"Come to Jesus Moment" P.4, Still Pushing!

     and I will give you rest." Matthew 12:28

Edits and Update 09/19/18
Fall has begun, and the gaming season has resumed. Great opportunity to consider what is exciting to play and getting rid of projects that just aren't. Per the below, there's been a bunch of progress in downsizing. 

• Recent sales have been great, high prices for my entire supply of Tekumel RPG products [forgotten in a box for 15 years], Board Games like Squad Leader, and a slow but steady selling of collectible White Rose PA State Police cars. 
• This put $300 into my bank account for bills - yay!
• It also financed a few small projects: "Terminator Genisys: The Miniatures Game" basic box for $27. Another $30 was spent on books and the lovely 1/3000 West Wind Trafalgar British Fleet box. 
• Presently, my Paypal is at $100, entirely game-sale money.

Still working to keep the momentum up. When a project takes off and is gaining traction, it helps clarify what isn't and what should go. 

Also interesting, eBay can give you a total transaction summary - mine is over 18 years long! It is:
287 Transactions for $10,500+ sales, about $35 each.
This is great, it obeys my rule that each eBay transaction should be worth more than $20. I also want each to take less than an hour, which is happening more often.

**EDITS & Update 06/15/18**
Very pleased with recent sale of all my WSS [War of Spanish Succession] plastics by Wargames Factory [now Warlord] and a couple of decisions that drastically reduce some projects [e.g. ALL Warhammer Fantasy GOES except for characters and a few minions for skirmish wargaming] altho I decided to follow thru on 1/3000 naval in small projects. This will still result in net financial profit as naval projects are smaller, cheaper, and require less time all around.

**EDITS AND UPDATE 04/13/18** 
This post reflects a bunch of items that have sold, including almost all the Urban War stuff which went for good prices - about $1.50 a fig average - granted, this included a variety of large and small figs. There is now zero left except for a small Syntha gang that will probably make an appearance fighting bladerunners...

Items that are FADED are gone!

So far $600 in sales in the works, and paypal to bank transfers are up to $500+  [gotta leave some money in paypal for postage and fees]. As I'm not spending any new money on any game projects, this will all go to bills and such.

Still seriously considering totally getting out of GW now that my black library paperbacks are sold. It's amazing how silly most of it looks when you take a step back - even the vanilla Space Marines from AoBR - especially considering all the more realistic 28mm figs for near-future sci-fi. I'll hang on to the Necrons, they may end up as Terminator Endoskeletons.

This is what my old crime unit sergeant used to call that "moment of truth" for perps we were after, where something had to give - and it was going to be them. Quick Google search says something like:

The phrase is based on your choice at the moment you decide to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. It also has a secular meaning: a "come to Jesus moment" refers to a dawning, epiphany or agreement following a disagreement.

So yes, this is an "additional dawning" following choices previously put forward here on this blog [click] to be both better focused and to avoid fruitless spending of time, money and energy.

2018 PROJECT PRINCIPLES:

1. 27 [!] projects, 5 Active – a few too many but nice reduction from 40+!!!!
2. Drop some unique projects, emphasize cross-over [e.g. the figures/basing can be used in multiple sets of rules that I am playing or may play, or the Terrain can be used in multiple scales and periods].
3. Drop: dead-end projects and those without plans for the next year or so, and larger scales for smaller, cheaper, portable scales in future [e.g. 28mm sci-fi for 15mm sci-fi].
4. Fast-play: Easy sharing / hosting, smaller space, simpler, look good, newbies
5. Skirmish / small Units [FUBAR, WAI Skirmish] 40mm & 54mm Colonial Plastics.

TOP PROJECTS [5]:

1. Skirmish: 
1. 28mm Terminator, Moderns, Bladerunner, 40K, WoC Star Wars and 54mm Colonial plastics

4. Medievals 25-28mm: Dark Ages --> Feudal Wales [Saxons, Vikings, Normans, LotR].
5. Modern micro-armor: Syrian 2020

I think I can focus on 6 projects, half of which are cooking on the top burner...they are now organized not in order of priority, but in order of the amount of work to do with them to get them finished for the table.
