Don't mind at all. I owned an amusement vending route, as in arcades, pool tables, juke boxes, etc. Was the best "job" in the world. When things were smooth, I only worked three 5-6 hour days a week and made around 12-15 hundred a week. Loved being my own boss (but still a slave to the clients, ugh) and working on my own schedule which was most of the time.

When I bought out my partner, I attained all of the old PCBs for classic arcades. I sold so many on ebay that my paypal account had a ton of cash in it. Then I saw a few of the Transformers and thought "man, I want a few of my favorites I had as a kid". I thought that keeping them boxed was stupid, lol. After getting a few, I got one that was new in box. Then it went crazy from there. Kept a few of the opened ones, but started collecting the new in box eHobby pieces....

It is ok though. I miss the business; lost my house and a lot more, but we move on. All things happen for a reason..... I am happy with the direction I am headed now. It gave me the chance to get out of Illinois, which was a terrible place to be. The corruption between the police and the politics, the gang take over, and the influx of hardcore drugs is inconceivable! Just a rat race out there.

Anyways, sorry for the life story.....
