Mine's been going into my mountain bike. Bought clipless pedals, shoes, shorts, a new chain and some tools. Then I broke my front derailleur so I'm in the process of replacing both derailleurs. I haven't sold any knives specifically to fund this but I have been selling off a lot of knives because I'm in the process of 'paring down' my collection to where I only have knives that I actually use and enjoy using. If everything I have on Ebay now sells I'll be down from a high of 15-20 knives to just 3: Spyderco Sage II, Spyderco G10 D'fly, and Spyderco Stretch II. Although I do have a TI Military on pre-order. And I want a Chokwe at some point.

Picking up a Manix 2 this week though, and refinished/accurized the M1 last month, so I think I'll be alright for now :)

Medical bill for my daughter.

I had to sell about 40 Spydercos to help cover it.

I don't like putting stuff like that on credit card. Walked in paid cash.

Yup - medical bills for my girlfriend ... took about 30 different tests before they worked out what she had was a chest infection and laryngitis :rolleyes: Still, you've got to stay healthy - otherwise what else do you have left? Should be in the black this month though so will squirrel away some money for the next purchases :D
My spydies: Squeak, Tenacious, Terzuola, D'Allara, UKPK CF peel-ply pre-production, UKPK CF smooth pre-production, UKPK G10 orange leaf-blade, UKPK FRN grey drop-point, UKPK FRN maroon leaf-blade, Bug ... all PE blades :)

*Sigh* I had to let go a few CF models. They went to friends or people who wil look after them.

I can barely fill half a large Spydrpack now with users. I have a few set aside that I just won't get rid of.

Thankfully Spyderco is popular on the secondary market and make a wickedly fine product.

Sad to hear a couple posters are selling to pay medical bills. But, I'm glad you were able to get the dough.

Next up for me is a laptop repair, the hinge blew out on my 17" about 6 months ago and I'm finally getting around to replacing the chassis. Looks like I'll be out about $400 for that. :mad:

Stupid bills, food and clothes. School takes a fair chunk of money each month, too.

My girlfriend also insists of stupid wastes of money like traveling with friends, going out to dinner or the theatre and stuff like that.

Just dropped $2200 for my daughter's wisdom teeth extraction, my wife's prescriptions are $500 per month and, while I have Medicare driving into Seattle with the attendant ferry tolls costs me about $100 a pop and I've gone a lot lately.

So on my last trip to the doctor I brought a bunch of old cymbals to sell at a drum shop and ended up trading some for this drum set:

It's a rack-grade M1 from the CMP that I picked out, did the accurization with some ingenuity, help from some folks I know for reference material, and left over materials around the house (you can read about it here: http://ohioccwforums.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=44012 ).

I'm waiting for my medical bill to show up. I'm waiting for the hospital to send the bill for the hernia surgery, and am putting a vast majority of my income to paying off credit card debt. Not counting the medical bill, I'm on track to be debt free prior to December.

I sold off unused knives, guns, etc. - will be picking up an AK74 and 4.3K rounds of ammo this week and a new Spydie this week, which should allow me to do carbine courses next year for cheap.

I'm in talks with an AR manufacturer about being a T+E for an upcoming AR10, so hopefully the precision rifle courses I teach will be quite nice :D
