I've added the ticker, but hadn't thought about ticking it down with any sales, that's a great idea and something I'll be doing, if I sell anything.<br /><br />I know I spent way to much last year and that can't happen again. I'd rather go on a nice vacation, than have some meaningless cards.Derek Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204833467542945210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630856868133260633.post-4882031776290587482012-01-03T16:03:25.804-05:002012-01-03T16:03:25.804-05:00Try juggling collecting toys, buying/playing video...Try juggling collecting toys, buying/playing video games AND trading cards! I too rather be in the dark about how much I spend. If I were to add it all up I'd have a heart attack. If I were to keep a running total of money spent on my blog my wife would kill me (she reads my blog often).flywheelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17404740580161509052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630856868133260633.post-38703051454190248562012-01-03T09:15:27.620-05:002012-01-03T09:15:27.620-05:00I have the same problem you think about when I spe...I have the same problem you think about when I spend money on cards - my theory is it isn't like you are going to have your 'nickels and dimes' saved up at one time for that one key personal collection card on your wantlist. <br /><br />Sometimes you go with what is immediately attainable because what you want seems a little too far to grab a hold of.Laurenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09560491721875658178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630856868133260633.post-4807523416702388282012-01-03T02:46:09.210-05:002012-01-03T02:46:09.210-05:00i hear you. it's all about that dirty "F...i hear you. it's all about that dirty "F" word ...

That's why I liked COMC selling for a bit...all sales went towards new buys, but it felt like I never spent real money lol.SpastikMoosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13374559066158419166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630856868133260633.post-24268937030841227292012-01-02T23:18:04.448-05:002012-01-02T23:18:04.448-05:00I also prefer that the total cash I spend be an un...I also prefer that the total cash I spend be an unknown quantity.<br /><br />I do pretty good keeping to the weekly card budget I set for myself. Sometimes I go a little over, sometimes I fall a little under. If I stay in that zen state, I'm doing well and I don't worry about what I spend or have to make charts and tables.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.com
