It's gonna suck for a while as i get rearranged and all but in the end it should free up a bit of coin too. We kept everything financially separate so it's a easy break and were not married but damn. It's literally been 20 years since I met her in school, helped her out of a bad marriage and been "together" for 6 years. Talk about a blind side
Thanks guys, now get back to the topic at hand!

Sorry to hear that buddy. I went through the same thing a couple years back, and it ended up working out really well. I'm happier than ever now. Keep your head up!

Sucks big time when you need so much but your hobby money gets slashed. I'm hating life right now, guess I'll have to slowly work through them one by one.
Do you guys set aside a certain amount each paycheck or just buy whatever you need whenever?
Going to try something new, for the first time. Swap meet. I've been going to them for years. a buddy of mine asked if I would like to join him on going half's on a venders table to sell some crap, so I said sure. Always a buyer, never a seller, so over the year's I've collected a lot of crap, mostly auto. Hope I can get together some extra RC money, because that's the main reason why I would sell, while I'm there I going to look out for some black vinyl, this summer I'm building some custom door speaker panel's for my truck.
As an urban minor, this time of year always yields Christmas lights on the side of the road, which I sell for the copper (and I did find some today). But, while driving down the road, I spotted something that looked like an RC car. When I went to the corner, it turned out, it was a huge lot of Lego (my other love). On BrickLink.com this must be at least $300 worth of Lego. Not for sale of course, just thought I'd show you guys.
Also found these among the Lego. Not sure what they are called, Finger Boards? They are miniature skateboards. Not really my thing. But if anyone is interested, they are free to a good home if you pay for shipping (I know, BST).

Yeah right, not a chance!!
I hope that is a joke.
I used to do replica movie prop painting a long time ago and I made some good cash at it and that supported my movie costume and prop buying.
I wasn't going to report that extra $$$.
It is like reporting yard sale funds, your supposed to, but who does?? I'm not, the government gets enough of my money and spends it stupidly.
Last year I took a huge hit. I lost a job that I was bringing home $4200 a month. Only thing I could find was only allowing me to bring home $2000 a month. Have $2500 in bills every month. Did that for almost a year. This Sat I just got hired at a new company and will be back up to about $3800 a month.

I have a giant tote/tub of Lego from the late 80's to early 90's I'd like to sell. The majority of it is in the original boxes. I'll have to check out that link more closely.

HI!... Actually they are if you want to move to Canada and know how to run heavy equipment! lol
With the state of our country, I think I would be ok with moving
Unfortunately heavy equipment and I would not be a match

I made a lot of extra coin by buying old stock at local hobby shops and selling on eBay. I also made a lot of money by contracting with a local welder to make front and rear aluminum cages for the Tamiya Sand scorcher
Gomachv, sorry about your break up. I went through a messy divorce with a greedy ex. Even though I rarely used community funds to buy my RC cars she went after half of it. Had to give her my Infiniti G35 just so I could keep my collection. In the end karma was on my side and I was able to keep the house by buying her out. It has appreciated 150k in the last 5 years. She is still a bitter bitch and even though I struggle financially with a fat mortgage payment, I know I'm in a better place without her. Things get better with time and eventually you'll be busy chasing so much new tail that you'll soon forget about her.

Here are some pics of my other hobby. Unfortunately I won't be able to pilot it this year due to my surgery. My cousin is going to run it until I recover.

Sorry if this person visited or visits the forum, but why would you waste money on the listing fees when you know there is no way in the world. Let's be realistic.
I don't get it.

The 6 gear transmission can not take the modified motors us guys run, but the stealth certainly can. I'm sure a modern car is quicker, but if both are well setup I think the difference could be much less than you actually think. We have embarrased a...
I bought a 2004 Wrangler Rubicon in May of this year. The used car dealer near my house got this in from a local honda dealer that took it in trade. As soon as I saw the color I knew I had to have it. I thought I threw a lot of parts at the rc's but...

Does anybody know how many 4x4 MIP conversations were actually sold? I’m watching cars sell now for amazing money, and trying to work out why such a big price hike in the last 6/7 years?
I guess if the numbers are as low as I’d imagine, then the...
