    Otaku,

    I'm just getting into the hobby and I applaud your efforts. I don't want to be a Debbie downer and want to keep this positive. I would help if I could but it's a long drive from Texas. I got the bug too and you're very ambitious. Sometimes you have to sell something when things go bad. Sounds like there are folks here willing to help AND sell back to you. Take them up on the offer and you will gain much respect. As a matter of fact I respect what you're trying to do now, but you need to take it to the next level. sometimes you have to do the unthinkable to make it work. You will get to where you want to be but sometimes it can be painful. Sincerely wish the best....

    Quoted from PoMC:

    I just sent $1 for every dickish comment I read. But DON'T waste the money on pizza and soda! Anyone showing up to help can eat lunch first and bring a bottle of water with them for hydration. I haven't lived in NJ for 11 years (thank god) but I'd be stopping by to help if I still did.

    Wow, you must have sent the kid a wad of cash... I understand his situation as best I can and asking for assistance in getting his pins out of harms way is perfectly fine. Heck if I had the same issue I might ask for help too! Wife and I can't move a pins by ourselves. However if he needs cash and has 29 pins he should consider the offers to buy them and sell them back to him when he get's his situation resolved. That offer is a deal that is hard to beat.

    Good luck kid and no matter what anyone here says we hope you save your collection and cheer for you on the sidelines as there are a lot of us just too far away to assist.

    Ok, so if this is a when I was 18 post I lived in a house that was turned into apartments. There was a hole in the floor that dropped into the basement we put a board over. In the winter it got so cold in the bathroom after a shower water would freeze in the tub when you were done. House was condemned after I left. Ate ramen noodles 6 days a week. I could afford my car but not repairs so I learned how to fix it. That's how I got into my profession. When the rep came in and I had to clean his car I would say to myself "That's the job I want". Well 8 years later I had that job! Tough times can help build character and maybe even a profession!

    No disrespect to you OP. As I said we are all cheering for you and hope everything turns out well.

    Uh, definition of otaku pretty much shut this down. Or I thought so....
