It's not about the bike, it's the rider!!!
In all seriousness, I have $68 left in the bank and $8 in cash. There's no way in hell I'm going to
ask my parents for money, because that's grubbing and I don't do that. I can sell their **** lying
around... my mom loves that I'm doing it.
In case any of you didn't know, Asian parents tend to keep EVERYTHING. My home is a veritable trash
dump of old electronics, computers, boxes, ****, more ****, and utter ****. They won't let me throw
it away, but if I try to sell it, they'll say, "Who's gonna buy that?" I say, "Watch me." I sold one
of their old cell phones for $50, cracked face and everything. They just have little faith in me and
assume the worst. Actually that's often an first-generation Asian trait too.
I have a job now, but it pays in lump sum. I get paid next month and I need something to tide me
over. There is SO much to sell... once I'm done with school I can go all-out hardcore eBaying.
So yes, I could Goodwill this, but this bike is brand-new. There isn't even any rust on it, and
there's only one "alloy" and that's the rims.
As former/current students, I know that you all know the money crunch situation. Do what you
can, you know?
