Chris is clearly reading here, I think it was @Optimus Prime who talked about the sharpie signature diminishing the value of the toys..

The question is, how did he remove it? I can just see him scratching it off with an X-Acto knife or even using nail polish remover.

 

[thismanlies]

Didn't he throw one of these Transformers in a cat's litter box when he had his sperg moment over Trump?

He could sell that as another piece of Christory.

"This is the Transformer that helped get me featured on Infowars."

I'm not an American, so, may I ask, what's the deal with class rings? Do American schools do that, or, well, used to?

Hehehehe heh he good one

Nothing really. It's a waste of money that probably stays on your dresser for the rest of your life.

Usually has your birthstone or HS color and an activity or whatever you did in HS.

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 exceptional 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.

I really doubt it would help at all. Chris has been acting childish forever. I don't think seperating him from a few toys is going to change that because he still has his vidya (and lots of normal adults like those). There are a lot of people who collect things that aren't like Chris. The difference is they usually have some for of job and the restraint to not chimp out and do illegal stuff in a fit. So I don't see getting rid of the toys and tomgirl stuff as a solution because I'm sure he'll still act like Chris. The issue is that he's exceptional enough to do really dumb shit and seems to have no self restraint.

Even if he were to get a job I doubt it would help him act more mature. He'd still spend money frivolously on whatever he wants and unless he can resist the urge to do something super autistic he might have trouble keeping it.

Didn't he get a payday loan previously? That shit has exorbitant rates and could have been eating away at his finances.

Is Chris charging ridiculous amounts for the Transformers? If so I don't think a signature would make it less valuable because the only people who would pay super high prices are people buying it because it was owned by Chris. If that's the case then the signature could make it worth more (unless the buyer plans to resell at a later date).

Why don't we all throw in some cash and buy Barb?
We can then donate her meat to hungry Syrians.

Pretty much that's all they are, but you know, it's at least a memento of when you went, and something to look back on years later if you come across it again (even if it no longer fits your finger).

He refuses to let them go because A) he literally can not learn to be better, and B) his life is relatively low stakes for the most part given he thinks the tugboat gets him more money than an actual job.

And if what we know from the Macing Incident Fallout is correct, Barb still handles all the legal shit for Chris. He's not going to even get close to learning to adult properly until Barb bites it and he's saddled with her debts. And even then he's going to try and cling to his current lifestyle as much as possible because he thinks the Tugboat gives him more money than a job could.

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.

Chris never actually seems THAT worried about the fact he's in his mid to late 30s with no job, a dying mother, and continuing to get into legal trouble. I don't think he's actually really thinking that far into the future when it comes to himself, probably because he never really has. The closest he's ever come is his idealized bullshit fantasy where he gets married, etc.

Chris is clearly reading here, I think it was @Optimus Prime who talked about the sharpie signature diminishing the value of the toys..

Indeed it was I who pointed out Chris devalued the figures with the sharpie scribbles. But simply removing it isn't enough. As I later noted, sharpie could permanently stain the plastic (because it's over 30 years old in some cases and toys from the 80s were NOT meant to last three times as long as the franchise they were associated with!)

The condition of some of those toys looks like a toddler had owned them, not a grown man who collects Transformers.

Chris must have bought them used on eBay, given every figure he's listed has been off shelves for over a decade at least.

Didn't he throw one of these Transformers in a cat's litter box when he had his sperg moment over Trump?

That was a yellow-and-orange figure named "Sentinel Prime" - I don't think he's listed that but it wouldn't surprise me. I actually haven't gone through his ebay listings.

The question is, how did he remove it? I can just see him scratching it off with an X-Acto knife or even using nail polish remover.

This is what I want to know - did the idiot end up damaging the figures further in his haste, as I predicted? Though I will note that nail polish remover, if wiped off effectively, wouldn't damage the figures - I've actually used nail polish remover on some of my TFs and even a Gundam kit to tighten loose joints (when it dries, the remover actually increases the area which causes friction in ball joints or hinges, making them tighter and thus stronger. It's not a permanent fix in the long term if the joint is moved often, but for static displays its a lifesaver sometimes)

Why don't we all throw in some cash and buy Barb?
We can then donate her meat to hungry Syrians.

That would be hilarious if Chris ended up selling his mom after begging Cole to take her for years.

Pretty much that's all they are, but you know, it's at least a memento of when you went, and something to look back on years later if you come across it again (even if it no longer fits your finger).

Yeah, the only reason I still have mine is because everybody in the Chess club in my graduating year all got the "Chess" engraving on one side - it's the only remnant of those memories I still have really.

What'd the Syrians ever do to us to deserve that horror?

 

[gREEEEEEEEEr]

Yeah, at least send it to Eskimos; they're accustomed to eating whale fat.

What meat? Barb is basically Skeletor at this point.

It'll be interesting to see him piss off other collectors who happen to buy his stuff. Has that happened already?

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

10000 burgerbucks? That is the downpayment for the mortage of my house.
Really makes me reget splurging on a roof over my head when i could have had anchuent powers instead

 

[Strelok]

Place your bets people. Did someone actually pay a whole lot of CWC Quarters? Did Chris realize he's never gonna sell at that price? Or did someone pull a fast one and Chris is about to spend $1,000 he doesn't actually have when the chargeback rolls in?

I think it would say "sold" instead of ended. I think he actually pulled it.

 

[MG 620]

I wanted that ring and now it's too late. NOT FAIR!!!!

If I had a choice between receiving a blood transfusion from Chris and being hooked up to dialysis for the rest of my life I think I'd take my chances with the dialysis machine.

He indeed removed the listing, I posted a cap a couple pages back.

The whole ring thing is amazing, only Chris would list a $1,000 item and expect it to be sold in less than a day lol. Not to mention the price rollercoaster he had going.

 

[Chopinpiano]

I love how in his new Twitter photos he is trying to persistently sell his Transformers toys; while he has literally probably ten thousand toys in the background.
