Also, keep in mind what kind of big screen TV we are talking about here. It's a circa 2000 Sony 53" rear projection. 4x3 screen. 480i- so no HD. Likely even no component inputs. If I were to try and sell it here on CP would anybody give me $300 for it?

Compund that with the fact that 1/2 of your neighbours are also foreclosing; so who could even buy it? Then the cost of moving it, and of course losing your house likely means you are at the end of your rope financially and emotionally.

What got to me was the guy talking about throwing away kids toys and dolls. My favourite stuffed animal from when I was 3- I still have it to this day. He sits on a shelf in a closet, but he's there. I just can't imagine telling your kids that their favourite toy is gone forever.
