Atsamatta U, lusteh? *huggles and pets*

*talks to you on Y!M*

okay, so some of you may know this already, but I recently (friday, in fact) put a First Generation PS3 on layaway at a pawn shop. 60 GB model (the only other one they had was a 40 lol), which is the ONLY Fully Featured model of the PS3, period. Unfortunately, I need another 350 to pay it off. At about 50 a month, it'll be about 7 more months (not cool). Hopefully, my bills go down soon, but in the mean time, I would like to remind those who ALWAYS forget my birthday each year that for gifts, all I want is cash (my birthday is in September). or PS3 accessories >> <<

*bops* I am poor. You should give me cash.

the government should learn how to count the cost of living is at least 1500, because our money is no longer set to a gold standard...now, our standard is Gasoline (as the price on gas goes up, so too does the price on EVERYTHING)

 

[The Jeffinator]

Well duh. Companies have to pay more for gas to fuel their trucks, planes, trains, busses, etc. Thus, everything else goes up too. Since you are so good with computers, you should buy all the parts separately, assemble it, and then sell it online for, say, double what you paid in total for the parts. Then, use the money from the sale to build two more, sell those, make four more, etc.

the problem is getting the initial capital to perform such a task.....that's the only block....to turn even the slightest bit of profit at such a venture, you have to have the money for the parts in the first place

 

[The Jeffinator]

So sell all your games and stuff, and use that money to jump start your online business. Sure, no games save for free ones for a few months, but then you'd have tons of money. Worth the wait, I'd say. Freedom is staring you right in the face, dude.

 

[dragonrazor]

OH HELL NO....dude....half of my games are quite literally irreplaceable.....they don't exist anymore


on top of that, I'd still fall far short of the initial build's requirements for cash

 

[The Jeffinator]

Well, you could always put your games on pawn, then get them out when you have earned some money. You could start with cheaper computers, then work your way up.

except that I'd get 10 dollars most per game......you don't seem to understand that unless it's current generation, games and game systems have NO resale value outside of to collectors like myself

 

[The Jeffinator]

I just pawned my PS2 today with the game Xenosaga Ep 1 and got 35.00 for it. You have a lot more games and several systems, from what you've told me.

 

[dragonrazor]

LOL...that's what I mean, jeff...you got 35 whole dollars for a system and two games? if you tried to pawn a PS3, you'd get at least 200.....but I find it funny that your PSTwo got you that much...unless the game's worth 15....because my PS2 alone would get me a whole 35 at gamestop in store credit...because it's NOT a PSTwo

 

[The Jeffinator]

But we already established that my system was NOT the same as PSTwo because it's a redesigned one, not the original PSTwo. I bought it from the same store for 65, and they buy systems at about half the price it takes to sell them. And it was just one game. They gave me 30 for the system and 5 for the game.

 

[dragonrazor]

yeah...but apparently, all versions of the Slim are worth less than the everything up to the 500XX series (mine's a 39001)....anything PreSlim is worth at 35, but only if it's in good shape...which mine is not...remember, I need to replace the drive tray, drive motor, and probably lens assembly?

 

[The Jeffinator]

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Lol, you could always start your own video game rental business and people pay to borrow your games. However, most you'd never see again, so maybe that's not the brightest idea, lmao.

 

[The Jeffinator]

Wait a sec... Some of your games that are super rare would probably go for a lot on eBay.

yeah, maybe....but again...LITERALLY IRREPLACABLE.....god, that's the fifth time this year now...

 

[The Jeffinator]

Not necessarily. You could sell your rare games, then a few years down the road, buy them back from someone else who has them, or even from the same person who bought them from you. If you have a shitload of money, you could offer double what you sold them for.

EDIT: Changed "you bought them from" to "who bought them from you"

Dude...the likelihood that they'd even still exist is ...well, let's just say the odds are more in favor of our government NOT toppling in on itself due to its own stupidity

What do you guys think about doing a new Team Titans game after I get net set up in my new apartment? Yep, I already have one set up, or rather, my boss set it up. I'm flying into Riverton, then my mom is taking me back to Thermopolis, swinging by the Holiday so I can get my schedule, shirts, and the key to my new apartment. I'll get a partial paycheck on August 25th, and then a full one on September 5th. Most likely, I'll get net set up sometime after that first September payday. It really depends on how much overtime I get and how much money I have left after getting essential things on that payday, like to finish furnishing my apartment, get a new bike since I can't take mine from down here, make sure I have pots and pans, etc.
