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

Black Friday
70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, my mom sold the car I've been working on for the last few years for 100 dollars. To buy gas for her car. FML
Today, I had to sell my phone to pay for the phone bill. FML
Today, I was so broke, I couldn't come up with enough change to pay the parking meter at my job. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If you had $400 worth of china, why the hell would you sell it at a flea market? Find buyers who are willing to pay the proper price.

Ok, first thing, at that point it was second handed, so it would hardly cost still 400$, don't you think? Second, if you sell it at a flea market, you won't be getting the money it worths. Everybody knows that. Third, well, you were really expecting someone to walk with 400$ in his pocket at a flea market? That's naive! And fourth, you can always say no. My boyfriend and me have done it a lot of times, and then sell in ebay. YDI

I am curious where you got the price of $400 from? I work in the antiques business, and unfortunately the value of china and glass has dropped so much that you're lucky to get half the book price, and most dealers will only pay a quarter.

first of all you didn't have to sell it. you chose to. And you're saying $400 isn't enough to fill your gas tank?? right
