I'm not broke, I'm just saving up for a couple big purchases this year (non-toy purchases).

What's a "non-toy purchase?" I'm confused.

Rubber mallets? I just use my fists for everything like Popeye.

rubber mallet wounds are difficult for child services workers to find; the bruising is hardly noticeable so I've heard....

I'm saving up for a printer and a camer, and I'm not talking about a cheap printer. I'm talking about a $700-$1000 printer. I guess they could still be considered toys.

Also if people are dropping half a grand or say 50,000 yen on single figures, that's gotta hurt somewhere and constrain spending to a degree.

Broke plus saving for other figures (Kaiju and Non-Kaiju)... It's times like this that I wished I had 6 figure jobs. Then again, if really had that much income, would I still be here on Skullbrain?

I am thinking of selling 70% of my stuff since I am running low on cash flow. But it's soooo hard to let go.

Psssht and you say your a true collector .... credit card debt from toys is the first thing you learn to collect.

Let me rephase that. Would one still have the time and interest to be online hanging out, hunting for Kaiju if they had a high income? Just a thought...

I'm not saying no one's a high roller. Just debating if one had that much money, wouldn't it be easier to just buy everything at flipper prices (instead of constantly hunting) and spend more time doing other stuff with u're money? Kinda seems repetitive being online everyday doing the same thing (although it's fun).

The Joy of Victory, the Agony of Defeat.
Yes. Thrill of the hunt. Pleasure of outbidding someone.
Seems to empty to hire a buyer to purchase what you desire.

I know if I had a ton of money I would still hunt stuff down the way I do now.
Where is the fun of just paying some flipper a huge amount of money for something you want?
The hunting stuff down is the most fun aspect for me.

This is an addiction like all addictions. If there was a message board for crack heads I'm sure there would be rich and poor the same discussing the same thing.
And most people who have money are wiser with their pocket book than those with less. Its not about the score its about the entire process. If you where just buying because you could it wouldn't be fun.
