Today, I had to sell over $400 worth of china at a flea market. I barely got paid enough to refill my gas tank. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I went to the local used books store to sell all my college textbooks. I spent several hundred dollars on them in total. I ended up walking out of the shop a pathetic $3.50 richer. FML

Today, I had to empty out my coin jar to pay for gas. Trying to be considerate, I only brought quarters, but the cashier refused to take it because they didn't want to count out my $10. I don't know how I'll get to work today. FML

Today, I realized that I spend more money on gas to go to my job than what I get paid. FML

Today, I'm so poor that I've been scrounging around my house all day trying to find quarters and dimes so that I can buy myself a cup of coffee tomorrow. FML

Today, I came home to find that my mother had sold all my valuable collector coins for cheap at a local shady pawn shop to buy herself a TV. The coins in question were worth enough to start a business. FML

Today, after selling things on eBay all week to afford a nice weekend with my husband and kids, my car died. Now we have to spend the money on a battery. FML

Today, I looked at the revenue from my Etsy shop. After hours and hours of hard work, I was ecstatic to find that I made about $560 so far. That is, until I remembered that it all went to my mom's bank account and I paid all the fees out of my own pocket. And yes, she won't give it back. FML

You didn't earn enough to fill a tank? I drive a Nissan terrano, called pathfinders in the US, and down here it costs me 140 American (160 New Zealand) to fill up. What the hell are you complaining about?

That was a stupid move. Nowadays it's foolish to just hand your crap over to someone else, unless of course it's something that only appeals to a very niche group of people. China is somewhat of a niche thing, but there are enough people interested that you probably could have gotten at least $200 on ebay or Craigslist. A while back I needed some money so I tried to sell some DVDs that I didn't want anymore. I put up a Craigslist ad but also checked a local pawn shop just to see what I'd get. They offered me $28 for the whole thing, which wasn't even close to what I wanted, so I just decided to wait. Just a couple days later someone bought them from me off of Craigslist. I got $125. If your item is anything that a decent amount of average people might want there's no reason to not sell it yourself. You'll always get way more.

Might be harsh, but I have to go with YDI for spending $400 on China in the first place. Why didn't you just go to a flea market? You could have gotten a set for a little more than what it costs to fill your tank...
