That must have been hard, I was looking at my old sports cards and am having a tough time parting with them and they aren't even worth anything, I can't even bring myself to throw them in the trash
It was really hard, but I had been thinking about it for several years. I bought my house 2 years ago and was wondering why I was making these house payments when I have all these toys that could pay for it rather than wasting money on the loan. I had them appraised to start the process and let some of the richest nerds I know it's up for sale. I really thought about it and those two Transformers mean just as much to me as the entire collection, so it was time to let it go.
I know my dad would have wanted me to waste the money on blow and hookers, but I paid my house off instead. Tax season could be fun next year, but I already had an LLC in my name (as I have 100 acres of farm land as well) that was passed to me. My tax guy is going to love me next year!
