So I can't find a job, and Wall Street has devoured my $10,000 in investments. Okay, so they're in mutual funds, so they'll come back. Just not as long as I actually need them.
Well, it really isn't all that bad. I've reduced my video game collection to a few handfuls of games that I really love. What it comes down to is that it's impossible to find a job, so I've decided to move out of my apartment and travel around some while I start freelance writing to cover my expenses. Being able to move around is going to be awesome, I'm sure. Downsizing to prepare for that has paid my bills easily. Now i'm getting down to the stuff I'm actually a little bit attached to, but don't really feel like I can hold on to anymore.
It looks like this could benefit some of you, so here's a heads up on some of the things I'm getting rid of that you gamers might be particularly interested in. I would really like to find a good place for this stuff to go, where I'm sure it will be appreciated and taken care of, so the first place I thought to post was here at Destructoid. Definitely PM me on the forums { edit: the forums are down right now, e-mail jondarkwood@gmail.com instead } if you're interested in any of this stuff (even the stuff already on eBay... It's just up just in case, but I can pull the auction if I work something out with someone). :)
These came from 7Eleven convenience stores back in the day. I believe there were only four in the set.
Stuff currently looking for a good home
Stuff I'm ditching on eBay (including a few of the same things already listed)

Missed ya bud
Doesn't freelance writing mean that you are doing it for free?
Oh, the forums died so I added my e-mail address if anyone cares about this stuff.
Google is your friend.
I'm looking forward to the day I have time to play games regularly again... I realize now it's not going to be like it was in college or high school where I just play whenever. I'm probably going to have to set aside time just for playing games every week.
The opposite actually, he'll be writing for profit but simply not for one organization/blog/magazine. In short, he'll be shopping his writing around and looking for buyers or individual commissions.
I always said I'd sell everything I own before I would get a real job. Now it's looking less like a joke and more like a self fulfilling prophecy. ha.
There was another in the set, but he seems to be hard to find, Toad.
I'll ask a couple of people I know to take a looksie at your stuff.
I am recently unemployed too.. and I'm broke but will happily take any donations of whatever junk you need to get rid of... Especially, plushes!! :3
Good luck to you man. I'm a freelance designer myself (TOUGH business, damn) and I know how rough it can get. Just keep your chin up and always look towards the brighter side. :)
On another note, you could sell your body? I was to fat to do that.
Tough times don't last, tough people do.
You really take great care of your stuff!
That classic Game Boy and NES style Game Boy Advance SP look to be in perfect condition.
I've always wanted that NES style Game Boy Advance SP.
Good luck, man. I know how difficult it can be to part ways with material things. Take care. =)
This doesn't mean I'm buying anything, I'm very cheap and am soon to be quite poor (new TV).
