Hurray for video games!

What better way to get over killing someone than Call of Duty

I saw the thread earlier and didn't comment but I am also waiting eagerly. I would really recommend making a video. It's not often (if ever) you get to see something like this with you own eyes.

Yeah, video/pics of a newly public toy & game collection would be pretty badass, especially if it's up for grabs.

I really don't want to be a party pooper because this sounds awesome...

But do you know what you're getting into with consignment? It is pure hell, and you don't make anything at the end of the day. Also, don't forget that if you sell that stuff and get paid via paypal, I'm sure there's more than 20k there. 20k = taxes. You, on your profits - and him on the money he gets paid (you'll have to issue him a 1099).

Good luck though, dude - I hope it works out.

I don't get excited about this kinda stuff until I actually see it. Too many false alarms in the past. But I hope it pans out for you.

But seriously, can't wait to see pics and find out what's what.
