28.05.2014 Will someone, seriously, Please buy the violin I am selling NOW! My mother and I really need the money. http://www.ebay.com/itm/191190232476


Just a protip: broadcasting to your potential customers that you're desperate for money and begging is not a good idea.

Robert Kett replied:


Why not have the bow restrung before you post it on ebay?

Chris replied:


My mother and I are most unable to afford the restringing of the bow. That is why I am offering the restringing to the Buy it Now customer.


29.05.2014 I wish to thank the person who went onto Amazon and sent me a Treehouse and Halloween Accessory set. If you look closely, here are the tombstone, lawyer zombie and green witch that I originally had, but melted in that fire. Thank you very much for your generous contribution. I will add comments under some of the sets in my wish list for Still Need to Replace and really want. Spoiler Alert: I really want the Sea Cow, and still really need to replace the Palace Theater, Grand Emporium and a full Pineapple House (composed of TWO Spongebob Bikini Bottom Party sets (two halves of the same pineapple)).


Chris, this is greedy. You're trying to sell your father's violin (which we don't know if he wanted the family to keep it) because you "desperately need the money," and at the same time you are begging for replacements of your lego sets that melted on public posts. Do you not see what's wrong with this? People will think you're just selling one of your late father's possessions to buy legos.


If you delete my comment, I saved a backup.

Unsurprisingly, this comment was ignored.

No don't listen to William, you sell what you want to sell Chris. Hell, sell everything in your house, and after you do that, sell the house! Build a new one out of legos!

I have to agree with William on this one. Sorry. Chris, you beg for your friends to buy your expensive gifts and to buy your stuff off of you, but for what? I get that you had a fire recently and money's probably tight... but really? Posting two statuses today about selling your stuff, friends buying you stuff, and then begging for more... it's extremely selfish and off-putting. For all anyone knows, you aren't grateful for what you have and just want to get more. I mean, you're asking for duplicates of some expensive legos. If you just got one, would you be happy about it or would you complain that it didn't have it's 'other half'?


29.05.2014 I have just reorganized my Wish List Album with photos rearranged to order of Still Need to Replace over Really Want, followed by the remainder (with the exception of the Sea Cow; I Really Want That).

The Sea Cow in question is like $300 Chris. In fact, MOST of these are $150+. I'm sorry, but Chris... there's no reason to ever assume, much less asked, that your friends (or people you don't even know well) spend that much money on you for ANY reason....
