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

Then you have to pay for shipping for each sold and eBay fee, that drain your wallet

Buy a bunch of cheap chinese rubbish via a wholesaler, charge some exorbinant prices, and claim it to be 'high quality genuine item'... Bingo! Thats what most people do on ebay...

You would've gotten more over an auction or pawn shop since china is expensive and can fetch alot

Pawn shops will rip you off like none other.

Anyone with half a brain should know that he/she can get a lot more money with eBay/craigslist. I'm not even sure why people deal with pawns unless they're 100% broke.

Thats what you get for selling something expensive at a flea market.

@7 I know, it was supposed to be a joke. I guess it wasn't very good.

That's the joke.

I know, I for one wouldn't want to have 400$ worth of any country except america in my house

Check you tv.. If it's samsung it's not from america.. You smartphone or laptop isn't american..

Also, Toshiba or mitsubishi or any other top brand in electronics that most people own these days outnumber the cost and quantity of American made items owned. Just simple economics really, it's cheaper to manufacture overseas. Sure #18 you can rant and rave about only wanting American made products but when the price of your iphone or flat screen more than triples, I'm sure you'll change your tune.

Probably Japan. They really want those Daimyo/Senkaku islands from the Chinese.

Definitely your fault, you can always say "no". Simple really.

How much money does it take to fill your gas tank!?

You could have sold it on Etsy and passed it off as "vintage" Hipsters from all corners of the land would have flocked to it.
