and tells me "Yeah, we can't ship this via sea mail. You're gonna have to pay up the ass with FedEx." Okay, that's not exactly what they said but I didn't account for it.
With my FOMO at full blast, I decided to go with it either way.
It took me about a month to save up for paying the rest of shipping, and honestly it kinda drew me back.
What matters is that I have something... awful. Hopefully I'll get some good use out of it, but if I'm honest, I've spent my "fun money" I get from selling salvage/parts on worse things.
I'm someone who's on the verge of graduating High School, so I am literally PILED UP with stuff in my mind.
Glad you guys talked about these machines and your experiences with them, though. But honestly, this was quite a rush.
