I did a bad bad thing....

but it had to be done. I sold that Xbox and all 25+ games (referred to from previous posts) given to me from a friend, to a pawn shop. For a lousy $100! I had a bill that I HAD to pay by tomorrow, no ifs ands or buts. I had no other way to come up with the $. I didn't have anybody to borrow it from. So its gone! No Xbox for me! I never even got to play most of the games since the system acted up sometimes. I still have my PS2 and GC and under NO circumstances am I getting rid of them. My wife get's her check Saturday but the place I had to pay the bill to wasn't going to be open, and they told me it had to be paid before the month of May ended. I would've rather sold the stuff on Ebay, but I just didn't have time. However, the bill is paid, that's the important thing. I'll be alright.

oh well youll live, your not the only person out there thats going without an xbox.

I had to do the same thing with my PSP once. My work for some reason shorted my 3 days on my check, so it was really small. But I had to pay the rent because it was already late. I got $125 for it, this was back probably in 06

Since then I gota new psp, but every time me and my girlfriend are short on cash that psp is the first thing she looks at

There will always be more opptunties to get another system."It cant rain all the time" (crow was a beast movie)But you gotta do what you gotta do.O yeah,steelers #1 power rankings.

i guess thats how pawn shops work, there's a reason why they sit next to pokies

they should really rename them, "PWN" shops

Maybe as long as she knows that I was in a really tight spot she'll understand.DManSteelerFan

Jesus, man, I'd hate to be in your shoes. :(

I wouldn't have the heart to sell one of my consoles and a bunch of games, all with a straight face.

Have you considered saving your money instead of spending it on video games when you have bills to pay?NBSRDan

There are always bills to pay. That mentality would mean that one would never be able to partake of any hobby requiring the expenditure of money.
