Ryan, if you really must sell your stuff, I think the best place is to do it here. You'll get a fair price, and who knows, maybe when family finances are back on track you could buy it back if the new owners stick around and want to get rid of it down the line. It sure as hell beats selling to a gamestore or some randomer on ebay. At least you know with us guys it's going to a good home!
I agree with LoD though, you really should talk with your parents. AFAIK you aren't 18 yet (are you 15? I'm terrible with ages/names/dates so forgive me), you have no financial responsibility (or even responsibility full stop) to provide for your family. I'm pretty sure if you discuss it they'll not expect you to sell any of your possessions and judging from previous posts you seemed to have worked pretty hard to get them.
Plus it never hurts to help out around the house. I always did my part for my mum because my dad was such an alcoholic. She was the breadwinner in my family, my dad did nothing but piss the money up a wall every night at the pub. Spent all day watching TV doing nothing. I was glad to help my mum sort shit out we used to have a laugh doing it.
Yeah, I digress. Talk to your family, don't feel that you need to do anything. You aren't responsible for helping out with finances, especially not at your age. The best thing you can do for your parents right now is to try and get a job and use that money for yourself, for your food, clothes etc, anything you might need that your parents would pay for usually. If you buy it yourself it's one less thing they have to budget for. Plus if you are handy with computers and your parents aren't, why not create a finance spreadsheet for household expenses. It might not seem like a huge task to you, but I can sure as hell guarantee they'll appreciate it if they haven't thought to do something like that themselves.
Talk to your folks about what you have discussed with us. Please!
Well I did end up discussing this with my father this evening. He said he didn't really need help but I gave him the 1500 in cash I had earned and told him, if he needed any more I could make more. I've been self sufficient for the most part money wise but I can never pay back the amount of care he has taken of me. Still, Im just trying to help with our family struggles at the moment. We will however know tomorrow if we get a good paycheck that will allow us to live a bit better (and me not sell much more than I have
)Also If you look past Moz's horrible qualities and pessimistic attitude, you can see he really does care
