I'm doing some pairing down myself, this habit can get pricey, and well at the moment, I literally cannot afford to be pricey.

I'll regret some stuff but as long as I have a way to play (flash cart/emulation) it's fine it's about the experience for me, not so much the stuff along my walls...

But you put your Duo R here first. There's nothing wrong with pairing down every once in a while. There's something sick about mas' cycle of boom and bust all the f*cking time, especially when he gets giddy that he will "make a few dollars on the side" as he said earlier this thread.

Just in case someone doesn't bother clicking on random forum links, straight from the horse's mouth:

Let me explain. See you guys should have every right to bash me on this. For over ten years I have done the same thing. Buy a system, get everything I want on it look at it in disgust and sell it off. A few months down the road regret and buy it all back.

Fair enough, I just felt like dumping my .02 in... that's all.

I also have a handicap (tremors, hereditary crap) and can't game like I used to, unfortunate but true.

Runs in the family, progresses as ya get older, and well I'm not getting younger. There are ways to fix it, but they are less than stellar. I live with it best that I can

Dude you got me there. Seriously how long did it take you to find a post from a few years ago to just bash me.  Ill admit I sold stuff but who hasn't. I just lost my job and I need the money to make the mortgage and stay ahead of the bills.   Do you have a job? Do you have money in the bank to pay your bills? Well I don't and I need the money.

Right now I'm in the point of my life where all I need is a retro pie and a couple of usb ports and a mini cab and call it a day.
 
I'm also not selling the tg16 and my games but if I have to I will. Right now I'm going to sell of my collection and kill the tg16 if I have to make that last moment where I know I can make 6-800.

ASIDE: Every time I see the title of this thread, I mistake it for a Weight Loss Challenge

Once again, it's not about selling stuff. It's this buy-sell-buy-sell-buy-sell habit of yours coupled with asking for cheap stuff within the community and then shunning the community when it's time to sell.

That just makes you the a$$hole.

I get it. You have bills, and no one is saying starve and keep the games. It's purely in the way you do business.

Dude seriously that's all you got!!! When was the last time I asked to buy stuff from here? Two years ago?
Man give it up buddy. Your hating on me because I went on this thread years ago and asked if I can buy a couple of games.
