Ok, this is the 100% god awful truth.

Once again I ask mods do not lock this thread, and you will never see 2 threads posted by me at once in the buying and selling section again.

This morning, I went upstairs to see my mom before time for her to go to work, and she was paying bills. So all went well , I was telling her what I did last night, and all the usual. So I told her, that i needed her to give me the $120 that i had had paypaled into her account last week, from my sales a while back. It was to buy her christmas presents.
She looked at her balance and saw how much money she was going to have when she finished paying her bills, and it became very apparent no money was to be found of my $120 that was sent there around 3 weeks ago...

She then realized she had ended up having to use it to pay for when my friends dad worked on her car, she doesnt pay attention to what money goes into her account from my sales, i just tell her how much was sent to it and when it will clear, and then once im positive it has cleared I go with her and we take it out. and that there was no money for her to give me.. she doesn't know that i havn't done my shopping for her yet..

I feel like a complete fucking idiot for just buying that arcade machine , I had just taken it for granted that when i went to get that $120 (today) to buy my moms presents it would be there. If i hadnt bought the machine I would have had emergency money in case something like this happened.

I dont know what im going to do if my mom wakes up christmas morning with no presents to open... so here goes anything I can possibly manage to sell.This MUST be sold TODAY or there will be no time for the money to clear into the bank account,

This really is not a sob story, this is a plea for help that someone will buy this so that i can rush out christmas eve and search everywhere i have to to find something nice for my mom to have to feel cared about on christmas day.

So here are the things I will be parting with.
MINT PS2 in box all documents owned for about 3 months (SCPH-50001) and a half played a total of 13 times for a half an hour or less each time. I even still have the plastic baggies that cover the system and such. comes with Dynasty Warriors 4, Ribbit King, Dog's Life, KOF 2000/2001, Mobile Light Force 2. 1 PS DUALSHOCK, 1 PS2 DUALSHOCK, 1 PS MEMORY CARD, 1 PS2 MEMORY CARD.

truthfully everybit of this can be passed off as brand freaking new except the PS2 controller, and Dynasty Warriors 4 (booklet beat up a bit) Pictures upon request.
$175 plus shipping, ( i know the price isn't amazing but if i just sell this I will have more than enough for some nice gifts and to pay the tax on it all)

Im sorry to have put people on the spot like this, and if i doesn't sell I understand, but I am going to die if I can't give my mom a christmas, because if she doesn't get gifts from me, she doesn't get them at all..

Thank you all for taking the time to read this.

Well... she spent the money you would have used for her present, I'm sure she'd understand if it's a little late.

But good luck selling it, I wish I had the cash to help you out.

Yea I know she did, but I mean it wasn't like she knew it was specifically for christmas, and she wouldn't have spent it unless she needed it pretty bad.
man this sucks..

Put it on eBay. Put a BIN on it. Offer overnight shipping if the buyre is willing to pay for it.

PS2's are a hot hot item right now. If you can get it to someone by Christmas, they will likely pay out the nose to get it.

LOL, I would've just told her "Well I hope you enjoyed whatever you spent all that money on, because all that money was for your Christmas present."
