Champion Challenger

Post by fern »

To Any of you that has a Champion Challenger by Fidelity but does not want play it anymore or even have it sadly abandoned in a closet, let me tell you I am prepared to buy it -if workable and complete- and pay the delivery cost, of course.
Please do not even bother to answer if you plan to enrich yourself with the operation. I am ruined and almost at my tethers, in the queue for a hot soup.

If you do not want to talk here, mail me at:

Yes, that truth, I signed for two books with random-House, but the money involved scarcely will be enough to pay for a week of my monthly budget.

Do you believe I am stephen King regards?

Actually, you have to have a real bestseller to get enough money out of it to pay your bills. I had a book deal (comic book) with a big publishing house and the print run was not even bad; better than the average comic book. But in the end it did not even pay my bills for one single month.

The only thing worse is to be an inventor, even if you are able to sell or license your patent for big bucks.. after paying the patent attorney you can barely afford a hot soup... *sigh*
:cry:
