    Divorce Forcing Me Out Of Collecting, Probably For Good

    Well, a couple weeks after celebrating our 7th wedding, I got a couple of bombshells this month. First, my wife got fired from her job because she was accused of stealing. The following week she proceeded to reveal something else and as a result of this second revelation we are getting divorced.

    While we're trying to handle it amicably, the legal and court fees are going to put me in the red. Plus, all the bills we were sharing I'm now going to have to take care of on my own.

    It tears me up, but it looks like there's no other way for me to get through this without selling off all of my collection. On the one hand it bugs the heck out of me because I just got back a really nice carded set of Trek figures from a member here. I swore up and down I'd never get rid of those, but I just can't see how I can justify keeping any of this stuff.

    On the other hand, with all this garbage going on, I can honestly say there's a part of me that just dosen't give a crap anymore. And frankly, I can't even imagine starting this collection over again. I can't even see a time in the future when I could afford loose figures, let alone the carded stuff.

    Anyway, I'll try and offer up the stuff here to you guys first before going to eBay with it. I'll probably start with my loose Trek stuff first, move on to the carded stuff and the rest of my Trek and comic collection. If you can, please take a look. I know everyone's looking for a good deal, I'll try and offer it for as reasonable a price as I can, but this is all I've got so I've gotta get the most bang for my buck. Thanks.

    After I get some of this stuff sold, I'll offer up my Mego Museum cards.

            Horrible Horrible Horrible!! Even though I don't know you personally, I'm thinking of your terrible situation and if sending good vibes works, they're coming your way.

              Damn man! That's rough. Really hating that you have to go through all this. It sucks the big one. As you said though, in times like these, all this little stuff seems to small that sometimes it's good to purge. Get out from under everything and start it over. Best wishes to you.

                      Choose one Mego that best represents what these toys mean to you and don't sell it for any price. Keep the Museum Cards (you can't sell them anyway, and they will be a great visual reminder of the joy they represent). Sell the rest if you must, but remember we don't judge you by the number of Mego's you own, just your love for them. And we'll still be right here, and hoping that you will keep on being an active member. Good luck, and my sympathies during a most difficult time for you.

                          Rough, rough stuff. Take care of yourself and hang on to at least one favorite toy...
