Hey I feel like I started this financial crisis thing. My company messed up my tax withholdings and I ended up owing a large amount of money that I originally planned as a refund to apply towards larger than expected vacation expenses. At this point, I'm basically looking at my belongings and wondering what I can get if I sold. Like my laptop.

I have a mint Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on my shelf, signed by Douglas Adams himself, with a certificate of authenticity signed and dated by a witness and the author himself. I wonder how much it is worth now, versus a decade or more from now?
