The Tragic Garage Sale of 2011

It was the summer of 2011 and I was getting ready to venture into my junior year of [b]high[/b] school. My parents had decided to have a garage sale to get rid of all our crud. The house was caving in...there was so much crud. I was consumed by the crud. I became the crud. Anyways, that’s beside the point... the point is they were selling all our crud. My bike.. my psp... my birth certificate... but that’s not the worst of it. No no... THOSE SONS OF *ITCHES let me sell something worth more than the gift of life... I was going through the “Everything is Gay” phase and stupidly sold my [spoiler]Pokémon cards[/spoiler] [spoiler]for measly pint of blood.[/spoiler] [spoiler]OH THE AGGONY... WHAT A TRAGIC TALE... shortly after that I started filling the void I had with collecting.. not cards... but hands.. that’s right you heard me... HANDS.. I even grow organic GMO free hands I the lab... anyways, I’m babbling on I must go now.. and obey the pixies in my head [b]OR ELSE[/b][/spoiler] ✋

    • That’s ok. My mother, with my knowledge, and I didn’t care at the time because I had “grown up” sold about 6 shoe boxes, and 3 or 4 binders of Magic the Gathering cards. From the first series....in 1992-93....I can bet I had at least 90% of the cards made in the first and second series. I know I had a (I think the name of the card is Timewalker?? It’s got a skeleton on it”. Anyway, I saw that card sale for about 1500 bucks on EBay. Just that card......pretty sweet.

          • My biggest regret is selling our original spyro trilogy. They're expensive now.

                • Of all the things I have sold in garage sales, etc... over the years. My biggest regret was selling a big box full of gen 1 and 2 Pokemon cards of all rarities to a kid in my old neighborhood. I was young at the time, I didn't have a job or an allowance. I wanted money to buy something I had been wanting. My mom advised against selling them at the time, she said I would regret it. I almost listened to her. I almost took the box inside. But I really wanted money to buy whatever the hell it was I was wanting at the time. Towards the end of the day after no one had paid any attention to the box of cards. The stereotypical "weird" kid of the neighborhood came along. and immediately opened the box and started looking. At this point I was wanting him to leave because I had really thought about keeping the cards. For over an hour while my mom was selling other items to to her people that kept coming to our garage sale, this kid was looking through each and every card in the box, multiple times over. He kept saying out loud "i really wish I had more money to buy these". I can't remember what I had that box priced at, but it was more than what he had on him. He kept interrupting my mom while she was dealing with other neighbors and kept saying that same thing, "I really wish I had more money to buy these". I remember her and I both we tired of him lingering around, even after she told him to leave as the garage sale was over. He would ignore her and continue to sit there and look through every single card. We eventually let him have the whole box for the $5 he had on him. Still regret selling that box to this day.
