    What things (big or small) have you sold to buy BPs?

    My newly-regenerated BP interest is causing me to look around our house, wondering what to sell for snake funds. Have you ever sold anything odd, big-ticket, or otherwise notable to buy more snakes? Cars, jewelry, etc? Thought this'd be a fun thread

    I am considering selling some of the tanned animal hides that I have. I tan hides at home, and have some that I could part with. (not meaning this to become an advertisement; I have not committed to selling any but it is tempting!)

    Trying to sell an Xbox 360 now to afford an Albino. Also been thinking about selling some of my more expensive eCigs... Haven't actually done it yet, though.

    My other model horse hobby supports my snake hobby, and helps with other things too. I've had my model horse custom painting business well before the snakes though; I'm passionate about both and both hobbies brings me happiness in different ways.

    Here's some commission models I've recently completed for some of my customers:

    eCigs! I use them constantly. It's the only way I have been able to kick the cigar-smoking habit. I now want nothing to do at all with regular cigars, or cigarettes

    And I have Breyer horses to sell, too. This thread is off the hook! lol! Those are beautiful, Daybreaker!

    I don't own anything that is of any value to anyone else but me. Except my snakes and maybe my car. I'm pretty minimalistic.

    2 and a half years smoke free for me thanks to them. I've got a Provari collection in front of me that's probably worth $500... It'll go eventually. I've got a new hobby. LoL.

    Awesome; congrats for quitting. I have at least ten friends/family who quit smoking for ecigs. I only have some eGo Twist batteries and clearos; nothing fancy or beyond what I need everyday, but the fancier rigs are neat. I'd rather have snakes too though; lol.

    Re: What things (big or small) have you sold to buy BPs?

    I sold my recipe to my cheesecake....... Sounds like a low ball but I was given $400 for it. even I was surprised. Than again it was from one of my chefs at school while I was attending Le Cordon Bleu. Needless to say that money bought my first retic and part of my rack. LOL. The only other thing i had sold for snake purchases have been rats, and one of my Ibanez bass amps.
    1.0 Pied Ball Python (Rumple Stillkins) 2.0 Normal Ball (Simba) (legolas) 1.0 Pastel Ball (Isildur) 0.1 Normal Het? (Sarabi RIP 2013) 1.0 Burmese Python (Sephiroth) 0.1 Granite Burmese Python 1.0 Albino Burmese Python 1.0 Tiger Retic (Steve Irwin RIP 2012) 0.1 Lavender Albino Tiger (RIP 2012) 1.0 Spider Ball Python Spidey 1.0 Pewter Ball (pew pew) 0.1 Cinnamon Ball (Cinny) 1.0 Lavender Albino Retic (Old Yeller) 0.1 High Contrast Albino Retic (Sunshine) 0.1 BCI (Ruby)
