Money Financhu Crisis / Chris sells his stuff megathread

[MG 620]

i offered $1.00 for the ring. It was auto declined.

Very stupid of him. Does he realize he would have been $1.00 closer to attending the Bronycon?

 

[Sheeeeeiiiiiittt]

You know, instead of going to a con Chris should focus on finances.

Who am I kidding though

The look you get when you get caught on camera.

 

[Optimus Prime]

I wouldn't be shocked if he has.

Come to think of it - who keeps an eye on her (and their pets) while CWC waddles off to partake in his funsies?

Barb seems mobile enough and "with it" enough that she probably could survive on her own for a maximum of five days (I'm being VERY generous as well as accounting for Chris's travel time and the full length of the con because you know he'll be there for every second he can) if there's enough ready made/ready-to-make food in the house. Additionally, checking the wiki about how this was done last time, one of Chris's friends also reportedly was on call if Barb needed serious assistance.

The pets though? Who looks after them with the Chandlers in the house? Because they sure don't seem to really treat the animals all that well.

Ah yeah, the hotel fees'll be a bitch and a half. Though, you'd think there'd be at least one hotel that's further from the con but much less pricey. It just seems like he's being awfully frantic about an event three months from now.

Ticket preregristration hasn't been up for that long and already the top-tier price level is sold out. It's an inevitability that the second highest level will sell out as well, so it could be Chris is trying to lock that in ahead of time. Same with hotel reservations, as while for that I highly doubt Chris would be wanting penthouse suites, he certainly isn't going to be sharing a room with anybody and be splitting costs, so he'll bear the full brunt of the charges for that as he did last time.

And him being frantic makes sense because, honestly, Bronycon over three days became the most important thing in Chris's entire life. From the way he was describing the experience it was essentially the replacement Manchester High school years of good feelings he'd been seeking out ever since graduation decades ago where he wasn't treated or really even seen as a creepy goofball weirdo by the majority of the people around him. And of course it was about ponies.

His next trip to court is over the ban from The End Game, which isn’t in the Fashion Square, it’s his new Game Place. It was confirmed he was banned by the store’s FB Page. I think you and @Optimus Prime called this. He’s worried about what’s coming up fine wise because that’s all that ever happens to him, he goes to his hug box fake therapy and he also wants the Big Ticket pass to Bronycon because of the “free/exclusive” swag rather than just getting in the door. I’m sure he needs some of this money to go find “silver slippers” that don’t pinch his dainty Lesbian feet this year.

Was it confirmed to be him banned from The End Games? That was the original impression but at the time, somebody asked the owner of that shop if Chris had been banned and the response came back negative. Of all the places, I do agree that is the most likely because it was his replacement for the long-gone card game meets of GamePlace, and being banned from that again would ruffle Chris's feathers enough to tresspass, showing he has learned nothing from last time.

You know, instead of going to a con Chris should focus on finances.

Who am I kidding though

As some - such as myself - are inferring, this is Chris worrying about finances, in his incompetent own way. He wants to go to Bronycon again, which is expensive, and between minimum payments on debts of all kinds, the looming potential fine for the tresspass charge, and the likelihood Chris himself hasn't actually been saving up money and freely buying more toys and crap up until now, he's realized that if his finances stay where they are, the money that's supposed to get him to pony nirvana instead will be forced to keep him and his mother afloat a little while longer and potentially him out of jail for failure to pay a fine. Thus, he needs an emergency cushion of money injected into the Chandler coffers to give him enough breathing room to get to Bronycon while dealing with the financial situation going on behind the scenes.

A more well-adjusted person probably would skip the con altogether and concentrate on paying off the mounting debts entirely, but a well-adjusted person also wouldn't have gotten into this situation in the first place by not being incapable of learning the value of money, not frivolously spending money they didn't have, and of course being able to hold a job instead of relying on government handouts.

I think he shared a room with someone last time. But yeah, all the hotels in the area are going to be expensive. Badge, hotel room, food and other miscellanea will probably run him a tugboat.

If I remember the sequence of events correctly: Someone asked the owner of The End if Chris had been arrested. He said no. Later someone posted a ween-y story on The End's facebook page about an unnamed individual molesting people. Someone else on the page (maybe an admin? not sure) on the page replied saying that "that individual" had been banned. It all seemed kinda sketchy, but possibly true.

Chris himself complained about going back to the mall and getting snitched on by the gamestop people for going near it. Chris' story was just convincing enough that it might be true, but maybe not.

The whole thing is murky and confusing.

