Its really not about money. A lot of people don't know how to fix, or have the time or energy to fix things, or build it themselves.
and I always a barter UP. Traded a super mario cab for the Tales from the crypt, ect ect.
I never sell my toys, when I am broke, I just find money to pay my bills and lower my consumption on things I don't need.. Like eating out, going to the Movies ( when i can just rent it 6 months later ) ect, ect.
Just saying I'm not special and I'm not rich. Anyone can have what I have ( If they wanted it ) or anything similar if they just put their nose down and tried hard enough.
