I've been pretty strapped for cahs-recently, and to support my habit of breaking guitar strings on a regular basis, and having just recently blown my amp, I needed some money to get a new one.
There was only one way that I could get money for it, and so my NES collection is now only a third of what it used to be, standing at 30 or so games as of today.
The only way i can console myself is to keep thinking that they weren't actually any hard to find games in there, and that I got a good deal for them, but I'm regretting it already.

I'm going to go up to my room and cry now.

That sucks.

I might have to sell off parts of my NES and Genny collections soon, to help pay for a ticket/lawyer.

Never pass a school bus with it's stop sign out.

Not sure yet, gotta call up the lawyer once I get the court date in the mail.

He said before possible 1000 fine and license gone for a year. I hope it's more like 500 max and me keep my license.

I got a ticket Friday...first one I've ever gotten. I was really worried about the price, but I called up today and it's only $70. :rocker:

I have about a 400 dollar debt and I'm still holding on to my NES collection. DIE CREDIT DIE! ...I should have it payed off in a couple of months...

Feh...a mere $400? $1000? I owe $9500 in college loans and over $2000 on credit cards, and I'm not selling off games to pay my bills, even though I'm unemployed. Fortunately, my wife makes enough $ to cover most of em while my immigration is pending, and I take in a few bucks here and there. But selling games would be a LAST resort I think. Wouldn't even consider it unless debt collectors were knocking at my door with axes.

Yea well, you can't just not pay a lawyer and/or a ticket...

Oh well, if I have to sell, I'll get the games back eventually.

Guys, don't sell parts off, keep em, screw the bill collectors, your a game collector....they will just have to wait untill it is convieneint for e to pay them, at least that is what I would say..probably get arrested though.

I'm going to speak for the side of the bill collector here.

We can really fuck up you credit if you don't pay your bill, we are nopt to be trifled with.

I pay my bills...but minimum payments right now...ti works fine and I have awesome credit, even though I miss a payment here and there. But, you can even get lawyers to take payments....same with parking tickets and such...sometimes they'll do a payment program. You should look into it.

You should make a deal with your lawyer. Tell him you'll clean the trail of slime he leaves where ever he goes for his services. :D Sorry old lawyer joke.

I've had to sell my collectino 3 time now. The last time was the final straw. No more of that shit. I'll drag my 31 year old ass to the side of the highway to look for redunable bottles or dress up like homeless guy and become the champeeeen of bum fighting before I sell the collection again. Unless it was dire.