I think if Chris was banned from The End, we'd have heard a little more whining from him. When it comes to not spilling his spaghetti about things that piss him off, he's much better than he used to be. Trust me, Chris is pissed about tons of shit all the time and it doesn't reach facebook statuses. That's why I'm so down on people wanting misery to befall Chris: it'll piss him off, we just won't hear about it, compared to things that excite him.

But The End has been a big social outlet for him, so I think we'd at least hear something if he was banned.

Maybe he's able to stay quiet because his friends are sticking by him, and they'll just go hang out elsewhere.

I think it's probably a 70% chance Chris' trespassing charges are about Gamestop. He might also be banned from The End Games as well for an unrelated matter. (It might be a temp ban too.) I think that's less likely than Gamestop (30% chance). They're also not mutually exclusive possibilities.

Julay asked the owner of the shop “was he arrested”he answered “nope”... which was true. He was not arrested in the common assumption of being given a ride down to county, he was issued a trespass after ban citation, which is basically an arrest on paper. It wasn’t hard to do the math once someone found his post asking “Shan”to let him return on the Jefferson Pokemon League site. It’s held at End Games, the owner is named “Shane”. He specifically asked to be allowed back. Putting the pieces together was pretty simple when you factor in Game Place 2.0 and how long they put up with him. It made the Cwcki https://sonichu.com/cwcki/The_End_Games

 

[BOLDYSPICY!]

For real @Chanbob, I thought Chris was in a towel. Not sure which is worse.

He wants more than $600 for this.

The hotel room will be expensive as fuck. Not three tugboats worth, but they've got mortgage payments and stuff, so maybe the math checks out.

I didn't even consider hotels. I was stuck on the registration. Just for the hell of it, I looked up how much it would cost to register for the weekend:

It gets worse:

Much worse:

There's also a Gold & Diamond tier, for $1K & $2K, respectively.

How much you wanna bet that $600 is for the Silver registration fee?

Someone else on the page (maybe an admin? not sure) on the page replied saying that "that individual" had been banned. It all seemed kinda sketchy, but possibly true.

It was the owner of the official facebook page that inferred that Chris would no longer be a problem because he was probably banned.

Maybe he's able to stay quiet because his friends are sticking by him, and they'll just go hang out elsewhere.

Maybe, but if his begging is any indicator, he looks as if he's desperate to get back into bronycon with special privileges to possibly drown out the fact that he was asked to leave EOG. I believe, at least from Chris' desperation, he's lying about the ring getting sold. If he really had 10,0000 to burn, which is more than their 2 mortgage payments, he would have gone quiet already, drowning himself in video games and children's toys.
To me, Chris is quiet about the EOG because he thinks he'll eventually get back in. He knows that in the past his mouth has gotten him in trouble, and he's desperate to show people that he's "Changed".

 

[CoolGuyHitler]

The Ring is from Jostens (a shitty class ring company) which cost about 500 dollars

On Chris's eBay it said it's from Herff Jones though. I went to their website and customized the ring as closely as possible to Chris's and that was the price.

 

[Marvin]

It was the owner of the official facebook page that inferred that Chris would no longer be a problem because he was probably banned.

The story itself was a ween story though. But I can't imagine that the store owner would react to a ween story with "he's banned, no problem". If it being a ween story was the only piece of evidence against it, I wouldn't argue.

But the lack of reaction on Chris' behalf makes me reserve judgement.

(Although Chris nowadays is inscrutable, so yeah. Chris couldn't be any more confusing unless he became a drug addict.)

It all sounds rather complicated. If there's one thing Chris isn't, it's complicated.

 

[Robotic Richard Simmons]

I believed him way more when he said it was for NUTRITIOUS BANANAS. We all know this is for that deviant Bronycon. I seriously wonder what he'll do when he runs out of things of any remote value in the next 5-10 years.

 

[Strelok]

I would not be that surprised if Chris sold the ring.

Or more accurately, I believe Chris is under the impression he has. This wouldn't be the first time someone has tricked Chris into completing an off ebay transaction with the promise of more money than ebay would give him.

The money itself however is entirely fictional.

No, it was actually somewhat new on the EOG facebook page
Here is the coversation

Ween: Banned Christine Weaton Chandler. Really routing that he loses the court case. Sorry you had to put up with him. He's a very disturbing person.

Admin: We hate to have to ban anyone as we try to be all inclusive. We do hope the environment will be more enjoyable for everyone now.

Those are going to be rather interesting times, indeed.

I'm thinking that they could have payed Chris' trespassing fee a bit early, and Barb gave him the money.

No court date yet, no fine.
