Hey Dirty,

As everyone seems resigned to be in agreement on, priorities take a back seat to no one...when it boils down to it, you gotta do what you gotta do - nothings more important than ones health, which is effected by alot, depending on that individual - in your case, stress from financial constraints, school, housing, @sshole roomies, etc...many of us feel/felt these same pains so you get nodding heads here...put it this way, if it came down to eating, would you starve or keep em? Eating is a staple, just like sleeping, health, well-being.

Use Anth? as an example - or was that some other member...keep a VERY select handful and put to use the others to help yourself out - best win-win situation in my book...

probably a bit late for the debate but my situation was slightly different. totally understand peoples cash situation and in the past have considered selling to make ends meet. i decided to sell (quickly came to my senses) because i thought i'd gone as far as i could go with my collection but now realise that i missed the scene and could probably go to a pair every now and again rather than the 3 or 4 a month i was buying plus living and eating which im sure many of you can relate to.

one thing, i would recommend is carefully looking to see what is out there before selling because the stuff in my crate isnt really every day purchases as Pure said about his stuff. if you can do without it and there are shitloads on ebay etc sell but failing that special editions and other gems simply dont come up every day.

so i would think carefully before selling, i thought long and hard before deciding to sell but thought longer about keeping it. didnt actually sell 1 pair and dont regret it because of the time, passion and overall fun in getting THAT pair. good luck those in tight spots with cash.

could be worse could own a shitty football club in black and white with a bankrupt bank as a sponsor and a clueless fuck as a chairman.
