Why Am I Buying Mold Online?



One good thing about my house is that even though I know there’s mold here, it doesn’t have that awful musty smell.  Even the mold experts I’ve had here say it’s strange that there’s no smell.  I’m very very thankful for that.  I don’t know what to think of that, they didn’t either, but I’m okay with it.

The other day, I found the balance board for my Wii broken.  I’ve done so good getting rid of things that I decided to go ahead and replace it.  I went onto eBay and found one for a decent price.  I was so excited when it came today.

As I was opening it up, I thought it had a funny smell.  It didn’t smell moldy at first, just a little off.  I thought maybe it was the packaging.  It very well could have been.  The envelope it came in and the bubble wrap that it was wrapped in both looked fine.  Then I went to do something else and as my hands got closer to my face, I smelled it.  It was a definite mold smell.

The board works great but I’m kind of mad.  I’ve been working so hard to get the mold out of my  house and now I feel like I let it right in the front door.  I got all of the packaging out of the house right away and grabbed my Lysol.  I’ve washed my hands a bunch of times but they still smell like a combination of hand soap, mold, and bleach.  Wonderful.

  • Mold drives me nuts! I have a high sensitivity to it. It is so bad, if I am standing in line behind someone who is wearing a coat that is kept somewhere musty and moldy, I can smell it straight away and I start to cough. I would be SO cross if that smell came with something I paid for! Hopefully you got rid of the mold and can enjoy the board now 🙂

  • I’d be annoyed too! It’s like the universe is testing you; mold trying to sneak back in. (Funny how it goes; after I got rid of a lot of stuff and went modestly minimal, people wanted to unload junk on me. I stick to my resolve & either don’t accept it or if I take something but don’t use it in fairly short order, get rid of it.)
