That’s some rapid collecting, but it looks like you got some great ones and some style variety. Just need a wood or two.
The only issue is that having too many throws (as I do), you waste time buying, setting up, fussing over instead of playing. It’s a sickness and the only cure is playing (I hope)!
Well, to be honest, I do know that I have an issue… this happens with other stuff in life too. I go into any hobby balls first!!! If I stick with it, I learn my likes and dislikes and go deeper. Eventually, I learn what I like and don’t like and then I sell stuff. That usally means that I just lost a lot of money. However, sometimes I return to a failed hobby, but something else is what caused the new hobby to fail.
I did this with guns and now I have a practical collection with massive money loss. Also with Scuba, Drums, Paintball, Golf, Tennis, Dj Equipment, Motorcycles, Playing cards, Bibles, and Ham radio… I am sure that I forgot something on that list. I now have the perfect/practical Dj setup, Golf, Tennis, Drum, and gun collection. No more Suba, Paintball, or Motorcycles… Everything else is still a problem and I need to sell some stuff.
P.S. Anyone looking for Magic/trick playing cards?
Yeah, I’m kinda the same way. It’s how I also ended up with so many yoyos in so short a time.
But the way I see it, it’s not a “problem” unless you can’t really afford them and that money desperately needs to be allocated to something else in life.
Well, this is kinda where it gets real… I know that I have plenty of stuff to sell that I don’t use. Even some stuff to return that we bought at Christmas and didn’t open. Also, tax time is good with 5 kids… I think I am at a good stopping point with buying yo-yos Now, I earn them with practice. Hopefully, my kids will love it when they grow up. My oldest is 7.
My wife also doesn’t know I’ve been spending 100-150$ CAD on yo-yos every 2 weeks for the past 5 months and STILL have a lot im paying a buddy for until I pay him off ,hopefully by March
I don’t think I’d have a wife anymore IF she found out
The way I see it is , As a recovering opiate addict who’s been clean for 10 years I wasted SO MUCH money on garbage I have absolutely NOTHING to show for , so spending my hard earned money on a hobby that genuinely makes me happy is a win plus I can sell em one day IF I so choose
Brother! Praise God for the accomplishment! I know this could be difficult. My only addiction in life has been yoga pants/girls and buying shiny/blinky stuff… At least my kids will have an awesome start! divide my entire collection by 6 (including me) and it is almost not enough
If I’ve learned anything from my increasing pool of divorced friends it’s that the foundation to a long and happy marriage is lying and hiding information.
Thanks buddy it’s the best decision I’ve ever made as hard as it was , life only opens up after you let go , and that goes for ANY addiction
Oh yea I also have to thank you personally for snagging that Sakura & Battosai they “were” in my pile of throws to pay off BUT I had to tell my buddy to try and sell em because the dollar amount of what I had to pay off was getting pretty high
I actually work for the department of defense, but I have five kids and my wife doesn’t work. If you had access to my checking account, you would tell me that I am a complete moron! Let’s just say PayPal pay in 4 and PayPal credit can get me into trouble…
