First off, thanks for the responses guys. I've gotten a few of your guys really interested in my Tex items, so that was really cool. I've talked to Baf a couple of times recently through PM and I figured I'd just go ahead and let everyone know what's up with me.
I'm broke...plain and simple. My girlfriend was fired back in July over some really really stupid BS and things have kinda spiraled slowly since then. She's been trying hard to find some meaningful full time work and has been working at a hair salon for the past few months trying to get by. I stopped working as an independent contractor for DHL back in the beginning of July to become just a regular driver in the company, taking a pay cut in the process (about half to be exact). I did this so I could stop getting raped every year on my taxes (I owe close to $5000 this year, last year it was $3300 - which ate all of my savings). Anyhoo, we've been sorta coasting along until now. I still have a house that I am paying for from my previous marriage (my ex doesn't help with that - in fact, she never helped..hmm) along with my girlfriends house where we live and things just keep adding up and adding up and adding up...oh, and to top it all off, I will be out of a job come the beginning of the year because DHL has decided to stop all domestic service and go back to doing what they do best...international shipping. So, in the last few months, we have seen our freight count plummet and it's just a matter of time before all of us drivers are out on our bums. So, in an effort to get money just to pay bills, I have decided to sell off items from my personal collection that aren't serving any purpose, except for me to oogle at from time to time when I'm in the garage. I know it's not much money that I will be getting, but it's something...and in the process, if I can hook up someone on the board with an item that they may be missing from their tex collection, then so be it. I think you guys on this board are a great collection of people and I enjoy being on the board talking to you all week to week.
So there ya have it...my life (as of late) in a nutshell. Now you know why I am doing what I am doing. And believe me, this isn't the first time I've done this. And I may end up regretting it one day...but for right now, I'm ok with it. It's just something that has to be done. I hope you guys understand.
