Bricklink allows selling custom items in stores. If he ever set up one there, he'd get kicked off that website for violating multiple rules at once I bet.

Also, if he's painting the figures to begin with why doesn't he just paint the rest of them whatever color he needs?

Also also, what would you call what Christian thinks Megan did? Reverse rape-by-deception?

This could be a stretch but I think Chris is lying about those Lego purchases.

Oh, and Chris totally would say Megan raped him and stole his childlike innocence. He knows that rape is one of those words that gets a reaction.
 
". . . which kills most of my monthly."

Did he actually show some restraint and not refer to his SSI as the "tugboat"?

This is probably exactly what he plans to do. I'm sure he doesn't think at all about the fact that it is legally fraud and that Ebay will kick his ass to the curb if he doesn't honor the contracts he makes, and there goes his opportunity to sell anything.

Maybe this means that there actually is a mortgage on 14BC that still needs paying.

That would explain a lot. They're upside down on a mortgage on a house they can't live in, and they've spent the insurance money on barbage and Lego.

I kind of suspected there's some sort of mortgage on 14 BLC, the property tax payments are too regular. Definitely not Chandler behavior.

If he truly is buying the mini figures to make Sonichu and Rosechu, why would he... you know what forget it. I just... don't want to think that hard today. Summer semester is over.

He's an entrapaner....entrepreenur...entre....hmmm yeah, he's a savvy businessman is what he is.
 
He replaced some stuff he lost. I'm not even mad.

I don't understand this indignation regarding how Chris spent his money. It's not even government money anymore, he's actually earning this shit.
 
Take commisions, get paid, draw them, send them, take ommissions, get paid, draw them, send them, LEGO!, take commissions, get paid, LEGO!, draw them, send them, LEGO! take commisions, LEGO!...

Chris set up his business as an assembly line and hilariously screwed it up like a Donald Duck cartoon.

He did that on 03/08 too, referring to his tugboat as his "usual income".

I'd usually agree completely fully, but in this case his poor financial planning means that his paying customers don't get the products they paid for. So what does he do ? Does he take responsibility and apologize that he faffed up ? No, he just stomps on his foot and demands more money. I think that's what is pissing a lot of people off and I can't honestly blame them.

Whoever bought this shit, seriously guys, you gotta start filing complaints with Ebay and PayPal.

This. Not even about "Oh lets watch Chris freak out" type shit. You're getting ripped off and that's not cool. Not sure there are more people here with orders but this kind of shit shouldn't be tolerated from any business deal.
 
Let's have a look.

Vampyre Castle Set: 150 dollars.
Sailor Moon Box Set: Roughly 200 dollars.
Thespian Minifig: 15 dollars.
Scratchy minifig: Roughly 7 dollars a pop. Presuming that he's going to buy one for each of his electric hedgehog abominations so he can cannibalize the tail, that's 56 dollars.
Detective minifig: He was rather vague here on the specifics, so I'm going with the first result on Google. 20 dollars.
Bat People: Not sure what set he's talking about here, but he gives me the impression that he's talking about multiple replacements. Let's presume its price is between 10-20 dollars.

That's at least 451 dollars wasted on useless shit. This is just what he's told us about too. I'm not even going to mention how he outright lied about how he apparently spent the money on shipping costs.

Plus, the lack of complaints seems to have emboldened him to produce more items he may not have any intention of delivering.
