Yes, I agree, paying off debt has to come first. When you are able to buy a new doll, after the debt is paid off, you will enjoy the doll a lot more. Where are you going to try selling your beanie babies at? Do you have other collectibles that you could sell? Good luck to you!
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'm selling my Beanies at a place in Streamwood, IL that buys Beanies. I don't know what kind of prices I'll get and I have a few that are worth $50 or more so I'll have to see how that goes. I have around 400 Beanie Babies! The other thing is that I'm going to have to take whatever they offer me as I don't have anywhere else except ebay to sell them.

And with ebay there's cost and so much work involved, and finding out the shipping charges, and all that stuff. So this is really my only option and we're not going to lug all my Beanies and drive for an hour just to go back home. They say no appointment is neccessary if you bring them to this site during business hours.

Mrs C-Yes I've considered the job thing, but the problem with that is that if I increase my income I'll lose my MAP award. I had to reapply with a statement that I lost my job, because initially I wasn't awarded any money at all when I was working 2 days a week. This MAP award pays my tuition.
