So I have received my daughters first year college bill. 32K
I am trying to sell my M170 here on the for sale forum. Not a lot of interest.
I will take the advise given by Wes and take daylight pictures and probably do a you tube video.
My question is what would you do?
Where would you list it?
Ebay charges a lot and I am a bit skeptical to list there but if that is my best option then I will.
All toys gotta go. I cant afford this bill but I am not going to not pay for her college.
Its a good M170. Nothing to hide.

With all respect, I advise you strongly to inform your daughter that her choice of colleges does not work with your ability to pay. You have no obligation to spend $125K of your money for her education, nor are you obligated to impoverish yourself and live solely to provide funding for her college. There are many schools out there that will provide a decent education for half the price or even less.
She is the one responsible for her education - not you. She should be researching schools that have the same program she chose and compare costs. Then she should research tirelessly for grants, student loans (especially the ones where she is the borrower, not you) and any other financial help she can get. Then she should be working at least one part time job to help pay her own way.
I told my first son he was going to get X amount of money for college and everything beyond that he had to get for himself. He worked 2 part time jobs, took out a loan each year he was at school and finished his B.A.A. in four years. He learned discipline and the value of money. He is now a successful businessman and making more than me. And I still have my Jeep. Good luck.
