Money Financhu Crisis / Chris sells his stuff megathread

[Vehk]

There's a possible solution to Chris' money woes, but I don't know if Chris considered it.

It rhymes with "Bob."

He's been robbing the tax payers for years now

Ring's back to $1,000.

Chris slashed prices on several other items. The Transformers are mostly $50 each (down from $150 or $100). The hair dye is $15 each (down from $25). Cole's homework is $50 (down from $200).

He must be very desperate for money, I wouldn't be surprised if the ring goes down to like, $500-$300.

Part of me wants him to keep the ring, it's the true source of his powers after all.

This is exactly why Chris should have been saving money when his patreon was running high and costs were (relatively) under control.

As exceptional as Chris is, realizing the value of selling your shit to weens is probably the greatest reverse troll ever.

at least he knows his market for his crap

No, the ring, the Tomgirl BS, and all of Chris' toys need to go. I am not being an A-log, but he needs to learn what life is actually like. It's his refusal to let go of the childish ways that are getting him into the most trouble. He's going to 40 in a few years, people are going to have less and less sympathy on an retarded middle-aged man doing these types of things. The only place Chris should hold onto childish things is on the Internet where his "fans" are to keep them donating to his Patreon, in the real world, he needs to be all business.

Ugh, this gobleedeeguk! What happens after your inevitable heart failure, Chris? Are you going to track the ring down to make it cure you? Just Chris saying thathe requires the medallion tells you that he's not going to be alright about this ever. He may superficially feign mental aptitude as parroted from his psychologist, but he still desperately clings to his old ways.

at least he knows his market for his crap

Knowing your market means meeting them at their price level and pricing down accordingly. We all wish we could sell dingleberries for a million dollars, but it won't happen.

You realise that Chris without all his trinkets and fantasy nonsense is still going to be Chris, right? Exchanging all his plastic shit for a few grand of ween money isn't going to fix almost 20 years of untreated adult autism.

%100 agree. As much as I enjoy his antics, I really feel like the trouble he gets into is a personality flaw more than a mental flaw. In the past two years, it's been like a "best of" for classic Chris: trespassing charges, annoying women that he has the vaguest of connections to, fake sweethearts, rage videos etc.
At some point, even his ass-patters are going to be like "you know? Maybe you really are just an asshole."

Yes but it may create a cognitive dissonance that may jar him into a more sensible way of life. Marvin said he responds to the stick, remember?

If he was becoming an adult, I would fully agree with you. The sad truth though is that Chris is pawning off the most interesting and fondly memorable (for us) parts of his history in order to fund lamer and less funny childishness. The Chris who obsessed over the amneyfest ring and made the sonic totem is infinitely funnier than the Chris who wears the same slav cap for months straight and grosses us out in such a mundane way. It makes me a little sad to see this stuff go because these are the last vestiges of old Chris and his eagerness to be rid of them is a bitter reminder that he's never going back.

I'm pretty sure that a person he doesn't know, and who lives thousands of miles away being sentimental for a moment won't change Chris's life in any meaningful way.

Also lol calm down, you always get weirdly heated when discussing Chris, you're probably not A-logging him, but you strike me as someone who's very invested in his life.

The odd thing is that they are becoming more desperate as income rises. Chris is making at least $25,000 between tugboat and idiots. He is now getting $10,000 more than in the past without the ebay money. With that included, he could be up to $30,000 per year. Plus they get whatever his mom pulls in with her retirement and social security. Neither has expensive tastes. they buy cheap white trash junk. Their household should be in fine financial shape.

Where is the money going? I know Chris has complain that ((the bank)) wants the mortgage payment, but they should have no trouble paying it. They spend nothing (relatively speaking).

 

[MrTroll]

Is it just me or does it not feel like a coincidence that Chris is suddenly desperate for new sources of income right after Backpage, the internet's biggest hub of prostitution, was shut down?

 

[Someone in a Tree]

For how much will he sell the portal to CWCville?

 

[RADICALGOBLIN]

He raised the price to a cool $10,000.View attachment 427005

You have to born with either too little or too many chromosomes to buy it at that price. It's like 96% possible he's just gonna lower the cost.

They're easy credit chumps. When they hear "you can pay $30 today, or $50 next week" they're the type to say "haha jokes on you sucker, that's $10 profit to us!".
Then next week the gotta come up with $80.

 

[MY 405]

Reminds me of that scene in 2001 where David Bowman is hurled through that kaleidoscope thing.

“My God it’s full of spergs!”

 

[Magic Sun Daddy]

That's like asking the price of a plane ticket to North Korea. I mean, it'd be nice to have but why on Earth would you ever want to actually go there?

 

[Globe]

I don't know. Bob and Barb never really seemed to understand the cult that sprung up around Chris (not that I blame them for that; it is an odd concept) and I can't see her connecting the dots between Chris, his ironic fans, the amnyfest ring, and weens snapping up Chris's garbage to come up with the idea that his high school ring could be worth a small fortune.

I know hoarders tend to overvalue their crap but this seems like a huge leap even for Babs.

You might be overthinking that scenario. If Chris is selling the ring because Barb told him to, chances are she neither knows nor cares about the cabal of losers that snatch up Chris' shit. It's more likely that her thought process is just "not mine, he never wears it, it could maybe sell for some money". Chris, in his usual disconnect from reality, would've set the price exorbitantly high on his own.

Christ, it's actually going to get sold now.

Barb knows. Chris got all his shady traits about wheeling and dealing from her. These two are around each other all day, every day. She's fully aware of what things mean to Chris and his "fans" because I'm sure he never shuts up about it around the house.

Yes, but life experiences do have a way of forcing someone regardless of their mental competence kicking and screaming into adulthood. This is life knocking on Chris' door.

In my own special way, I actually care about the big dummy.
I'm not as eager as you pretentiously sanctimonious trolls to throw Chris over the cliff.
