i'd sell a kidney if i could find a buyer. i hear you can sell your testicles too. i got a kid and an extra ball, i could do that. but then if anything happened to the back up ball i'd end up looking like meatloaf a la fight club.

i work overtime mostly. i will work 6 days a week for 10 hours a day when i want to build up the funds for BDs, SA-CDs (as of tonight), when i want some random photo stuff, home theater crap, or a new instrument to mess with.

i have also cleaned pools (for a friend's business when he was out of state), i sell my photos sometimes, shoot a wedding here and there, ***** myself on el cajon blvd, and i have pimped a ***** or two.

Hey, I also tried this. To much hassle, they always try and cheat you out of your hard earned money.

I conned my girlfriends to work the corners for a few weeks to collect BD money for me and the wife. I even had them give there customers a BOGO deal to match the one disney was doing

actually I just sold almost all of my dvd collection on eBay and used the money to buy my BD collection. It worked out great(cept for the fact I had way more dvds than I have blu rays now lol)

i used all 50 dollars of my retirement

BTBuck1 · 11-11-2007, 05:11 PM

well i've been on disability for a couple months, and sometimes there is a delay in my checks do to waiting on the dr. to fill out a form, them laggin at the EDD, etc.

So on a big week of releases lately I didn't have the money to buy the new releases, but I was jonesing hardcore. I needed my fix...lol

So I took a bunch of DVD's (which I really couldn't care less about now) to FYE and traded them in. think I may have taken close to 100 movies in.

the problem with selling dvd's now is that you get nothing for them. even selling them on ebay you'll get maybe a hundred bucks if you list a lot of like 50
