Members Ron Burgandy Posted October 8, 2009 Members Share Posted October 8, 2009 Sell women's eggs for the cash. You just steal the woman, scrape some eggs, then stand out on the street corner offering "Grow your own" babies. It works. Trust me. Upsell your seed to maximize profits.

Members Chrisjd Posted October 8, 2009 Members Share Posted October 8, 2009 A combination of things at the right time is when I buy a new map. I can't go buy whatever I want on any given day, but every so often I will be in a position where I can swing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeathMonkey Posted October 8, 2009 Members Share Posted October 8, 2009 Honestly, it's one of the only things I spend money on. I don't buy fancy clothes, I don't buy fancy watches or other Aberzombie accessories, I wear BDU shorts and stupid t shirts, I'm single, I eat simply - I live like a really perverted monk with a nice media setup. I spend money on music, movies, and band stuff. That's pretty much it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cliff Fiscal Posted October 8, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 8, 2009 Would you put yourself on a financial tightrope for a piece of gear? Not so much spending all of your money, but having a big $2k credit debt out there? What if you really don't even need the gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Just save. Racking up debt for gear = FAIL. ( I guess maybe not if you're 100% certain you can pay it back off quickly to avoid paying much interest + if its nowhere near maxing your credit limit.)

Members K-Bizzle Posted October 8, 2009 Members Share Posted October 8, 2009 I've put myself in a bad spot financially to buy gear before, but I have never and will never buy gear on credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Digital Jams Posted October 8, 2009 Members Share Posted October 8, 2009 No credit for toys, cash only. I remember when these kids here several years ago were buying stuff from MF on MF credit cards and spamming them here to raise money for gear The funny shit was that they were all excited about their brilliance and told everyone about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ron Burgandy Posted October 8, 2009 Members Share Posted October 8, 2009 Oh yeah, the kids that bragged about using college loans to buy gear..................... Same thing as above. Biggest facepalm moment I've ever experienced on here. What's better than buying a $3k piece of unnecessary gear on credit? Paying 6% interest over 20 years on something that most of those retards ended up selling when they lost interest and moved on. So many retards with little to no patience, and too much "gotta have it now no matter what the true cost" attitude. It's just gear. I'd rather play through a Squier and a cheap amp... oh wait, I did do this. For years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Les-Zombie Posted October 8, 2009 Members Share Posted October 8, 2009 I get new gear because I cross my fingers and close my eyes and wish for whatever I want, it's like I wake up the next morning and it's there. I can't explain it either. It's pure magic I guess. It's not like I work or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
