It's all cool though....this has helped me really narrow down my collection to those pieces that are important to me. I no longer have to have them all....and I'm quite happy being very selective. Then when I do get something it's all the more precious to me.

yeah debit card for me also, If I can't afford it when it's shipping then it gets cancelled
I know if started putting by collecting onto credit then I'd get myself in a mess
When you purchase things on credit, youre just enslaving yourself.
I'm not talkin about paying the card off every month. I'm talking about buying things you really cant afford.
Its a tough ditch to get out of when you get in deep.
I agree with the member who said CC debt is for f'in losers. Add up what you paid for the item, then did back through your statements and add all the monthly insterest you've been payin. You may find the the KOTD statue you bought really cost as much as a Rog!
That should be motivation enough!
Wow, sorry for the super-long post.
Really, it didn't look that long in the editor...
I also think calling them losers is a little harsh. I purchased pieces I really couldn't afford, but figured I would have them all paid off in 2-3 months time. Then I got hit with about $2000 in dental bills, my car got totalled while I had it parked in front of my building and my rent was raised. So, unfortunately, **** happens and we make do the best we can and keep plugging away at that debt until one day it is gone. I buy a few pieces now, but I don't put them on credit....but yeah, I could use that money to make a bigger CC payment, but considering how much I've cut back, I think I deserve a treat now and then.
