Do you find yourself spending it, even though you don't have it? Do you wait until cash is available? Do you trade? |

Some auctionhouses allow payment with credit card. Most ebay auctions also allow paypal payments with credit card. So what if my Visa charges 17 1/2 percent interest? At least I get to enjoy new cards. |

I just sit on my hands until my card fund grows back a little. I have my credit cards locked from being able to be placed in my Paypal account, so I don't get a wild hair and max out my credit card for a piece of card board. |

I find myself recycling more and more. Usually it's because I'm selling a bunch of commons or lower-value cards to fund something big - or at least big by my standards. Plus there are times when something else simply catches my eye or I realize that I'll never have the wherewithal to complete some project. |

When I run out of money I generally have to sit around and wait until I get some money saved up. If something appears that really have to have, I will sell of other collectibles I have to pay for the stuff I really want. Otherwise, when I'm broke, I don't even look at eBay. It's just way too tempting to spend a few dollars here and there never get teh moeny saved up for the big dollar cards I am currently looking to buy. |

I jump in my truck and I visit my clients all over the state. With the $.485/mile reimbursement I can cover my gas, make some sales, prospect for new clients and still make out big on the reimbursement check I get back from the company. I figure this way EVERYONE wins! |

When I have no money, I have my cards. Which is why I have no money. So I spend more time with them ... appreciating, figuring, planning, prioritizing, researching, etc. for when the money comes back. |

Gil, that's what I do, too. The problem is....due to me reveling, and enjoying, and plundering, and all that jazz is the reason I end up spending.....or at least wanting to spend. I've done a good job holding off and not dipping into "our" funds. It's hard sometimes!! |

I had to subdivide the "our" funds into the your, mine and ours. Because the "our" funds were never mine. |

It's good to keep some money and some cards. Besides the obvious necessities of life, if all your expendable cash is in cards, then when the unexpected and great card opportunity arises, you have no money to pursue it, and perhaps not enough time to raise it. Always good to have some free cash available. If it's all in cards, find a few you can live without and sell them. That cash might get you something much better down the road. |

When I just have no money temporarily, I contuinue to spend it. When I have no money permanently...I sell my cards (being the only valuable thing I own). |

Adam- I have a pretty big underground comic collection, including several pieces signed by R. Crumb. My favorite was S. Clay Wilson. Furry Freak Bros were funny, for sure. |
